On seeing Joel bounce back…
It didn’t surprise anybody. The way that they defended him in Toronto, along with Marc Gasol, was effective on that night. Sacramento came at Joel and double-teamed him, and everybody else, as often as they could. We did and he did a pretty good job of playing out of the post and finding open shooters. In reality, we missed open threes and he did a great job of passing. For him to come out the way that he did, it shouldn’t surprise anybody.
When he can get his feet set, and he has proper footwork, he looks good and balanced.
