This Bahama boy scored 30 for the Sixers and Flagg can’t score 2 points ?

That was nice. Surprised we haven't seen the Derrick Jones over Kessler dunk, too.

Feels like the latter. Very undisciplined. They are playing like they have never seen Wemby before in their lives.

So Flagg is definitely not a PG. Mavs need to end this nonsense immediately

The level of athleticism in today's NBA is crazy.

Wemby averaged 31 PPG on 77 TS% per36 in the preseason and started with 21 pts on 63TS% against the best defensive frontcourt in the league.

Bad news for SlimShady. Walker Kessler is dominating Zubac and the Clips and is now officially out of The Lakers price range in terms of a trade.

There's a difference between a good secondary ballhandler and a PG. With the right system you can get by with multiple good secondary ballhandlers sharing the load but you really can't run with one as a PG with very little help.

Chuck hit the nail on the head. Mavs are mismanaging Flagg, he’s not a primary initiator and has no business passing it to guys who are inferior to him.

The debate started because the Spurs were experimenting by playing Sochan at PG and Wemby at PF during his rookie season. Once he moved to C, his numbers spiked and the debate was over

Look at how Harper is playing! He playing scared! I'll give him a month before I watch him again. He'll be fine once he gains confidence. Coaches have to work on that. He's gotta work on his shooting though. If he isn't driving to the rim, and got no shooting, he's useless. like this game.
