Do you? They were 27-26 without him and 15-14 with him. They’re a .500 by all accounts.
He wasn't back up to speed.
Seeing how he....missed half a year.
I don't think that is a fair comparison.
I don’t think it’s fair to just assume they’re a good team. That front court fit is still very awkward.
I haven't asked you to make that assumption.
I said we have to allow them a fair chance to find out.
And as for being a poor fit, I don't really see how. Kat is as stretchy as a 4 can get, and Gobert is mired in the paint.
That doesn't seem to be a bad combination.
They’re a bad combination on defence because KAT is too slow to defend the perimeter
You have no idea.
Maybe so.
But to say that definitively is nonsense.
Well we certainly have some idea lol. KAT is a great offensive player but he’s never been that good of a defender and he’s now defending out of position. It’s perfectly reasonable to say they won’t fit defensively until proven otherwise, just like it’s reasonable for you to say that they will fit offensively. Not sure how it’s fair for you to make assumptions but not me.
How is he out of position?
What 4 cant he guard?
He is an apathetic defender. I grant that.
But physically, there is no 4 that he can't guard.
