Happy for you bruh. Really want to see them in the Finals this year. They're my secret guilty pleasure.

daeve · 10-28-2021, 10:28 PM

some Caruso D since apparently people don't know that he's pretty good. Made the 4-1 Chicago Bulls crunchtime lineup too.

They are a fun team to watch when they aren’t getting absolutely dismantled by the Clippers haha. Hopefully that changes, but we shall see!

How can they be classified as not 'very deep?'

Beal
Dinwiddie
Kuzma
Hachimura
Gafford
Harrell
KCP
Avdija
Bryant
Holiday

Those 10 guys could start on most teams. So they have 10 starter quality players... Plus they have the Latvian Laser and some guys named Todd, Neto and Kispert

Do they have the highest of high end talent? No. But are the deep? Hell yes!

4-1 baby! I don't think I've ever seen them with an .800 win percentage.

I'm sorry, what....?
The only Holiday in the league worthy of starting is a champ. Avdija? You know the definition of the word 'most', right..?
Harrell is a sixth man/part-time starter. Gafford is starting because Bryant is out, and even before getting hurt wasn't playing that many minutes.

Only Beal would be a definite starter on most (all) teams.
Some others would likely be starters in a few teams.
Some of those are laughable.

Kuzma is garbage

Ja en route to an MVP type of season.

Crazy, curry has 36 after 3 quarters and then goes 0-6 in the fourth quarter and overtime. Grizz dodged a bullet.

He hasn't scored in the 4th Q for the past couple games.

Also sucks that the Dubs are always careless with the ball.

Grizzlies made some key blocks and Ja went off in the second half.

Damn!

5 games in....Trae Young is already bit**ing about not getting calls?

"I don't want to get fined too much, but it's frustrating," the Atlanta star said.

"There's a lot of missed calls," he said. "It's basketball. It's just, it feels that they're learning, and they're just -- I don't know. It's frustrating."

"You can watch basketball. Damien Lillard's never averaged 17 points probably since his rookie year," Young said. "There's a couple guys. I mean, Book's averaging 18. There's a lot of things that, when guys are driving straight and guys are getting knocked off balance -- it's still a foul, whether they're using their lower body or their hands."

"Veering back and jumping into guys -- that's different," he said. "There are certain things that, I agree with the rule changes, but then there's things that are still fouls, and guys are going to get hurt. Especially a smaller guy like me who's going up against bigger and stronger defenders, they're using their body and they're using their legs and their hands to stop me."

It's already in his head.

It’s a crazy jump if he sustains it. I had him at 25ppg which is quite a leap… he’s been on a tear since the playoffs.

Nikola Jokic last night:

✅ 15 MIN
✅ 24 PTS
✅ 6 REB
✅ 6 AST

No other player since the ABA-NBA merger has recorded at least 20p/5r/5a in a game in which they played 15 or fewer minutes.

almost forgot about this little nugget - and do recall this was vs the DPOY Gobert

Does he realize that this is exactly what the league was aiming for?

Just now found out Jalen Green's half filipino.

Meet your new superfan by default.

Next Miguel Jordan Ramirez confirmed.

Yeah, he's realizing the new rule changes are making it a lot tougher for small guards like him. He's probably not finishing in the top 2 in FT attempts any more

Remember when about this time last year Steve Nash (one of Trae's idols) said what Trae Young was doing "wasn't basketball" and Trae had a 2 week or so stretch of bad games because Nash's comments were supposedly in his head?

Last season turned out pretty ok for him and the Hawks. Not worried in the slightest

Love DMitch & the Jazz, but I think at this point we've seen this song & dance before. Wake me up in the 2nd round of the playoffs and let's see if this is a different team this year

You can be a fan of your team but also objective.

These guys you listed just aren't that good.

Beal is a great player. Dinwiddie is decent. Harrell is fine. I'm still a Hachi believer but he looks like just another guy and the rest of them are not good

Take a look at one page, any page in the Luka thread. Just an absolute peppering of your negativity
