WHY IS KEMBA IN THIS GAME???
This is all on Brad.
I thought Kemba was on a minutes restriction?
I'll give you 34 million reason lol. Also PP is a rookie so the contract plus the previous fact makes it obvious why he isn't out there.
Also PP has struggled to create with the ball in his hands and has largely been stymied as the Pelicans physicality and length became a problem for us.
Bench shot 10-15 in this game. Maybe they should get more shots.
That would take away from Tatum's stats
A lot of those shots are created by both Jayson Tatum and Brown making plays while being doubled and while making plays as well.
If you want Brad to play the bench more maybe we should upgrade it?
Ojeyele, Payton Pritchard, Aaron Neismith, and Robert Williams is among the worst benches in the league.
Of course people don't understand context or the limitations of these players.
Payton Pritchard is good, but it was obvious his lack of elite athleticism and foot quickness really limited him today against this NO team. Aaron Neismith literally wouldn't do anything without ball handlers and playmakers because he seriously lacks even average ball handling skills at this stage in his career. Robert Williams gets all of his points off lobs and hustle plays. Right now of those players only PP is the only player you could actually run a set with and even somewhat expect to create plays with the basketball in their hands.
You want Tatum and Brown to stop jacking up all these shots contested/ difficult shots? Get better on ball playmakers! Expect Kemba to perform better because currently he's not creating a lot of good shots for himself or others.
Some of the biggest issues with this team right now are lack of a true point guard that can play both sides of the basketball and be a primary ball handler and lack of a startable front court. There's no reason on God's green Earth that Daniel Theis and Tristan Thompson should be starting in today's NBA at either front court position. Well maybe if we had like AD or something at either the PF or C positions.
Little do people understand, once you solidify the frontcourt defensively the rest will follow. Al Horford wasn't an elite shotblocker or anything, but his ability to switch onto guards and at least match the physicality/length of opposing frontcourts was huge for us. When you have defensive seives at the 4, 5, and 1 you don't have a good defense it is what it is.
Also this aren't your high school basketball teams lol. Consistently screaming and yelling at grown ass men does nothing but wear out your welcome. Ask Tom Thibodeau
