Well if he shot the same percentage from foul line as he does from the Mid range he would be beyond terrible free throw shooter.

Celtics centers (Horford, Kornet and Tillman) played 31 minutes in the first half with 1 rebound combined

That has to be better

Zoya was wrong, we need more centers out there. Pity Queta and KP aren't available or we could fix the issue by putting all 5 on the court and have 4 of them watch Queta gobble them all up before he fouls out in 5 min.

With the star power the Suns have, you'd think they'd be one of the top 3 teams in the west.

But because they're not good defensively, they're just top 6 or 7 in the west.

In this game, the Cs keep attacking them one on one because the Cs are having success 1 on 1.

Meh. The whole Jaylen discourse is boring. Dude has been improving this year on his weaknesses, been playing pretty well lately and he's wearing a Celts jersey, I prefer to support him.


It’s only really 2 particular members that would rather see Jaylen fail than succeed.

JB only 1 turnover so far.

Really starting to look like a legit 300m dollar man.

I had my doubts about JB early in the season, but he found his comfort zone the last couple of months.

Apparently more attacking the rim and less 3pt shots was the solution for JB.

One reason why I said I like Zack Edey in the draft thread..

Suns will not get to the finals if this is the kind of defense they have.

I've got no problem with you mate, but if I'm being honest I don't get why you bother with all the posts about them.

I like a lot of your posts and some of your bball insights are good, your posts would be even better without talking about them all the time, that kinda stuff also gets old. They're entitled to feel the way they do and their posts on the subject speak for themselves.

Anyway, I hope you take this post in the manner is was intended, as polite and well meaning. :)

I mean, does anyone think that's a serious possibility? Beyond defense this team is flawed across the board.
