He runs to a corner and stands there unguarded until Luka gets bored of dribbling and passes him the ball. That's his role. That's not worth what he makes.

It is when he shoots over 50% from 3.

What's really noteworthy in the Hornets game is just how awful Hayward has been all night.

Sad to watch. Both ends too. Missing open jumpers on one end then dying on screens other end. Luka was unbothered with Gordo’s defense. He’s also moving as if everyone is on 1.5x speed.

Rob gimpy after bumping knees with a Grizzly. Had to be subbed out.

LOVE that kid. I'd love to find a way to get him from Atlanta.

That would be good for the Cs, but it would be bad for the kid.

Jalen Johnson is in the perfect spot because he's going to be a starter there.

With the Cs, he's going to be Brissett's replacement.

He will just want out because of the lack of minutes.

I'm thinking in 2 more years would be perfect. IYKYK

What a difference even a basic big body like Biyombo and Kennard hitting 3s makes for Grizzlies.

Some excellent by-play with Brogdon V Smart...looked like it was personal.

Also hope Rob is not too injured.

Grizzlies are just one game away from Marcus Smart being equal to Zach LaVine or Demar Derozan. Basically a fringe all-star.

Our boy finally got a win. I'm happy for him.

Dallas looks great, looks like a true contender in the West.

JJJ bumped Rob a little, and he’s already limping, and was sub out. Dude will never be truly healthy. It will only get worse when he gets older. Liked Rob, but glad we got rid of him.

Update: having knee surgery, possibly out for year. He just can’t win. I don’t know if we sold “high” on him but thank goodness we moved him for value.

Right knee?

zoyathedestroya · Post #579 » by **zoyathedestroya** » Mon Nov 6, 2023 11:17 pm

Feel bad for Rob. Just can’t keep upright. Recover soon, big fella!

Also, unfair or not, this is gonna be another hit on Celtics rep surrounding moving injured players.

I figured two 1rst's + Brogdan + Rob W III was too much for Jrue (Age 34, even though I may have been the leader of the get someone like Jrue Holiday trade club), unless there were health concerns with Brogdan's elbow or Rob's knees. At this point I'd say it's justifiable having to give up the 2nd 1rst. Boston was between a rock and a hard place. Portland wanted picks, figuring they'd have to move at least Brogdan. But now, maybe it was a fair exchange.
