He is playing better. He was warmed over especially right after he lost out to Mills.
I thought he was excellent tonight for the most part. He shot when open and showed off some nifty moves on drives. He continues to be a strong defender, especially covering the roll man in the PnR. Looked like a starting two-guard.
He didn't keep the pedal to the medal the whole game, however. That led to him passing up some scoring opportunities (which made Pop only play him situationally), and he checked out on the Wall scores at the end of the first OT.
He was probably fatigued. But tonight showed why Pop still believes in him. If he can reinforce the good and remove the bad, he'll be a of a player.
He played with confidence tonight, and tge results were positive. He's a rhythm player that needs to be aggressive and confident with his decision-making in order to be effective. Good game tonight in Tony's absence from the entire backcourt, including young Mr. Joseph.
Cojo aint nothin' but a old saw buck
Stuffed stats in garbage time, but he played well. He had a fine offensive game, only one outside of Green and De Colo who could make things happen. He has tremendous upside.
It's much easier for CoJo to play well when the big 3 aren't around. He doesn't feel like he has to defer and actually attacks. He just becomes useless on a regular rotation.
His man to man D is also pretty good, but it's amazing the amount of brain farts he makes rotating on plays. You would think after a long stint with the Toros and almost two seasons with the Spurs, he would have a better grasp.
that may be a stretch, i like him too and think he can develop nicely in the right situation, but mike conley is his ceiling.
Mike Conley is a top-10 PG and just about the most diverse one in the game. If Joseph were to reach that level, he'd be the PG of the future.
ceilings are unlikely to be reached.
Said it better than I could.
CJ reminds me a lot of Boris Diaw. He plays so soft and unconfident the vast majority of the time and it makes him look like a fringe NBA player. But when he's focused and playing with confidence, he is a very, very serviceable back up PG in the NBA. The funniest thing about it is he only plays confident in the biggest moments (playoffs last year, this year). It's like he hates the regular season and only wants to play in the playoffs.
He goes from hunchback to standing tall in the post season.
This got african Ibaka got posterized twice in the Finals.
God, I ing hate watching him play basketball, tbh..
He's a more talented Jacque Vaughn, he would be fine in the era of Spurs/Pistons grind-out basketball, but he's painful to watch in today's era of basketball..
Mills would've made the shots he passed up in OT
Hurry back, MVPatty.
Is a beast.
13/4/4 in the last 5 games
He played Zach Lavine... That guy makes Nash seem like The Glove
Do you guys think CoJo will be back as a Spur next season?
He is becoming like a Reggie Jackson Lite
No, he won't. Spurs will prolly dangle him out at the deadline for a backup 3/small ball 4. He definitely belongs in the NBA, however.
Doubt it. Spurs need someone to play behind Enrique and MVPatty. Corey incredibly worse than either of those players and will be looking to get actual playing time.
Shoutout to Robdiaz, Cojo really is a basketball player
Cory's playing better and better. Keep it up Cory.
Keep playing your ass off on defense and keep working to improve on offense.
