I'm a reformed Powell hater. Luka said it best, "this is a guy you have to have on the team"
On a side note, holy shit our bigs can't catch a pass in the PnR. Even Jeff Van Gundy said something about it. Outside of Powell, who had a career game and stepped up more than he ever has, no one else operated out of the PnR well *Ahem looking at you WCS*
Further, THJ nearly killed us tonight. I don't know what has gotten into him but the last month and a half he's barely looked like a rotation player. His decision making was almost as bad as his shooting. Thank goodness we have JJ Redick.
One things for certain, this team NEEDS Porzingis. Without him, teams can double Luka at will and make DFS/Maxi/THJ/Powell beat them. Tonight it worked but I can't say for certain it will ever work again.
This game made me think this team desperately needs a guy that can roll hard and catch a pass inside no matter what. The John Collins rumors make a lot of sense now even if his fit with KP isn't perfect.
*(I cannot guarantee how long before I relapse on my Powell hatred)
