Tired of teams not guarding him and jumpers hitting the front of the rim. Plus he got a technical last night. He didn’t get back in after that.
I wouldn’t read too much of the good play without PJ yet. I think Pn can get some of the same benefits of the new improved ball movement. I hope PJ doesn’t try to go coast to coast now though. Give the ball up. You may get it back. His role on offense is take open threes, crash the boards and score in the paint. He gets in trouble when he tries to do too much on offense. The shoulder bully drives work at times but they also create a lot of turnovers. Especially against good defenses.
It will be nice to get PJ back.
I'm also wondering about the general weirdness of injuries forcing our players to play their natural positions. AD at center, Flagg at PF (and other places), Naji is hard to actually assign a position to anyway. Everybody looks so comfortable.
Maybe this where you can have a little talk with AD.
