I think Jalen might be a tad bit overrated. I think Hawks see him as a second option but I don’t think he is. I think it’s the Collins situation all over again.


I think he’s way more versatile than Collins and will be a great 3rd option when Risacher becomes their #2. Much better defender and playmaker.


I'm not saying that JJ plays like Collins because they are two different players. What I am saying is that just like Collins who was paid to be a second option but failed to play that role this may also occur to JJ. I feel like JJ is best suited to be a high-level role player (similar to an Aaron Gordon) instead of a guy who gets you points.


I think he’s better than that. He has the shot, handle, and playmaking to be an excellent 3rd option

The real question is the decision making.

Harden blew by Hield like he was in quicksand.

Still waiting for the Clippers to look like a 14 seed brother lol. On a side note before this challenge Draymond got away with punching Zu in the nuts a few plays back

Podziemski doesn't seem ready to shoot in the minutes I've watched him. He needs to let that thang fly.

His recent contract is in high level role player territory. Guys like Aaron Gordon, Jalen Suggs, Min's Mcdaniels, and Derrick White have all been paid about that much. So, I think the perception might be with the fans and not the organization.

I still don't believe the Blazers are as easy an out as people think. Adding Deni and Clingan to them is going to make them better and they seem to have an army of 6'8-6'9 guys in Deni, Grant, Camara, Jabari Walker and Kris Murray.


I feel you, but its the Blazers. These are the games you're supposed to win anyway if you're a serious team.

Like I was watching the Bucks/Nets game and the Bucks were losing, and I found myself going "but they still don't have Middleton".

And then it dawned on me, that its the **** Nets.


I have the Pelicans missing the playoffs (and maybe the play-in). If there's one team that can't be down a starter (Murray) and their top bench performer (Murphy), it's them. At least this season. Previous game the two teams were even on the glass. Tonight, Blazers were +12.

I am also on record that they made a mistake trading Dyson Daniels. They should have done everything they could to move Ingram and keep him. What made them special was having him, Herb and Murphy as starters who could also be role players around Zion. They made the Hawks better for no good reason.


Agree on the Daniels trade, Dejounte is nice but they already have 3 high usage players so there's gonna be diminishing returns on his offense, and Daniels is the better defender.

Wait you mean a great shot blocker is looking good surrounded by all-defensive team caliber defenders at all times? Shocking

Lol no. Without Kawhi they will be a bounce from 3-0 vs Suns, Nuggets, Warriors on the road IF they finish tonight. That’s with the Warriors being 3-0 blowing teams out and Jokic having 41 points and 7 3s. You probably need to reassess their defense like I said weeks ago.

Keep in mind Harden is 4-16 and Mann 1-5 too.
