Sweet.

Poole rests.

Bub is no scrub.

bub must have read the deni thread

Yep. It would appear so.

Bub ruining the tank. He wants us to draft his Baltimore brethren. #DDQ.

Maybe.

Bub is playing his heart out. Honoring his dad with his effort. 32/9r/7a with only 1 TO. Hitting 7 or 10 from 3. But no he will never be as good as Deni Avdija. smdh.

Nope.

Not.

Well, not ever this season overall except for tonight

Last summer I was thinking Bub projected to be a high volume shooter from 3 since he is so comfortable shooting off the dribble. I think in time he could average double figure attempts from 3.

Shot 50/40/90 in February. Shoots better as a starter than as a back-up. People are missing that Bub has never played an off-ball role until he had to share the ball with Jordan Poole. The Bub you see tonight is who he has been. Except he looks like he has grown an inch over the season. Its not just the broccoli top fro he's wearing. Kid is literally growing as we watch.

Its gonna be a lot of haters eating crow as Bub shows what he can do. Deni took 5 years to become this paragon of lost hopes. Avatar of the girl you used to date. Bub is going to toast Deni's best milestones early in his career. Watch. If Deni had had one game like this over his rookie year, he wouldn't have had Westbrook so far up his butt he was chewing his food for him. Deni was passive. By instinct Bub is not. He deferred to Poole and Kuzma, but now it seems he's not waiting for permission or approval.

In today's game it isn't often a guy drops 30 with only one foul shot.

So, no, not James Harden.
