Juancho Hernangmez put an end to a convulsive summer (injury, conflict with the Timberwolves that they did not let him participate in the Olympic Games…) with his arrival at the Boston Celtics. Green shoots in the future from the eaves that became the pfirst player born in Spain to wear the legendary shirt of the Massachusetts team. A brilliant opportunity for a Juancho who seemed to fit what Udoka needed coming off the bench and offered a profile that the Celtics did not have in their ranks.
At least that’s how it was in theory, because practice has shown the opposite. Juancho Hernangmez has not caught the eye of the new Celtics coach and has been showing it throughout the season. Juancho has barely participated in 18 games of the 42 that the Celtics have played this season with only 96 minutes on the court (5.3 on average). And the situation shows no sign of improving.
Juancho (1.1 points, 1.4 rebounds and 18.5% shooting from the field) ya he does not even dispute the minutes of the matches that are already decided as happened against the Indiana Pacers (100-119 for the Celtics), when Udoka left the Spaniard as the only unused player on his squad. One more proof of how little he has of him.
Faced with this future, the appearance on the horizon of a team like Real Madrid seems the best option for a Juancho Hernangmez who hasn’t quite found his place in the NBA and when he has had it (Denver or Minnesota) he hasn’t found continuity due to injuries. Now, with the possibility of returning to a leading team in Europe, a new path is opened for a train that Juancho should not miss once he has fulfilled his dream of playing in the NBA.
The Knicks have found a vein in a RJ Barrett that begins to justify the fame with which he came from the NCAA, where he aimed to become one of the future stars of the league. And little by little he is getting it. The Canadian player again showed that he is sweet and signed his second consecutive game above 30 points (32) being the youngest player in Knicks history to achieve this milestone. In addition, he was also decisive in defense, leave Doncic in a two of eight in field goals while he took care of her defense.
A new day in which the Spanish players are left without prominence in the NBA day. In addition to the ostracism Juancho Hernangmez suffers in Boston, Usman Garuba did not have time on the court in the Rockets victory in the Texas derby against the Spurs (128-124)
The Ricky Rubio injury you in black the future of Cleveland Cavaliers, who however are knowing how to hold onto the wire thanks to players like Evan Mobley (15+10) and above all, Darius Garland. The point guard has taken over from LeBron James and has become the second player in the Ohio franchise to achieve a triple-double (11+10+15) in just three quarters.
RESULTS OF THE NBA DAY
- Pacers 100-119 Celtics
- 76ers 98-109 Hornets
- Wizards 112-106 Magic
- Hawks 91-115 Heat
- Knicks 108-85 Mavericks
- Spurs 124-128 Rockets
- Jazz 91-111 Cavaliers
- Bulls 112-138 Nets
- Kings 125-116 Lakers
There are no more words that can define LeBron James…and to explain the frustration you must feel every time you walk into the locker room. The crack of the Lakers signed a new great match against the Sacramento Kings with 34 points, seven rebounds and six assists. The small forward leads the NBA with 19 games above 30 points, a figure he has reached in 11 of his last 12 games. However, that score by ‘King’ James means nothing to the Los Angeles team, which has lost 9 of those 19 games.
The Utah Jazz They are going through a small bump in recent games and are far from showing the image of a solvent team that we are used to seeing. Especially in defense as it happened in the loss against the Cavaliers (91-111) in which the Salt Lake City team again missed Rudy Gobert. Without the Frenchman the balance is one win and four losses and the Jazz are the team with the worst defensive rating in those five games.
New night to forget Russell Westbrook. And that’s it… The point guard is not going through his best moment facing the rival hoop and against the Kings (125-116 for Sacramento) suffered an offensive collapse again after scoring only eight points in 37 minutes with a two of nine shooting from the field. The base accumulates a poor 20% in the last three games played.
The Brooklyn Nets hit the table with a merit win over the Chicago Bulls, which arrived very raised like the roosters of the East. However, with his Big Three at full throttle (the game was played in Chicago) the New Yorkers fought the Bulls with a spectacular third quarter (+20 on that partial) in which Durant scored 17 points for his best score in a quarter this season.
