Someone needs to humble him ASAP.

He should take lessons from another young future star (Zion) in that aspect.

It works. Just not for him. Harden and Westbrook are making their own foul calls.

2 days in:
Losses to Pelicans and Kings, while Blazers beat Grizzlies directly. I'm liking this start for Portland.

Well, he's not getting "touch" calls when everyone is getting them. 34 fouls called in the first half and 45 FTs.. I would say that Doncic 4 FTs are on the extreme low side considering all the contacts.

Luka should get classes from Harden how to get FT's and go to the line... He has long way to go.

So the guys the Knicks "dumped" on us just combined for 59 in the first half

He's like this without even seeing playoff basketball.

Imagine when coaches/players use clear grabbing/holding schemes like they do on players like Steph Curry.

Yep

I didn't follow the covid changes that closely so this might be a stupid question... but is play-in only between 8th and 9th seed? What happens if both 9th and 10th seed are within 4 games from the 8th seed?

In order for this Rockets scheme to work, they need someone who really rebounds.

But but...some will say they still won the trade because paying KP 30m is baaaad

How many birds live in Harden's beard? 3?

Oscar9992 · Post #595 » by **Oscar9992** » Sat Aug 1, 2020 2:42 am

Can't wait the playoffs to see my boy Luka choke and get exposed.

Boy needs to be traded to save the franchise.

Why didn't Lakers sign trey Burke instead of scrubs like rondo?

Yeah, that one were the refs called a foul after Westbrook screamed was so weird... even more considering the Mavs were on a fast break, and it wasn't obvious that there was a foul.

It's easier to not complain when you're shooting 10FTs in 19min.

lol our entire offense is revamped with three new starters. Bryn was already coming off the bench in the first two scrimmage games. The changes happened because development throughout the year allowed for young guys to now contribute. And here we are, without our starting front court, making the most of it.

Idc lol There’s no way Forbes should have been getting minutes over any of those guys it been obvious since day 1

Not sure who we ought to have started instead given DD no 3s, DJ not really either just here and there, and we needed the balance of the second unit. Those guys look like they do now because of the seasoning they got and developed. Bryn started most (I think) of last season, too, and it worked but he played more within his role. This season he tried to do too much and it... didn't work. His stats starting this season are lower across the board so if re-signing has mutual interest, it should be in our favour.

You'll be happy to know that Bryn is out for the rest of this season now - quad pull or something.

LOVED what our young guys showed tonight!!!

Didn't watch many Sixers games but was there a reason for Burke not getting any burn over Neto? I honestly thought it would have been a good fit for him over there. They have the defensive personnel to hide his shortcomings and he's an offensive guard who can score off the bench or play along Simmons if needed.

180 pts or bust
