Without Lassiter, SMB's performance remain the same.
I don't think so. They are not as cohesive and I think the SMB head coach has been experimenting a lot in the first four games of this series. With Lassiter in the line up, SMB may be 3-1 up by now. So you believed Lassiter is the game-changer? lol. You are really a die-hard SMB fan or maybe you believed on that because you have funds that currently at stake in the SMB side.
He is the counterpart of Chris Ross and no way Austria will always put these 2 on the floor at the same time. His disappearance honestly makes Austria thinks of a better lineup since he will not destroy the starters. SMB is not always an unstoppable team like others look at this team for the past conferences.TNT is just playing good. Let's admit that even what's our favorites. Even an SMB fan look at that way.
Not exactly a game-changer but an important piece for SMB. If you take out an important piece in any team, that will be a big deal because they'll have to change their style of play significantly.
I did not know that a simple statement of what could have happened triggered you so much which made you draw a lot of conclusions.
Yes, he is good. No doubt about that. And yes a big loss but not that big. SMB is the most complete team in the PBA that even their bench players are not trash. But even Lassiter is there, it's not an assurance that SMB will now be on 3-1 lead.
It's like saying that TNT is complete trash because they are nothing against SMB if Lassiter is not there.
For sure, even he is there, TNT will found a way to deal with him at any cost.
Funny that you focused on the 3-1 but never saw the word MAY in my original post. That means it is a possible outcome. Since when did may become the equivalent of assurance? It's like saying that TNT is complete trash because they are nothing against SMB if Lassiter is not there.
For sure, even he is there, TNT will found a way to deal with him at any cost.
