This game was a little choppy for me. I'm not sure why, but maybe because I was focusing on mistakes made. And there were many. I also came up with the idea wondering how many assists Luka would have if some of his team mates would sink the basket. I've always thought that THJ would do better with judicious shot selection...and this game did nothing to allay that thought.
P.J. Washington? I've been sort of underwhelmed by his play in most games. Not sure if his defense should cover for his offense, but it is what it is. In this game his offense wasn't bad. 50% from the floor, 50% on threes. Dirkie Worthy? Don't rush me. I'm still thinking.
Lively is going to be good...IF he keeps improving. And I see no reason why he can't.
Kyrie had a little trouble getting started, but finally did enough to pull out an average game. That's at least what we needed.
Luka had another oh hum, pedestrian night. I'll say it right now--if Luka can stay healthy, takes charge of the team, and becomes the floor general that I think he can be--then he will be the best there ever was. What I'm saying is...he's got a lot more to learn, and more gears to use.
Gafford played nice. Nice enough that he shouldn't deserve some of the things said about him.
OK. I've been thinking. I'm giving my Dirkie to P.J. Washington. Sleep with it tonight my young man...
