His jumpshot is still looking flat though. That's one thing I was hoping he would improve.

He always shot better when he had more arc on his shot. Somebody said it was from tired legs, but who knows?

Better ask Janis.

when he's 10-feet tall?

not too many 7'3' players can drive fro the top of the key and pass out to a 3-point shooter. the highlight reel showed him do that several times. he could average 4 assists a night with a play like that.

Melo, Hayward, Horford, Embiid, LeBron, Love, Giannis, Whiteside

Hopefully KP does indeed make the team.

The expectations are crazy, which I understand on a level, but still... This is coming from someone who fully expects KP to have a HOF career, but he may not consistently dominate next season just yet, and that would be okay.

...like a unicorn?

Queen:

It ain't much I'm asking, I heard him say,
Gotta find me a future move out of my way,
I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, and I want it now,
I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, and I want it now,

Listen all you people, come gather round
I gotta get me a game plan, gotta shake you to the ground
Just give me what I know is mine,
People do you hear me, just give me the sign,
It ain't much I'm asking, if you want the truth
Here's to the future for the dreams of youth,
I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, and I want it now,
I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, and I want it now!

KP has looked tired but still managed to play a good game. He walks down the court when a guard is running the ball up, and he's flat footed in between plays. But he's done lots of good stuff - especially love his passing and defense. He has played about ⅔ of the the time, the other ⅓ was Dirk.

Would you hustle a ton as a big in a game where the guard is going to go 1 on 3 and hoist up a 3 pointer?

Or even better like in the first half when **** Andre Drummond was chucking 3s.

Drummond has a future shooting 3s -- at around 22.4%, around where he shoots free throws :rofl:

Ok, but you get my point, right?

Yea. I just think the strength one is way off base. That won't happen for a few more years at least.

LOL Drummond is Hasheem Thabeets ceiling.

Drummond is a rich man's Reggie Evans. Can't really figure out how he made an All-Star team.

This wasn't an All Start game in Africa, it was an exhibition and he was quite an interesting exhibit. He thought he had an outside shot, and he also thought he could shoot fouls. Wrong and wrong.

And he stole KP's thunder by hitting that stupid free-throw and matching his 14 points.

But I guess Brown would have stole it anyway with that dunk at the end...but still...

Stolen.

You (and many others) should learn the difference between the simple past and the past participle. I stole - I have stolen, I went - I have gone, I knew - I have known, I wrote - I have written, and so on. It's appalling how people make such basic mistakes in their native language. :banghead:

So we now know the Pistons' tanking strategy.

Atleast KP is playing some more games because the offseason is sooooo boring.

Oh, man. Don't even go there. You will be Ville-ified by the slackers.

(See what I did there?)

Here, you have to learn to accept this kind of thing:

"FOH me and my friend where juss saying that the Knicks could of had the worse record last year but there bench played to good at the end".

These are the fans who think Phil Jackson is stupid lol

It was a typo. I apologize if it led you to be appalled.

But thanks for the tutorial. I was wondering what "Real GM" stood for and now I know it stands for "Grammar."

And this whole time I thought this was a sports forum!
