I dont know how to feel about this . No one on this team can consistently by their man so they overrely on Niang bombs. A player who may or may not be reliable enough to play in the playoffs.

Niang looks like that pudgy dad at the Y that schools you

Looking good, these second quarters are always so critical. How they go plays a huge role in how our night goes. We can beat anyone with Joel on the floor, but sustaining leads, keeping the game close when he sits is so damn critical towards this team succeeding.

I just meant a guy who will just chuck 3s asap. Melton has also been that too be fair. Ideally said player wouldn't have Niang's downsides lol.

That's a bad challenge

Harden was moving so ofcouse Doc uses a review on that . Doc never uses a review when he supposed to just waste it on the call you know won't go our way.

Nobody in the NBA consistently gets by their man. With that said, Tyrese, Harden, and Shake are all good at doing so. Having another three point bomber who is locked in as soon as he fits the floor couldn't hurt. I'm also not going to say that Niang isn't playoff material. He was hurt last year, that's why he was so off in the postseason.

First glance; feet planted and Zion initiated contact driving his shoulder into Harden.

What gives?

It's literally the same call they did on Hardem lol

Yea I know what your saying. I'm just saying lil nervous about Niang (with his downsides) shooting being so important for this team. A needed pressure release valves when the offense gets stagnant(which is often).

refs junked this one up

Murray_17 · Post #53 » by **Murray_17** » Tue Jan 3, 2023 1:07 am

With both Joel and Harden with 3 fouls this lead feels unsafe as hell

ExplosionsInDaSky · Post #54 » by **ExplosionsInDaSky** » Tue Jan 3, 2023 1:09 am

We might be in trouble. This lady ref really really SUCKS man.

ExplosionsInDaSky · Post #55 » by **ExplosionsInDaSky** » Tue Jan 3, 2023 1:10 am

We're fine trading baskets between Jo and Zion, but no more fouls please.

Zion gets a ton of leniency on his bulldozing almost Giannis worthy

That's not true. Ofcourse there is not a single player that can get past the defense every time but their are players that can consistently break down the defense and get a shot for themselves or their teammates. Even watching Zion do it right now.
Maxey has a very good first step but once the defender takes that away he usually takes wild shot. Maxey IMO is more of a slasher with a pull up J than a shot creator. Harden though an elite playmaker and very good ball handler has lost a step and predictable offensively. Shake has no "Shake" to his handles and has never been quick with the ball.

Is Tobias playing?

Mik317 · Post #59 » by **Mik317** » Tue Jan 3, 2023 1:24 am

gotta make Zion a passer

Zion is nuts

his touch around the rim is crazy
