What are you talking about? Snell is not the worst defender on the team, he's the best defender.

I respected your opinion as someone who understands something but this post demands an explanation. Do you really think Snell is the worst defender on the team? By watching the games? Your credibility is on the line

I'm sure forum members' opinions on his credibility is right at the top of his concerns...

lol. my credibility? Over your thoughts about my opinions about our 11th man? alright then.

go re-watch the start of the fourth quarter from the denver game and get back to me. He blew coverages on like the first five consecutive possessions and they scored on four of them. dude ball watches more than anyone else on this team and has no business being on the floor unless we set up a play for an open corner three. Too bad we don't have taller wings or he wouldn't see a second of PT.

I didn't watch the 4th quarter of that game, maybe he played with a bad lineup, but every time I watched him he was the best defender on the team, better than Nance and Nurkic, much better than Roco.
I'm disappointed in you for not seeing it but I guess its been very little playing time so far, you'll see it as the season goes forward

 

[illmatic99]

This is bait.

and i fell for it.

 

[Zach Collins Enthusiast]

This is bait.

Why is it bait? He said he was the worst defender on the team, whereas if he's not the best he's at least much better than average

 

[Zach Collins Enthusiast]

and i fell for it.

You think you're smarter than me? Well, i respected your basketball knowledge but your comment on Snell's defense might one day make it to my signature

He’s closer to the truth than you are. Snell has always been an average at best defender.

 

[Zach Collins Enthusiast]

No he isn't, he's an excellent defender

 

[Zach Collins Enthusiast]

You think he's in the league for his offense?

 

[Scalma]

No he isn't, he's an excellent defender

Bet you couldn’t prove it

 

[Zach Collins Enthusiast]

Bet you couldn’t prove it

Check out his plus minus numbers, minus the Denver game

 

[Scalma]

You think he's in the league for his offense?

He’s in the league because he can shoot. So tell me, why is an excellent defender that can space the floor having to settle for minimum contracts?

 

[Zach Collins Enthusiast]

Against Toronto: plus 11 in 11 minutes, the highest on the team

 

[Scalma]

Check out his plus minus numbers, minus the Denver game

He literally has the worst BPM on the team and grades out negatively in DPM.

Why did I take the bait FUCK

 

[Zach Collins Enthusiast]

Against Houston: plus 13 in 11 minutes, 3rd highest on the team

 

[Zach Collins Enthusiast]

Against Phoenix, in a 10 point loss, hè played just 8 minutes and had by far the best plus minus on the team at +6

 

[Zach Collins Enthusiast]

I think I've proven my point

 

[Fairly-Hard]

He literally has the worst BPM on the team and grades out negatively in DPM.

Why did I take the bait FUCK

He got two with one cast. Pretty impressive really.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

It's like swish3?

 

[Strenuus]

We have found snell3.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

You think he's in the league for his offense?

Now we know he's baiting!

 

[Buffalo Custard]

Now we know he's baiting!

He is a master!

NBA.com ranks GTJ third on DPOY ladder today.

 

[James lamphear]

Why did I take the bait FUCK

He got a -0.2 in his DPM and CJ and Dame and Simons has worst. Now the reason for his his BPM so bad because of his offense rating no his defense.

 

[1 Eye Jack]

Toronto sure has a really good squad. Their defense was playoff level, good win against a dog of a defense. Officials let a lot go think it made our guys raise their level of play. Great win

Watch those two clips and check the crowd reaction. The Crowd is not the same any longer.

the crowd's enthusiasm has been muted by 10 years of Olshey mediocrity....?
