Scottie looked about the same height as Siakam the last game, I was kind of shocked. Looks like he has grown a little.


I think is more accurate.

Still looks just slightly smaller...but it's close.

I honestly don't know why people are obsessed with his height, but he looks to be standing further back than Bam is in the pic.

Scottie was standing next to Giannis and Giannis was a legit 3 inches taller than him. Giannis is 6’11 so Scottie is likely around 6’8. Which is what Siakam’s height is.

Scottie is built like a tank and he has long arms, broad shoulders, with a high shot release. He's the ideal hybrid wing/big size because he has the versatility to defend both bigs and smalls. If you're too big and lanky it's a lot harder to chase guards around. OG has a similar profile.

Off-season is starting early, didn't you get the notice?

He's added 15 feet of forced perspective.
9. Similarly, IF THOU HAST SPENT the entire offseason predicting that thy team will stink, thou shalt not gloat, nor even be happy, shouldst thou turn out to be correct. Realistic analysis is fine, but be a fan first, a smug smarty-pants second.

Off-season has already put on 20 pounds of muscle.

When did KG develop that go to fadeaway? I thought he had that pretty early on in his career?

Scottie needs that go-to move. And from there, build counters.

Lol it's pretty clear to me what's likely to happen henceforth.

The pensare cult will continue to drive these insane narratives about Scottie like he's a demi-god...."his all-star game stats were better than so and so from 1997".

NBA fans will collectively mock them....thus re-enforcing the bizarre persecution complex.

With all honesty...If this board was able to shake around 5 to 10 pensare cult members it would do wonders for the discourse.

Pensare claims to be "passionate". That's not passion. The extreme hate for some players and the irrational unconditional love for others is symptomatic of mental health issues. The whole thing is disturbing. "I love the way scotty tied his shoes". Yechhh.

It was the same back in the day when he spent an inordinate amount of time defending Bargnani for years on this board under the alias "messiah."

I won't even go into the Abercrombie and Fitch golden thread, lol.

Remember when he said he was a Blazers scout, then an NBA insider etc...hilarious.

That you think Pensare has a cult on RealGM? Or even using Pensare as a reason people might disagree with you? Your whole post reeks of a troll attempt IMO.

Who the F cares about Pensare? The stuff I read on here is crazy.

Bro this fool is still telling his audience that he is fielding multiple offers from media companies to become an nba reporter with a press pass.

But he is soooo committed to the integrity of his podcast that he MUST turn them down because he's just "too real". It blows me away that he gets away with this transparent crap. I work in sports media. He is such a compulsive liar and it's painfully obvious.

Impressionable young men might not be able to detect his compulsive lying and narcissism which makes him somewhat dangerous imo. He attempts to convince his audience that there is a sports media conspiracy against his interests.

I've been hesitating to talk about it here....but it needs to be talked about.
