His defense has not been as impactful. I thought Maxi battled pretty well on the glass. AD was allowed to get away with murder last night. There was one play where he went over Luka’s back, shoved someone off to collect the rebound and then they called a foul on a Dallas player when he went up. He played well. But they allowed him to push and hold on nearly every rebound it seemed.
I will say this...in the Bubble playoffs...when Dallas needed defense late and rebounds late...Maxi showed up. So I dont know if situationally, like late game Playoffs, if we need boards Maxi is told to crash harder than rest of game? Maybe normal scheme doesnt have him crashing as hard?
Its just disappointing that we have a spry, quick footed 6'10 guy that cant procure boards. Or...1 in 21 minutes last night.
Maybe I am overreacting to one game.
DJJ' play seems fine with me for the most part. Its just odd the two times I randomly check box scores in past two weeks there were huge issues with DJJ's +/-. They both jumped out at me. Enough to make a post about.
