The problem started when Nix and Martin were guarding the same guy and there was no communication to switch. Then Nix panicked. I don't think there was any one player that singlehandedly caused that lob. Multiple players didn't do their job, it was a team defensive breakdown
Even if Green had stayed near the basket, is he really the guy you want trying to protect the damn rim? You have Eason and Garuba and Sengun...None of which were in the game... Instead you put in Nix????? Should have been a big man near the rim with some damn paint protection instincts...
The problem is though KJ can't leave his man because his man is Bam...and if Nix switches on to Bam they probably still get an easy lob. Nix just had no business being in the game right there. Tari and Garuba should have been in there over Green and Nix.
Inserted Nix Had tallest player (Jabari) guarding the inbound (Nix, Jalen, Tate, Martin, Jabari) Did not protect the lob
I’m thoroughly convinced no one can out tank us. Silas probably gets a bonus on two point losses. They can waive and cut and this and that but no one can out nix us. this dude is a true warrior following orders from the top.
And Silas still ices out sengun in crunch time though he can draw fouls, make plays and is one of the most efficient players. Instead go to green who has a terrible game. Because if you are not playing through sengun, and you cannot draw plays, then you need a hero.
Think about that : You need to defend last 0.7 seconds and fielding defensive expert Daishen "lottery talent" Nix to defend Jimmy Butler.
Silas - keeps KJ Martin in when he was -19 on the floor to finish the game. It wasn't KJ's night and we had other options with Eason and Garuba who both were positive and clearly contributing. We win this game had he simply recognized the degree KJ was struggling tonight. Just Terrible.
We ran into a titanic battle of giants tonight! We had Frank the "Anti-Tank" generating good vibes all night from the light side but in the end the evil emperor Silas said..."Young Padawan you are no match for the dark side of the farce!" (I mean force) "I have ways to lose you have not even BEGUN to fathom!" Heck of an effort though Frank! Mad props.
Nah. This is not bio engineering This is a basketball game We need a real coach before we write off the team and individual players
Green tied the game. you can't let a guy like Sengun take the last plays, that is not his style of play.
My biggest gripe with Silas is he sticks with the bench lineups too long, he starts subbin mid 1st and doesn’t bring starters back til 6-7 min 2nd qtr …. Kills hot players … leave them out there til they miss 2-3 shots or ask to come out
