Sure, he might be able to do it ala Trevor Ariza a few years ago with the Rockets but it'll kill his productivity.

What's crazy is that he is actually MORE productive the more shots that he takes.

When he shoots MORE THAN three 3's a game, he is shooting 53% (28/53).
When he shoots LESS THAN three 3's a game, he is only shooting 22% (5/23).
When he shoots MORE THAN 10 shots a game, he is shooting 59.5% (50/84).
When he shoots LESS THAN 10 shots a game, he is shooting 47.2% (58/123).

I'd say at least half of his minutes are against starters right now because of the injuries on Denver. He's not going out there in garbage time and putting up these stats. These have all been meaningful minutes.

Hopefully he can continue to improve on both sides of the ball. Nice deep playoff run with MJP aiding the way could do wonders for some more Hobby love

is it possible we see any trades at deadline to open up more minutes for him?

Hard to say. Rumors have been pretty rampant all year surrounding Malik Beasley. He may prove to be too valuable for them to actually pull the trigger on moving. He also seems to play well together with MPJ.

I personally don't think they'll make any moves at the deadline. I think they appreciate the depth that they have, especially now that they have all of these injuries. But I do think they make some moves this off-season.

These look great together!

Very Nice. I think the Optic holo's can still be had for pretty cheap for those that have faith.

Game time soon bump!

GSWSFGSF49 · 01-28-2020, 09:45 PM

Ok I love the nugs 2nd favorite team but god do they miss on passes sometimes, dude hasn’t had a play really run for him, and even a kickout could space the floor when he’s on outside drives me nuts

ok at least i don't feel so lonely in thinking the same. he plays well when plumlee's on the court with him but a lot of the other guys don't pass at all. mpj's shooting over 50% from the 3 and they pass him up????!!!!

You guys are spot on. That 2nd unit really misses Plumlee. MPJ and Plumlee have a really good connection. They were good for 3-4 easy buckets a game minimum playing off of each other.

Craig is usually a 2nd unit guy too that is always willing to make the extra pass. Without Murray, Millsap, and Plumlee that 2nd unit is currently made up of a few guys that are typically DNP's.

Fresh in from Panini, hoping I'll be able to sell one to cover the cost of both at some point to make mine free

Ok, I was googling and not finding anything, so that's probably a good sign.

Coach Malone made the comments about it appearing not serious.

I knew they’d make a trade!

Anybody know this seller "timrio53"? He's auctioning off an Orange /49 MPJ RC PSA 10 and a Blue /199 PSA 10. It is a new account and he has 0 feedback which stinks. I'd love to make a run at both of these but the whole new account thing is annoying.

Looks like the Orange is #10/49 which auctioned off back in January and the winning bidder was "w***1" with 344 feedback. I'm confused at what's going on here, but I feel like these 2 auctions could be steals because of the timing (MPJ not playing again tonight, probably sits out until after AS break).

A lot of 0 feedback shilling on the Orange. The blue has some 0 feedback bidders as well.

Good catch. I was so busy trying to track down previous sales of the same card that I neglected to check on that. That's unfortunate. You'd think these people would at least try to hide it a little bit better.

KhalDrogo · 08-03-2020, 04:21 PM

MPJ!!!

alexlazarevich · 08-03-2020, 04:24 PM

yeah, great first half.

jerrygarcia · 08-03-2020, 04:36 PM

23 & 9 with almost 9 minutes left in third quarter.

Time to list some MPJs!
