Also they're managing his play time so he can play all 82. They just can't wait until the game ends haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Assistant coaches are about to get days off for load management soon. In all seriousness though, I’ll take Charlotte limiting him to 28-32 mpg if that will keep him healthy for the last 6 weeks. Dude has been money so far. No one outside of the top 24 beasts for 82 games. Everyone has good and bad stretches for the season. For someone you (the general “you”, not you specifically) probably got at the end of a draft or for free off waivers, he’s killing it. I highly doubt there are players that are available on waivers that are better than him if the league is competitive even slightly.

DezedandConfused 2,558 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Welcome back Batum, someone that passes to PJ lol. That lob alleyoop from inbound play tho 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sham242 32 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Batum really helped him last night and is a plus for his game moving forward. He consistently gave him the ball in the post on the pick and roll switch. I’ve seem so many times in previous games, where he would have the mismatch in the post and wouldn’t receive the ball at all. Literally pleading for the ball. He’s only going to get better and killing already. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Despite the hate Batum gets, he's still a smart veteran that knows how to make the right play, unlike certain other Kobe wannabes on the team. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think Miles won’t be this marginalized in future games. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Youth movement is pretty clear so you shouldn't really be worried. Maybe some games Borrego goes with the hot hand to get some wins here and there but overall his role seems very secure. And he looks much better than Bridges. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He’s only going to get better and killing already. I thought Batum coming back might be a negative, but I forgot how great of a passer he is as a forward. The inbounds play where Batum gives him the alley-oop off of a screen was just delicious. Probably means bad things for Miles Bridges owners (lol like me) but excellent things for Washington owners (also me). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ThisIsSparta 261 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Foul trouble. The whole team kinda sucked if you think about it too. Oh, and they were fighting the Raptors. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MWon 1,593 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 eh, it was arguably the worst team coming into the season versus the reigning NBA champions (minus Mr Load Management). I'll give him a pass. But man, that was a bad dud, even with the foul trouble. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lifschitz 2,246 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 He was in foul trouble in the first half as well.. so I wouldn’t read into this too much. Toronto is a top notch defensive team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
m1dday 266 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 He also had a lot of good defensive plays against Siakam, plus it was a big blowout. I'm not too worried just yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
