You guys will be ok, you only just got your first cornerstone piece in the 21-22 season, and he’s been hurt a lot of it which slowed his development . Duren and Ausar are keepers too. Let them all develop as the front office continues to draft better as of late😊

Like the in-depth commentary. A hell of a lot better than anything on the networks. Real basketball talk. But for somebody as attention deficit as I am, smaller bites would be welcome.

Gafford is a good defender?????? He top 10 in blocks and top 5 in Dallas??
@NekiasNBA
@NekiasNBA Месяц назад
I'm aware of the blocks, hence noting his rim protection. We've talked about Gafford quite a bit over the past couple of seasons -- legit presence at the rim, but his work in space and the depth of his drop (he's gotten better, and he's much better than the CHI days) have been questions of mine. That's why I phrased it the way I did.

The Rockets coaching last night was shocking. They let Luka hunt switches with impunity.

Maybe double Luka every once in a while guy's.

So keegan/monk/ keon are good defenders but DJJ/Pj/gafford are may/may not be B+ defenders??
@NekiasNBA
@NekiasNBA Месяц назад
Well, not exactly lol. I think Keegan has gotten better (would dub him as solid), Keon is good but sub-elite, Malik competes but i'm not a fan of his defensively. I don't think any of the guys mentioned top out at B+ level to me -- that (or higher) means you're someone I would consider in an All-Defense conversation. I do think DJJ has been good (and he's shown that capability in different spots). I still have my questions about Gafford in space, but the rim protection has been valuable. I've enjoyed PJ's versatility -- nice to see that showcased on a winner vs hidden in Charlotte (as the sicko that watched him in Charlotte lol)

Gotta love that when FT''s and PF's are comparable, Lakers stand ZERO CHANCE to win games against half-decent teams. I'm amazed how many people STILL ignore the BLATANT RIGGING that's going on in their favor. Recently over a 3-game stretch: 110 FREE THROWS for Lakers, 52 for opponents! 46 PF's for Lakers, 90 for opponents! It's ridiculous. Rigging at its finest.

absolutely positive between the two of them they’ve consumed more ball that the entirety of your life span. Shai has a legitimate case for MVP and the case for that was well explained in the OM3 episode. But because that’s not who you’d have picked, he doesn’t watch ball? Maybe explain your perspective and have a discussion as opposed to being a waste man (non gender specific) and going straight to the “you don’t watch hoop”. Basketball is subjective, it is also narrative driven. OM3 episode JJ points out that all of the names mentioned in the MVP convo have stats to back it up. Luka, Jokic, Shai, Tatum; they’re all doing insane thing. Make your case for who you’re thinking deserves it and stop using the “they just don’t watch” cop out because you have an inability to articulate yourself
