Bucking the Trend - 7pm PDT

[superunknown]

Klay Kuminga proving he’s a star.

why downplaying the guy? a superstar.

[wraith985]

lmao, the most ethical free throws that i ever did see

[AirP.]

I am exceedingly optimistic and have no doubt they should pay him. He's already made massive improvements with the ball in his hands this season in regards to pacing and staying in control. But development is always an uneven process. Regardless, the impact Jimmy is making on Kuminga's game is obvious.

So the idea he should be traded just so he can breakout next year or at most the year after? Madness and stupidity.

Do you think he's going to be a ~60% TS% player next year? I don't and that's what you need from a high-volume player if you want to win. Maybe it's worth it to pay him and hope he's ready by the time the max contracts are done in 2 more years.

He will eventually. For instance, Giannis didn't eclipse 60% TS% until his 6th/age 24 season when it took a huge leap to 64% and the Bucks went from a ~.500 team to the top team in the East.

Come on, he was basically 60% TS% (.599 and .598) season 4 and 5 for ages 22 and 23 and was all-nba. Eclipse 60% is you trying to just justify Kuminga, not putting up a real arguement.

Even I can't defend Kuminga tonight, he's absolute dog crap. All over the place and not in a good way. Absolutely NO touch around the rim even when he gets there.

That being said, as dreadful as this 3rd quarter has been, they still got a shot at stealing this game. And the only chance they have is to first stop the damn turnovers.

[AirP.]

Ah... the announcers are noticing that Butler's jumping on those outside shots when he's in scoring mode.

[wraith985]

Himmy is officially in the building. Now to shift worry to what the non-Butler minutes will look like.

No timeout from Doc is a choice after the first 2 minutes, but he gets bailed out by that foul.

Effort? From MY Jimmy Butler?

[superunknown]

the most ridiculous things of the night that now they are double-team dame when yesterday they could not - for once - double-team gordon....

The issue is when he's in this mode there's a higher chance of him being hurt, hence waiting until the playoffs to really go into scorer mode.

podz as offense generator is just bad.

podz as offense generator is just bad.

On this team, to me he's the 4th best option behind Curry, Butler and Draymond.

we missed a PG from the bench, podz is not really cut for that role.

[watch1958]

Don’t think bringing JK in now is a good idea. Fingers crossed.

Kuminga's TS% has been .600, .597 and .598 his prior three seasons so what's your point?

[AirP.]

Kuminga looks to be attacking to pull the defense in to pass and doing a decent job being under control.

To GP2….bad spacing for Kuminga

Nothing, my bad, trade Curry, Draymond and Butler and build around Kuminga.

It's much easier to score efficiently coming off the bench playing against more of the 2nd string units.

[superunknown]

this was not a foul on dame. like the one before. this kind of whistles are a joke, same as the ones SGA usually gets.

GP2 can hit those corner 3s, he's just slow.

[superunknown]
