I assume Vando isn’t playing?

I assume Vando isn’t playing?

Someone in chat was like we going to put Jackson Hayes on jokic and everybody started laughing

but my question is how come teams don't implement the 6 fouls thing and just throw bench players at the opposing team's best player to muck up the game? That could at least get them out of rhythm and make them get their points at the line. Why doesn't that strategy happen more ofter? Is it unethical? Bush league?

Because that’s just going to put your team in the bonus way too early

Also it’s not 2002 anymore

Niggas is skilled

Imagine Jokic getting fouled and actually getting into a rhythm just from seeing the ball go into the hoop AND resting from shooting FTs
