Not only does he often will a subpar team into the W by dominating on offense, but he also guards the best opposing perimeter player every time, be it a SG, a SF or even a PG. And he's pretty much on his own when he does it, as our bigs are slow as heck and they always come over late. Kudos to the young fella. He gets buckets and wins.


And then he's BSing with the guys, smiling, talking with girls in the front row, laughing, teaching Felicio, having fun in the 4th and overtime. It's fun to watch, they totally took over in the 4th.


That's the one thing I like about Jimmy he kills other teams but still very much his fun loving self.

Only other guy I've seen do that is Lebron but usually that's only with his teammates. But kinda plays with everyone

NBA fan logic we need to trade one of two best players because (Player X) one needs to shine more.

40 PPG, seems reasonable.

When they guys in the league are posting NBA record's like in triple double (most since Oscar) or best 3pt shooting in history, both attempts and percentage, or just by crusing through the league posting Lebron's like nothing, and on top of that when new guys start putting and becoming 1st NBA player ever in top 20 in PTS-REB-AST-STL-BLK in same season. In game where both Lebron and Jordan existed. Yh. He does.

Cause that's what superstars do.

Im already thinking Felicio might be a better option as starter over Lopez. Felicio is just much quicker on defense against smaller guards and is more active on both ends of the floor. Usually good things happen when Felicio is on the floor.

You might want to check all the advanced stats, he's already top 10 in virtually all of them.

What superstars do, Jimmy just did tonight, and this whole week.

Jimmy's trajectory is astounding. From the 30th pick to a superstar.

Now theyve just eliminated the point guard all together, that 4th quarter, it was jimmy, wade, McDer, Niko and Felico. It was Jimmy penetrating and dishing, Jimmy penetrating and bounce passing to Wade, Jimmy penetrating and getting to the rim for the foul.

It was pretty masterful, it was the closest I've seen to Jordan-esque.

I figured he was in for a huge year before we signed Wade/Rondo.

Wade won't really get in the way of it now.

Biggest gain will be his assists, and passing that everyone has been bellyaching over. Before he was in a scorer role, now he's in a dual role.

What a week. Took down 3 of the top 5 teams in the East. Build off this and keep it going with this very busy week ahead with 4 games on tap.

You forgot he was the one who named McDermott and Niko the drain duo.

Went from most positive posters to most negatives. I miss that positive guy who just enjoyed McDermott and Niko grow.

I hope we do trade jimmy

That way in 3 years with this league solely belongs to jimmy, giannis, embiid, Anthony davis, and karl Anthony towns, we can be a clear laughing stock of the league while jimmy is collecting rings with boston lol

Gar needs to find a 3 & D wing or PG ASAP. I know he can't get a star but someone competent or more reliable than guys like Grant. Give Jimmy a chance to get wins more easily.
