It's a good thing Lillard isn't "explosive", because I'd hate to see how well he'd dunk if he had hops!
Not sure if anyone caught the interview with Coach K on Tuesday, but in addition to current team veterans, and also these young players, he mentioned there are a few veteran "All-Stars" in the NBA that are also in the mix, and will be considered as well. I took that to mean LMA, David Lee, and a few other players who aren't in the current pipeline.
I agree. So far it has been pretty fun. Damian looked good. Faried looked good. Monroe has looked OK although Faried took the rebound away from him 2-3 times
It's pissing me off a bit the Irving is getting a Pick and Roll every single time down the court, while "Thibs" isn't giving Lillard the same opportunity. Monty is calling the pick and roll automatically, while Lillard has to dribble down and then pass the ball on the perimeter. Favors is fucking awful on defense and is so slow. I don't think he's even calling out the screens to Lillard, and then he can't recover on defense. It's tough to watch, because it looks like Damian is getting lit up when Favors can't even figure out a simple step out on the pick and roll.
I was just going to say the same thing. Although maybe not quite in those words. Irving though is pretty special. He has that extra burst that I was not aware of.
