Now if we ever figured out how to have any movement around him we’d be in business, but that doesn’t seem to be Nurse’s priority who is content on going with iso-Pascal.
Got the start and was…good? No, seriously, he wasn’t a complete trainwreck.
He also is significantly more confident shooting the three and gone are the days where he used to pass up open looks.
Hit a couple threes late in the fourth in the comeback that went nowhere, but man, he was SHUT DOWN by Dort who is a great on-ball defender.
Had the step-back and the side-step working, and didn’t force the issue when help came on the drive.
Just like the rest of the team, he’s active but ineffective in stopping penetration, and prone to not seeing action underneath, leaving passes from opposing PGs easy to pick out.
What’s the point of length if it doesn’t buy you a leg up? This all could be acceptable if we were just good at stopping the three, but even there OKC is lighting us up at 17-40 .
