DDV is looking like another reason why we don’t need to trade for Donovan Mitchel.
When Julius goes to his strong (left hand) with either a strong running hook or spins into that shot to his strong hand it provides such a balance vs when he settles for his fade away to his right.
When he goes forcefully to his left 4-5 times a game he is a load - plus when using his right hand it’s always a the hoop — not step backing a 3.

Our point differential says we our better than our record. Id feel better had we beat Boston once. If Porzingis stays healthy Boston will be tought to beat. I'd bet on him getting hurt at some point.

at some point? probably, most NBA players do, it's a long season. but all that matters is he's healthy for playoffs.

I remember during the "we here" season he had a baseline turnaround that became a go-to move. What happened to that shot? Could he pull it off from either baseline? I don't remember. It was a difficult-looking shot but he was automatic with it for a while
Loving these blowouts! Big Ragu is going to be a good replacement when Grimes get's traded later this season as I expect. He pretty much does everything Grimes does but better. Brunson back to back 32 point games. That 3pt shot is money right now. Rob is playing at a historic level. We haven't seen rebounding like this since Rodman. I'm interested to see how Rob does later this week against Bam. I think that match up was a huge reason we lost that series. Bam kicked Rob's ass. Let's see if Rob has closed the gap there. Good to have RJ back! He was rusty but good to see him back!

While it may have been different since there was no RJ, I actually do concur with this statement.
Dante may not get 25 with RJ in there, but if RJ gets his 22 and DD can get around the 15 Grimes should get....The shots and opportunity are there.
Breakdown from the other side
