So happy Lance Stephenson is back in the NBA, so much fun to watch

UcanUwill · Post #42 » by **UcanUwill** » Sun Jan 9, 2022 2:17 am

I just box score watching, but how is Domantas so good in the NBA sometimes? I think I have watched every FIBA mens game of his, and hes honestly just average at best. I have watched handful of Indiana games, and every time I watch them, Domas has a bad game. I cant reacal seeing a good game of his, he is so much worse than his father was in international basketball at least its beyond landslide, like man. I dont get this guy and my luck that when I actually tune in or when he plays for Lithuania - he sucks, when I skip his game, he has 37 points in the nba...

Lance Stephenson with 14 assists. Is he still on 10 day contracts?

replay showed a foul. LaMelo def grabbed giannis.

Meanwhile Giannis can make people bleed without getting a call

It's very hard to explain. I agree in FIBA games he is pretty underwhelming, but in the NBA he bullies people under the basket, gets free throws and hits open shots. Even some 3s. If he has a good P/R partner, he can be very effective. Like today with Lance.

Yeah that lack of a call was bull.
i'm not a homer tho, and the reffing doesn't seem skewed either way.

I’m surprised they didn’t give him more free throws as well.

Star calls are so stupid

I just bumped the Lance thread just to talk about how great he was. Dude dropped 16/6/14/4stls in 28 mins. How the hell was he not in the NBA? Lol

He has to get another contract . Or contender will . Nets should give him one if they can

Didn't he have maturity and consistency issues? If so, that's why. But right now he looks like he belongs in the NBA.

with the way this game was called we're lucky Plumee didn't get called for a flagrant for headbutting Giannis elbow

Maturity issues? Nah, not really.

As for the consistency, he has been consistently good for the Pacers and consistently underwhelming for everyone else. So, yeah, kinda :lol:

Udoka sat Tatum long enough in the 4th to prevent him from giving up the lead with his ISOs and long dribbling.

Jaylen Brown 1st career TD

19/11/11

Arguably one of his most impressive games despite the low number of points.

I did a quick search. He does have issues in his past.

People have been killing Jaylen for not passing and he must have heard us haha. Showed he can make good reads, find the open man and move the ball nicely. Great game with the triple double. Happy for him.

The Bucks players aside from Giannis/Portis/Middleton shot 6/36 from the floor today *barf*

If Plumlee wasn't cut open there was nothing at normal speed that had that looking like a blatant offensive foul, but it wouldn't have surprised me if it was called. Missed call by the refs there.

Also, Giannis is literally mugged every time he steps into the key, and so to hear opponent supporters crying at the foul shots he gets need to take a big cup of concrete. He is beat up on every trip to the basket by at least two defenders. Every. Time.
