Poeltl is it.
One of Facil's old trades with the Raptors, who used the #1 they got in the Bargnani heist to select the Austrian born center, later flipping JP and DeRozan for Kawhi
You know...maybe.
I was wondering why Mitch seemed to have a relatively weak game. Just much less of a force.
Was it Poeltl?
I don't think Poeltl punked Mitchell. In fact, MR led the Knicks with a =/- of +9. Only other Knicks who were a +Plus were McBride and Grimes. Even with monster games, Julius was a -2, and IQ a -12. Go figure.
But JP is a big physical type at 7'1" 265. And [AND] he has an inside/outside game, needs to be guarded on the perimeter, can put the ball on the floor and go to the rack.
He has really grown under Pops, good for roughly 1-2 blocks, 3 assists and 10 rebounds a game.
As for last night?
Spurs really took it to the Knicks, who were a step slow all night long, it seemed. We were out rebounded. Spurs were more aggressive in getting to the rack, getting second shots.
THEIR BENCH OUTPLAYED OURS.
Pops with a 10 man rotation.
Thibs with his customary 9.
