they have the shooters, their half court offense is just mediocre as hell and they're literally at the bottom of the league in efficiency there. they just live in transition and put back points cause if ja doesnt finish he already collapsed defenses. you take care of the ball and dont get live ball turnovers and get good looks they cant get out and run. wolves would have been up 15 at the half if they had half the turnovers they had to that point.
ja tries to play like giannis 3 years ago while being 6'2 instead of 6'11. he needs a reliable dribble pull up cause its predictable as hell what he's about to do.
their biggest advantage on the glass will get mitigated if kat is out here balling like this and running steven adams to the bench in favor of running JJJ at the 5.
i think memphis is the better team but the wolves are not a good match up for them

This just isn't true. Memphis barely has any shooters outside of Bane. He needs some shooters to pass to when he's getting into the lane every play.
:dead: @ Ja not being a playmaker. :russ: Coli come NBA playoffs is a goldmine.

Their half court offense is better when Ja is off the court though, is it not?

All the hoop experts before the series - Minny is a tough matchup because KAT gives Adams that work and plays him off the floor.

Random nikkas - Adams is gonna punk Kat,Grizz in 5.

it still could be Grizz in 5 but still, this was the matchup issue for them

i know he was a RFA and they didn't want to pay him, but they should've kept grayson allen. he signed for only 2/20M w/ milwaukee. 10M/year is a bargain for a double digit scoring 40+% 3 pt shooter especially when you see what guys like kennard, harris, robinson, etc are making. not to mention he's a better athlete and defender than all those guys. melton is a nice piece defensively, but he's small and can't shoot. ja running next to bane/allen would've been more free lanes to the basket all day.
