Not trying to slander Jimmy, he’s exceeded all expectations that I and everyone else had when he came here. It just seems like this season he is having a noticeable difficulty getting past defenders and also seems to be getting beat more often on defense now, compared to past seasons.
He looked quick against the lakers
Hes just punching the time card until February
It’s odd people don’t understand this fact, like literally if Jimmy isn’t 100% throughout the playoffs this team has zero chance
Its also for the best. If Jimmy has to put on the cape and save the team every time it looks ugly then no one else will ever grow. For Bam to become who we think he can be, for Tyler to become who we think he can be–they need to drive during the regular season and Jimmy needs to chill in the passenger seat getting just 15-20 per game.
I think he’s just slowly ramping up.
He’s just disinterested at the moment. Let’s see now that Tyler went down.
I have to say my favorite thing about observing jimmy’s play style is he uses the absolute least/optimal amount of energy to accomplish what he’s looking to for each play.
No unnecessary jumping for getting a rebound; he’ll time it just right. no random accelerated sprinting - he’ll slow down asap if he doesn’t need to be running. the effort expended and his calibration is so deliberate and purposeful. Really kind of beautiful to watch.
