Pretty much everyone, including Dirk, has to figure out how to play through the little bumps that will occur. It’s especially true of bigs. The bias of refs against what a foul on a big as opposed to the smalls is pretty well established in the NBA. I wish they would call it more for KP’s sake cause in all honesty, he’s really only a tall, not a big.(12-08-2019, 03:19 PM)ItsGoTime Wrote:(12-08-2019, 02:55 PM)Jym Wrote: Should avoid isolated postups until he's strongerGood point in the post. I wonder how your changes would affect winning. The point I’ll make is that KP looks as though he loses control of the ball everytime he does anything around defenders. A little hip check and the ball is fumbled, a less callable swipe on the arm and the ball goes flying. I think it’s a combination of strength, coordination and confidence. All things that will come to him with time. He already gets plenty of touches, and high quality shots, I think we’re getting closer to most of them converting. I at least really hope we are.
Boban also often looks like he is fumbling it away. I think they are so big they don't get a lot of fouls called. Some throw aways look way to rediculous to think there wasn't a foul involved.
What do you think?
