Around the League: 2023-24 Season

[mjkvol]

Luka and Booker dropping around 40pts in the first half tonight. I wonder how many pts they’ll end up with

70 and 60 right now with a couple of minutes left. Both games are very competitive as well, so the scoring was done in the flow of the games.

Some of those shots Luka is making is ridiculous. I like how he’s being compared to Magic Johnson in terms of entertainment level. Such a joy to watch him play.

It really is, and that's an interesting comparison.

The Suns blew a lead down the stretch to lose in Indy.

It’s very funny that Booker got upstage by Luka & lost the game. Poor guy just cannot avoid being owned by Luka, even when they’re not playing each other.

Giannis’ free throw routine is one of the most incomprehensible things to me. You’d think a player who shoots so poorly would want to minimize the amount of mental pressure on himself at the line. Instead, he makes himself into a spectacle & has to contend with a potential 10-second violation.

Seriously.... He should adopt the Westbrook mindset. Clear your head. Dribble and throw it up there. I think he needs to create a routine so quick that removes thinking about it at all. He should have conversations while practicing the shot.

He'd make a good backup PG!

It's amazing that the Bucks haven't hired someone that could teach him a short, simple, easily repeatable routine, which is the key to good FT shooting, the same way with putting in golf. Like you said, he makes the whole thing a spectacle, with everyone watching the clock. For a great player who gets to the line often, it is ridiculous.

The Lakers have shot 233 more free throws than their opponents this year. Far and away ahead of the 2nd place team, the New York Knicks... Oddly, the Lakers are dead last in drives to the basket.

If he comes attached to Mikal Bridges, sure.

If someone is offering a massive unprotected pick package to Brooklyn for Bridges, they've gotta take it.

Same...Sadly, he's a good fit with Tyrese Maxey. Could slot him between Maxey/Melton. It wont happen and I'll get charred for suggesting it, but I would take Simmons back if Cam Johnson or DFS came with him.

Coby White has come to life. Hand the keys over and get rid of DeRozan and LaVine. Start the rebuild

That’s what most Bulls fans want to do. But White’s also not (IMO) a sufficiently good player to be the main building block of any great team. Good, not dominant, and not super consistent. Still young of course. But White, Caruso, Ayo, Pat Williams… it’s not overwhelmingly exciting. Nonetheless, it would seem much worse to try and win with the Bulls’ current roster plus a few tweaks, cause that won’t work. Fans worry that ownership will just try to stay middling cause they sell out their corporate boxes regardless.

I’ll say it again, Jonathan Isaac is worth more than a 1st round pick. He’s SF version of Caruso.

Gotta suck for a year or two. Get a first for DeRozan while they still have him under contract. Sell off LaVine for less than expected.

Contenders have to be interested in Vucevic, right?

Can’t believe Jokic is ducking Holmgren tonight.

Lmao. It’s not that impressive KD. You scored on a chair.
