what's Mozgrov's salary, how much does he get paid to can't even catch a basketball?
3M.
I missed game, but it seems Gallo's ft shooting as a big who can catch n shoot and drive, and proclivity to bust out deep in close or would-be close games could have helped. But maybe not...
I'm not too miffed about Turiaf minutes. More conventional to have given the big man more time? Yes. Also more likely we just lose more conventionally.
We are an inferior team. Just as we are to Bos, etc. We are 'supposed' to lose. We don't, or have our best chance in theory, by doing the one thing we smother and do better than an otherwise better team --run n gun, shoot.
And hope it can be so powerful it overshadows on given nights being an inferior, worse-built, less-complete squad.
We are a relevant winning squad, dangerous to all, bc of our offense...shooting...unique ability and propensity to run n gun. Is thst the same as saying "bc of Mike D'antoni"?
The transition to the highest echelon will require superior defense and utilization of size. But this is principally a personel matter bat this pt, and grasping at straws with D'ant while his game is truly the hand that feeds and is feeding...is too zealous n premature. Not that I'd be stunned if we had quality players with size/D who D'ant misused...but we don't right now.
AR, moz, curry, darko and co. are cumulative junk. Obv ar/moz should be groomed or in ar's case, rehab'd.
Turiaf alone dispels myth of D'ant not giving bigs burn. He's but a quality veteran big. A good role player, hustle gut. Yet he bas been made instrumental throughout the season.
