I seriously have no idea what you guys are watching making these claims about Kalk.
And ref complaining? In that game? Jesus….
Did you watch the first half?
He came on and played great for about 12 minutes on the second half, thankfully.
Maybe we are all spoiled. We've won all our games against overmatched opponents by large margins. And I still don't think we've played well yet. It feels like this team has another gear that they just haven't gotten to yet.
Watched it, yes. Just fast forwarded through first half again to see if I’m missing anything. I encourage you to do the same thing. What you’ll see is he’s running up and down the court, almost always beating his man and establishing position. He’s challenging nearly every shot in the lane playing outstanding team defense. Forced a few travels and turnovers with his presence. Continued his clinic-like box outs. His guy never got an offensive rebound that I saw. In the half court set, set a bunch of screens and ran the offense. Missed a few shots he probably shouldn’t have.
If you want to say he could have played better, fine. But I think it’s insulting and contrary to what the tape shows when people are claiming he’s disinterested or physically ailing.
Maybe you’re right and we are spoiled.
That was Trey’s worst game in quite some time. Can’t it just be a bad game instead of questioning his passion or claiming he has legionnaires disease? This probably bothers me more than it should, but the “disinterested” jab at Kalk is very unfair, insulting and not supported by anything you see on the tape if you’re really watching. (And I know you didn’t use that word)
