All of those teams are wildcards right now. They'll either beat the breaks off of us or shit the bed. We don't know what version of those teams we'll get.Miami beat Portland by 60. The Blazers have packed it in. Too bad we don't get them on this trip coming up. Denver, Utah, Phoenix, the Lakers, and the Clippers. Ugh.
And Strus and Mitchell as well.I'd keep giving Allen as much rest as possible.
Dude has clearly worn down.
On the bright side Mobley should be pretty fresh for this postseason.
Good observation. Niang is very skilled with the ball -- soft touch, good control of angles and spins, good range, floater, etc. As long as he can get the shots off, he will be effective. Against more athletic teams, he isn't as effective.Niang is such an enigma
You love him in games like this.
You hate him and hate the coach that puts him in the game when his shot isn’t falling or he’s doing goofy shit.
I think the key is opponent. Against a long athletic team that can run him off the court and exploit him in both the half court and full court/atheltically(like the wolves) he’s near unplayable.
Against a team that’s not quite as long and athletic and has some front court guys that still have elements it also school half court offense in their game, you can get away with playing Niang as long as his shot is falling
When he's hitting the 3 it forces defenders to close hard on him which opens up the drive off a pump fake and a finish with that deadly floater. It's pick your poison.Good observation.

Has Mook been talking to JR Smith?I wasn’t expecting this but Garland did have a good game. Perhaps him guarding Maxey at times and did probably his best game guarding him than before. I would have liked to give it to Mobley.
