Jake LaRavia Discussion: Lah-Rave-E-Ya!

Lol...JJ is just winging it, as he's going along folks! Whatever it takes, to get to 50 wins. I'm pretty sure that his line of reasoning is..." If I bomb again in the Playoffs...that will be negated by back to back 50 win seasons!!"

He's most likely right too. That presents an interesting paradox..we have enough talent, to win 50 games in the toughest Conference in the League. However we are soo devoid of talent, that we can't win a playoff series!

 

Rui should watch tape of Jake..

Hustles every play defensively, battles for rebounds, and gets his opportunities by just moving around and being active.

Rui is just too stationary so he doesn't get enough shots being so inactive.

 

I like Jake overall activity but he has been scared to shoot the ball lately

 

lol, for good reason...

but regarding Astros's comment: it's easy to be like "well, if you combine player X and player Y they're superstar Z!", but what they're referring to here is stuff in rui's control. this isn't like, give vando luka's eye-hand coordination or give luka vando's lateral speed. rui could, you know, move around more and find that the ball finds him and he finds the ball.
