I’ve thought Reddish was trash since Fall 2018, so not sure what your point is.

If you came to the thread any other time than after a loss, you would have seen it.

Many folks can't handle this game. They have money on the line and it clouds their ability for self awareness. The awareness needed to discover that they are indeed hypocrites.

today game was tough, it is what it is.

On to the next lol.

RogerGodahell · 12-30-2020, 10:47 PM

Charlotte was just hot tonight they could have beaten the Lakers how good they're shooting tonight. Everything is going in for them.

They might not get a single rebound against the Heat playing like this.

Oh ok... found it. It was yesterday.

Guess being paid $8M as a 21 year old professional isn't enough motivation to come in to the season in shape. Needs others to get him motivated.

I still think he has a knee or ankle injury.

RogerGodahell · 12-30-2020, 10:50 PM

Porzingis whenever he comes back will be a game changer for sure. They need him badly soon.

minnesotachill · 12-30-2020, 10:51 PM

The expectations for young players is so ridiculously high, I feel bad for guys like Luka and Zion.
It's the new age of collecting and when these guys don't meet these insane expectations, the prices have nowhere to go but down.

Yes its early in the season, but aside from Trae Young, I have not been impressed by any of the young stars that were hyped up during the offseason.

Have you seen his last couple seasons? He plays 4 games and than gets injured.

RogerGodahell · 12-30-2020, 10:52 PM

I wish they played Boban more too he really changes the flow of the game. He's so big and can score some really easy points when they need him.

lol, that guy was basically nowhere to be found in this thread during most of 2020 as Luka was setting records, being named All-NBA first team, destroying the Clippers in the playoffs, etc.

He'll be ghost soon once Luka and the Mavs start rolling again

Not quite that dramatic but he is a great player when healthy. He was averaging something like 30 points 15 rebounds a game in the bubble last year.

Isn't that what hype is? You're paying for future expectations. If they don't meet those expectations... people move on to the players that are.

It's nothing new. Just hits the pocket book a little more when the hype causes insane prices.

No, it wasn’t only yesterday, that post was pribably the 5th about it. Cubam talked about him on a Podcast about a week ago. There was also a lot of uncertainity when the season will start, his country was in lockdown, he started the short off season with an ankle injury which he needed to rest ezc. He is aware that he is out of shape and he’ll be just fine. Cuban also said that they talk every day, and Luka respects his body and he has a very high work ethic.

Wasn't that the same for all the NBA? I see quite a few players that are in shape.

Harden came in out of shape too.... hasn't slowed him down.

How many of them started the off season with a sprained ankle that wasn’t fully healed?

KhalDrogo · 12-30-2020, 11:01 PM

Like we said a few days ago, legs are the issue on the three ball. He needs to let go of the step backs and deep threes and just focus on creating off the drive.

The whole damn team is addicted to the three. And it’s so bad when they’re off because they’re so lazy getting back on defense.

Luka had 100 days to heal. Ankles don't take 3+ months. 4-6 weeks maybe...not 3 months.
