Jokic properly balances working from different points on the floor and only leaking out to the 3 pt line at opportune times. KAT as it has always been needs a more balanced approach to his offense.
Also as an aside, Ingles on Murray was a huge mistake. Joe was lost all game.
Nice start to these playoffs.
KAT should be the greatest PnR big in the history of basketball based on his skill set but 1) he sets shitty screens and 2) he almost always fades to the 3 point line rather than mixing it up between diving the hoop, fading to the 3pt line or even just dropping to the elbow.
This could be true.
We'll see if having a better PG will help. Teague was "fine"... but limited.

Teague did pretty well with that Al Horford guy. For years PNR based on stats it was one of Teague's strengths. Maybe it wasn't Teague though... If I had to select a PNR big for the Wolves in their history I don't think Towns would make the top 3.
I watched the 2nd half of that game it's the first action I've seen of the Bible other than a couple highlights. For the first couple minutes I was trying to figure out who was the guy playing SF for the Blazers. I didn't even recognize Melo. Dude is definitely slimmer. He had a pretty good 3rd quarter to keep the game interesting.
This is why I worry about Simmons. He can't make free throws either. Gonna be tough down the stretch when other teams are hitting 3s and we're hiding Simmons on offense.

Neither will Anthony Edwards or LaMelo Ball in all likelihood.
Also, Anthony Davis dominated Game 2 for the Lakers the other night, kek. He was the best player on the entire court during those 48-minutes. I thought bigs don't matter to winning? Giving you a friendly jab, but keeping you honest here. Wiseman has a clearer path to stardom than Ball or Edwards, in my opinion.

Can Edwards or Ball? I don't know, I'm just saying the talent doesn't seem to be there this year. I agree with your premise. If you see the next Luka or Kawhi let me know.
Like I said before the Luka draft, any team passing on him will regret it forever. It was obvious this dude had the skill and drive to be an NBA legend.
