Jaylen seems to be both scared and aggressive at once. And he's a bit unusual in how well those characteristics can coexist simultaneously. Being able to stay aggressive and in control while scared is a pretty useful trait.

Very shortly after realizing that, I recalled that his father and grandfather are literally both heavyweight boxers. So perhaps it runs in the family.

Anyhow, glad to have a little early cushion before Miami gets in sync. Too bad that, per Doris, they seem to be able to bounce back from these starts routinely. Unsurprising, but too bad even so. :)

He's better built to throw his body into defenders.

Yes and he has more raw athletic ability.

Heat have to get more physical. They out hustled the C's the last time these two played.

why?

What is this guy smoking? Tatum is all nba potential, and will be for a long Time.

Lakers can’t guard Boston.

Tatum's ceiling is all-NBA, and he's yet to actually make an all-nba team


Luka's ceiling is multiple MVPs and he will make an all-nba team this season. That's the difference

Other than hitting the occasional corner 3, I don't understand why Ojeleye sees any floor time.

Only reason is because Hayward isn't out there.

Looks like it's going to be Lakers and Celtics finals, where Lakers will win and Lebron getting his 4th ring.

Kemba is still struggling. He’s been out of rhythm since early vs Toronto.
