Brief In-Game Notes

• Oh man, Our Guy Juanito went up large to throw down, then adjusted beautifully on the bump. CLE had picked on Juanito with a switch/post up from Jarrett Allen a couple plays back. Allen walked all over him in a way that Dray would not have allowed.

• Juanito swallows up Kevin Love ... good to see that post D.

• I have limited hopes for Poole. I want him to be a steady PG, make some plays off the dribble and be average from 3. If he can be a volume scorer, I’m okay with that.

• OUR GUY JUANITO. So great to see the guy most committed to running the offense and getting other people shots... getting an unusual number of shot

• I think part of it is that JTA almost never takes a 3 unless he’s completely wide open and can wind up a slightly odd form. That last 3 from the corner he took contested and it looked bad

• YEEEEEEEEEEAH another open 3 from JTA

• Have I used up my quota of doing videos on Our Guy Juanito? I kind of went nuts in February

• There is lots of time to blow this, and Wiggs, Steph and Dray did their best to throw for a minute

• Our Guy Juanito truly embodies Kerr’s “Stay Ready” mantra. Which is only necessary because Kerr utterly takes him for granted, but hey

• Oooooooooh I was ready to go wild for that Nico-GP2 connection
