What a joke? Lmao god bless. Teams
Been banged up all
Year. Rookies and
2nd year players. No wiseman, no Klay. This will rank as one of Currys top years statistically. Warriors
Were the best defensive team the last 22 games of the year . Nice game by Ja, but at the end of His career, he wont SNIFF what Steph has done on many levels including singlehandedly changing the game
Of basketball

You can’t beat the grizz if Morant is hitting 3s. That’s a miracle.

Really bizarre sentence structure here, but I agree with you. Steph will go down as one of the greats.

But Ja had the better game last night.

Who cares about sentence structure did you not realize that guy can see the future?!

It has to do with Ja's his skill set. As he ages(past his prime years), it'll be tougher for him to maintain the explosiveness that he has right now. See AI, Rondo
with similar builds. With that being gone, there wont be a lot for him to fall back on. What was bizarre was the other guy thinking Steph being in the running for MVP is a joke.

Yeah I don't care lol. That's all well and good but when people start acting like they know the future its just silly.

Ja is a baby just stop with the negativity. Man you don’t think year after year he’s going to continue to refine his jump shot?! I’m excited to see what this young man develops into. The future is very bright for Ja collectors/investors!

gomiamigo · 05-23-2021, 08:26 PM

Nash singlehandedly changed the game with uptempo pace and his combo of ballhandling, wizardly passing and 3pt shooting.

Curry just better at volume 3pt shooting. Nash better assists, better passer, same FT%, better 3pt % [shot 46-47% on 4.5+ per game in consecutive years], better FG%.

Kerr just adapted the Nash playbook for Curry and the NBA changed to use the 3 more. If Nash was drafted 10 years later he'd have been shooting 9-10 3s a game not 4-5.

Plus Curry had better teammates in Draymond and Klay and Durant [and Iggy and Barnes] than Marion and Amare' and Diaw.

ninjacookies · 05-23-2021, 09:37 PM

I don't think anyone ever expects Ja to develop into a sharpshooter.

But I don't necessarily think he has to.

Just needs to get to a point where he hits 3's and a 15-17 footer at an acceptable clip. His athleticism and craftiness (barring injury) should sustain him for many more years. He's still a kid.

Think potential Dollar Tree DRose. I love his attitude. He's fearless in victory and defeat and wears his heart on his sleeve.

dkcardman · 05-23-2021, 09:58 PM

Kid clearly has talent. Players dont accidently put up 20/10 or 30/10 games which he will occasionally do. Its consistency he has to work on. This is basically the equivalent to his junior year in college. He is still just 21 folks. If he puts the work in, he can absolutely both improve and become more consistent. That's all up to him. Also the players around him are extremely young so as they improve, he will improve even more.

I agree with this. We also have to consider that due to the COVID pandemic, a lot of the young players haven't had a normal offseason, summer league, etc. to work on shortcomings & new skills to add to their arsenal.

Ouch. Surely Costco or Macy's DRose at worst?

And I loved Rose, huge fan, he was my other PC guy until too many injuries. Still have a few sweet RCs incl a topps 1/1 and Exquisite patch auto and SPA.

Far from a diss. I cop all my shop towels and contraceptives from DT. The ultimate trust.

WalterAZ31 · 05-26-2021, 07:59 PM

crazy that his Mosaic Gems are now as much if not maybe even a tick more than Zion Gems

2 months ago that would have been laughable suggestion. Just shows how hot a player can get card value wise from playoff basketball and also just how much Zions cards have completely disintegrated in value in the last half year

Too bad I own no Mosaic gems.

I struggle to get even half the value of Zion on all my Prizm and Hoops premium Ja's. But I'd love for that to change.

clocsta2323 · 05-26-2021, 08:32 PM

One play-in game & a game 1 and everyone is back on Ja's jock? I vaguely remember everyone being real pessimistic about his long-term potential and hobby viability watching him play this season. Basketball crowd is insane.

Is it the basketball crowd, or is it the beisbol or futbol boiz who only pay attention to national TV games jumping in?

JohnnyHatesJazz · 05-26-2021, 09:52 PM

Ya Ja.

Ya!!!

Rudy just cost us a lot of money. Ja landing that dunk would have been something.

Boi's a gamer and doesn't afraid of anything.

Should be a nice rise after tonight. Thx for the 5vm carbon fiber front splitter, bb.
