Joffrey Lauvergne block watch

he did it!

All of your takes are bad. geesh.

Forbes has been under my critical review for months. In other words, I focus on every single detail of every play that he is involved in. Because his decision-making drives me up a wall. I can't help it.

When it comes to Bryn's defense, HIS DEFENSE IS ATROCIOUS. It's not for lack of effort either - he has plenty of that.

He cannot, and I say this for the umpteenth time, control his momentum. He overcommits his momentum 80% of the time which is why people use it against him.

When he closes out on 3 point shooters, he cannot contain himself and ends up under them. He's been called for fouling 3 point shooters on 9 occasions this season - that might not seem like much but the team as a whole has only done so 17 times. It's frustrating to watch - last night he closed out on Crowder and on Isaiah Thomas, and was lucky not to be called for it.

The technical foul for checking into the game before Danny Green could check out, highlights his focus issues.

Can he shoot? Yes. The other aspects of his game (playmaking, etc...) are still too raw and in full development. But his defense? Ugggh.

Forbes fouled another 3pt shooter tonight . Good thing his shot was falling.

Who gives a . Manu fouls players on fast breaks all the time when they're on the bonus. Fouls happen.

His defense is horrible. Manu's is not.

Good for Joffrey to finally get a single block. Can he get a second? The watch continues.

Anyone see the play at around 9:50 of the second quarter where Joffery is going for an offensive rebound and he's standing there after getting the ball stripped with his arms up in the air yelling for a call. I thought it was pretty funny and sad at the same time. I really feel bad for him. He's just not very good.

I wonder if TP actually watched Lauvergne play at the Eurobasket tournament before recommending him to the front office. He was a big reason for France's defense being much worse. Missing the length of Gobert, Batum, Gelabale and Pietrus obviously played a big part too but Lauvergne being terrible defensively was very evident even at that level of play.

Edit: Looks like I completey forgot when Lauvergne was signed.
