Emmanuel Mudiay has achieved what many players fail to for their entire career: the fabled “two actually good games in a row”. Not just two okay games, or a good game followed by an okay game, or two good games separated by a bad game, or just a whole big streak of bad games, but two legit good games one right after the other. In sequence. Two of them. Good ones.
22 and 7 with 2 turnovers followed by 25 and 7 with 3 turnovers, both times shooting 50% or better from the field. I cannot even believe it. I thought he was going to suck for forever and ever. Has he turned the corner? I wouldn’t go that far, because I’m a pessimist who hates everything. Maybe he’s turned 10 degrees in the right direction, or even 20. Not a whole corner, though, not until he has a sustained stretch where he only has a few clunkers.
