If his first couple of showings are any indication, hes going to have absolutely insane defensive production over his career.

bench Ingram for NAW, already a better player

I agree but I can generally excuse Ingram for not showing much improvement this year because he spent most of the offseason rehabbing from surgery instead of practicing

I was actually more disappointed in Ingram last year because he put in so many hours in the offseason working on his game and everyone on the Lakers was talking up what he had done in the offseason. Then he showed up for the season looking like exactly the same player he had been the year before

i've never seen that kind of defensive IQ on the perimeter...it's absolutely insane, Andre Iguodala-like, but maybe even better

Jazz shooting 68% from the field and 56% from 3-pt, but I think both teams are basically going through the motions on defense. It's not a physical game.

Jazz ball movement is better without Rubio and Crowder because now everyone is a credible shooter. Space is pretty good.

Pels are more athletic than they look. Frank Jackson and NAW have good speed and length off the bench. Ingram is long. Jaxson Hayes looks good too. Jeff Green was blowing by Nicolo Melli though.

I really wanted the Pacers to draft Thybulle, I love his game.

Giannis already building his repeat case for MVP. If they hit FT's and close out that game 3 against the Raps last year, i think we'd be having discussions about his GOAT potential

Question for Magic fans - why isn't Ross a starter??? I haven't watched a lot of Orlando games, but whenever I do, it seems like Ross is the one constant that the Magic can depend on.

Giannis getting that Shaq/Lebron treatment where refs dont give them calls other guys get cause theyre just too big and too strong

One superstar vs two. Giannis vs Luka and Portzingis. Giannis is up 23 to 13. As much as I dislike him, I still have to say Budenholzer's team is going to play defense. Even in the preseason.

Lonzo making free throws now?

Catchall · Post #1274 » by **Catchall** » Sat Oct 12, 2019 1:29 am

Jazz with more turnovers than Dunkin Donuts.

Sexton’s honestly become a pretty deadly shooter to my surprise. I just don’t see the value of him beyond a sixth man role. His playmaking and defense leave a lot to be desired.

I am not a hater but this is a fact, if you cannot play with the Wizards the 8th seed or better this season is a pipe dream.

He bailed on my Hawks. Way to much drama at the end of his last season from someone who is suppose to be a professional.

I don't think any Knicks fans are expecting the playoffs....are they?

How many times will the phrase "it's only preseason" be used in this thread on average?
