Agree with ya. I’ve watched ever single game this year except one. They are a night and day different team with Akoh. Akoh is the biggest reason they are so good. He’s also the biggest reason they can be so bad....when he’s on the bench.
I’ve watched every game, too, and you may not be wrong, but that doesn’t mean you’re right. At least not yet. We will know more in 24hrs.
Good gracious egriz, have a little faith. We may still have the most overall talent and depth in the league and I believe we just beat our biggest challenge without JA. Obviously going to get a lot harder but a lot of you sound like you’ve thrown in the f***[*] towel.
Xmas miracle.
Biggest reason they are so good/bad.
Come on; gimme a break
I know enough about hoops, what decuire has said about Akoh and his presence, what the drop off is when Akoh is out, what the team looks like when Akoh is on the bench, and that dominant Bigs are like Sasquatch in the Big Sky, damn near non existent....and if you want to win it all you need one. If he is truly out, then yes it will take Decuire’s finest work to get them to the dance. Not impossible and plenty of talent, but without Akoh it’s night and day. If TD can get there, give that guy a 20 year extension and whatever $ he needs.
If you know TD so well than you should know that if you asked him, what’s the “biggest reason [you guys] are so good,” I can guarantee you his answer would not be Akoh. It would not be any individual, ever, because— he don’t play like that—literally! He’d say, “TEAM!” All day.
Look, all I’m saying is give it 24 hrs before you start cutting. Yes we lost possibly the biggest margin at any position in the BSC, but I’m not convinced our margins at other positions and the bench cannot win yet. If they get smashed tomorrow, you can molotov the Adams Center, and you won’t hear from me, at least for a bit
