If someone wants to say Ausar is just as good or even slightly better than Amen defensively thats cool.....but Amen is miles ahead of Ausar offensively which is saying a lot because neither one of them can shoot


Amen way better at getting to the rim and finishing, dribbling and playmaking, Ausuar shoots like 57% from the freethrow line, Amen shoots 79%.....just overall a way more confident player on that side of the court

I agree that Amen is ahead of Ausar offensively. I wish he was as aggressive attacking the basket like Amen. However I think Ausar is a superior defensive player. The nigga teleports passing lanes like NightCrawler from X-men. His footwork and hand coordination are impeccable. Mitchell has not scored on Ausar this series if I recall correctly. Nigga stuffs 7footer’s shots, Duren big ass don’t even do that. He is the NBA version of Revis Island

Mfs been flopping forever. Nothing refs can really do. That shit is hard to catch in real time. Harden, jokic and bron be doing egregious shit tho.

That's why sga tough tho. No flailing or any of that bullshit he's tracking body movements and literally hunting opponents limbs out there. Forcing the call. There's levels.

NBA claimed that they were going to start calling fouls on flops. The shit Harden been doing is blatant as hell IN FRONT of the refs. Call that shit and offensive foul for flopping and I bet he reconsiders doing it all game

Im with you. Its just easier to catch on tv and in replays than it is in real time on court with multiple things going on. You gotta give the refs some grace. It is what it is. They definitely should be giving out techs for some of that shit if they catch it tho.

100%

Use the rules against them. Bait the defender to doing something and draw the foul. I like all that.

This shit I seen from Harden though, if it can't be caught in real time, league need to retroactively fine for this shit.

The money don't matter. They make too much. I'm ok with that. Fine them $500. The point would be to shame them with the announcing of flopping fines.

Idk if that'll stop it, but I hope it does a little bit.

That shit Harden did when all Cade did was put his hands on him is wild.

Embiid was doing the same shit.

I need them to start controlling it.

I don't have the answers but the NBA pays people a good grip to come up with the answers.

And I'm gonna @southsil4lil to this.

Amen is the better overall player, but Ausar scares me to play against.

I'm not gonna say some wild hyperbolic shit like Ausar is the best defender I ever seen or some dumb shit like that.

What I will say though is the Cavs are playing against Ausar in a way I never seen. Ausar is like a elite free safety in football.

The Cavs barely even the pass the ball to the side of the court Ausar is in.

Amen is better offensively. Can't be argue. But I think Ausar impacts the game more.

One thing that can help is the officials need to get in better angles to see the play from feet to head

Most of the calls happen cause the official is calling the reaction to the play instead of officiating the actual infraction
 
And for the niggas who thought we weren’t going to return the favor of posting up in their Arena

I see what you're saying...but I also think its some factors you arent considering

Amen has a higher usage and is asked to do way more than Ausar while being a more efficient player and also leading the league in minutes....Ausar played 24 minutes last night and routinely gets benched in stretches of games.

Amen giving you 18 points a game..Ausar might give you 10 and the most minutes per game game he's avenged is 26.

Ausar also don't have to cover for poor defenders like Reed and Sengun....the worst defender he plays with Duncan Robinson and he's actually been solid for Detroit

Like I said Ausar is better defensively but its close.......Amen is way better offensively than Ausar and isnt the same type of liability



Not hating on Twin because Im obviously a huge fan of both but to say Ausar impacts the game more when Amen does it on both ends of the court is something I disagree with

How would the knicks and cavs play game 1 Sunday if cavs and Pistons still have to play gm7 on Sunday?

2 things happened. This is either fake for engagement or espn/ABC had multiple promos on the ready in case the cavs won game 6 and this one got used by accident.

Accident probably but you know people and their conspiracy theories
