Our top 4 options in the starting lineup significantly lower their game in crunch time situations (Vuc, Fournier, DJ, Gordon). But we can’t expect them to be good right away. Hopefully they can get through their jitters in time for us to make the playoffs I'd try letting Isaac and AG close it. Instead of Evan or Vooch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully they can get through their jitters in time for us to make the playoffs We have 20 games remaining. It is crucial that we win as many as possible in the first 12 games. 6 out of the last 8 games are on the road against quality opponents. Need to go 8-4 to make it easier during that last stretch. Then we just need to go 4-4 or even 3-5 in the last 8. That will give us 39 or 40 wins which should be enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You notice when JI is involved offensively good things happen. He was during the 5 game winning streak. In the 2 games they lost they kind of went away from him in long stretches. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At this point I’d take that scenario of only deciding it in the last game at Charlotte Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Especially with the game being in their building. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That might be a stretch. If you get a chance check out their remaining schedule and pick the games you think they win and which ones you think they will lose. Would be interested to see your take on things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Iwundu's numbers are kind of fake. He's shutting down crappy bench players but gets burned by good scorers. Edit: I guess crappy bench players is overly harsh. Basically he does good against some starters but his super low percentages are bolstered by shutting down guys like Knox, Trier, Bullock, blakeney, bertans, Darius Miller, Frank Jackson, Torrey Craig etc. Lou Williams has 22 points in only 38 possessions on 4-8 shooting with iwundu defending. JJ hit 4 of 6 threes in only 21 possessions. The big reason we lost that one Brooklyn home game was because Russell scored 11 points in 11 possessions on iwundu. The exceptions to this are Wiggins, and siakam. Iwundu dominated them for some reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
