He raised some interesting questions...

Do the Pelicans know what they are doing with Zion? It seems like they are trying to straddle the line between playing him and not. Ofcourse caution is important but And if losing weight was the priority for Zion it doesn't seem like he accomplished that goal. Is it "Burst" Management or "Bust" Management

?

I didn't think anybody had a worse starting lineup in this bubble than the Wizards

then I see the Nets

the blazers need the win. we need the curse for one more game. summon all your powers of disappointment and make it happen.

the fake crowd noise got serious today

the nets are trying to tank for the lottery i think

HEZI · Post #1873 » by **HEZI** » Sun Aug 2, 2020 7:52 pm

Why would you start Collins when the Celtics are small? Trent Jr. was balling last game and not only does he not start against a Cs team with 3 combo forwards, you bring Mario Hezonja off the bench first?

Stotts is making some questionable decisions

I'm not sure what I want to see more, Bucks embarrassing them in the 1st round or Wizards stealing their playoff spot

the melo curse is working on melo himself it seems. i should have thought of that. total backfire.

Miscalculation on my error. Whoops :lol:

The curse seems to be working on Tatum though

god shammgod · Post #1878 » by **god shammgod** » Sun Aug 2, 2020 8:00 pm

big lineups just hardly ever work in the modern game

HEZI · Post #1879 » by **HEZI** » Sun Aug 2, 2020 8:02 pm

Trent instant impact. He should be starting

Hezonja is so trash

I'd rather see the Bucks stomp them because knowing our luck they'd probably win the lottery
