How they handle Anfernee Simons and his P&R coverages — he’s been on a tear

forcing Denver to choose if they want one of those 3 as an outlet if Jokic is at the level. Thoughts? Down the stretch KD started rejecting the ball screen a lot anyway, but something I noticed

@stevejones20.bsky.social Last night Jokic was at the level or seemed like a soft blitz on the KD / Book ball screens and in drop against Beal. I know teams want to put Jokic into action, but felt like PHX could have tapped into having one of KD/Book/Beal as a screener instead of Richards or Plumlee

I mean they were up 10 until the run late in the 4th where Vincent hit 3 threes. They controlled a lot of the second half.

That looks like a multi week ankle injury

I gotta say Luka’s POA defense and just overall instincts have impressed me. Sure there’s moments he might not get back or gets blown by, but there’s been just as many solid moments as negative.

I liked how early LA was getting into their O in the first quarter. Really early, high ball screens on repeat

They have a chance now. They didn’t before. That’s all that matters. Anything can happen in the playoffs.

Final DRTG of 106.3 👍

Needs to get stronger inside and he will with time. If he ever figures that out with his spacing ability, yeesh

And then republicans come in and burn that all to the ground. No one is going to give you a treat for color coordinating, they’ll just kick you out of the chamber

The biggest issue with Democrats is they adhere to rules and guidelines that are largely completely made up in hopes voters will reward them, or that fellow republicans will.

Brutal — he’ll be back around NEXT all star break most likely. I don’t even know where they go from here.

Not having Reaves as an outlet in those situations changed things last night but I thought they were largely ok when the Clippers blitzed

He’s controlling the game better than he ever has. Definitely took a leap

The whole night was maybe the worst product the NBA has put out in years. There just wasn’t enough actual basketball.

This is genuinely shocking by the NBA. Instead of actually trying to make the game more competitive like they said they wanted to, they just threw it out the window and decided to have a 2.5 hour window with as little basketball as possible

POA defense was awful all night. Guys got blown by all night long, rotations in recovery off the drives were bad, too many missed layups on top of that

I’ve noticed all year he hasn’t been comfortable when they do this - doesn’t exploit the mismatch like he used to

Really curious when JK is back if they ever get to Steph-Butler-JK-Draymond-Post starting group

They should have sold everything

And a new meme on top of it

I was wrong - #1 defense! Could change after tonight but story still the same Lol

2nd best net rating the last 10 games with the #2 defense and it’s showing

See ya Kuminga

How do they even make that $ work?

I also think that if a certain player wasn’t on the team anymore or included in the deal he might be slightly more intrigued

Idk if Kuzma is the guy that helps MIL gain anything on defense 🤔

I know he wasn’t himself for the last couple years really, but just getting Kuzma back and also giving up Johnson is a major yikes for me

Will probably wait to see who is actually on the team come end of day Lol
