“How did he do that?!?!? Most guys would’ve had vertigo!”

 

[N41D]

Porzingis finding his legs something serious.. Bubble KP creeping back out from under the bleachers.

One playoff seeding tie breaker in the bag.

dray gonna go hard for lamelo once he gets that studio gig

 

[sneeker]

Why is Lebrinkles’ narrative so much better than the other MVP candidates? His age?

because the NBA says so. til the NBA has grown tired of him and lose his marketability, they would continue to milk on his face (that didn't came out right).

 

[sneeker]

I get it and him sustaining this level of play at that age is remarkable. But he gets praised for it all the time and I’m not sure that should be the deciding factor for the NBA most valuable player award. Just my personal opinion.

personally, I don't think he is sustaining it but managing it especially his minutes and type of play. he is not playing at the highest level and more likely to pick his spots. he plays enough to help the team but saying that he is instrumental or main guy for the wins, that is just b.s. Lebron's game is deteriorating. he's still not clutch and plays horrible defense for half the time.

Giannis grabbed Russ like a child who was acting up

 

[sneeker]

Please explain how HYPE has gotten Simmons on the AS teams when the coaches vote on that. How does hype get Simmons on All Defense when we have video evidence of him clamping up?

with the type of decision-making people make nowadays, anything is possible. just look at that Anfernee Simons guy won with that awful dunk. they actually given a guy a trophy who looks like he is being forced to kiss a dude with bad breath.

In other words “I hate Lebron and I have since 2003 I wish he would go away”

Happy Spring Forward Day, y’all...especially antidope

I underestimated LaMelo heavily.

I didn't doubt his playmaking but doubted everything else. I figured it take him a few seasons to break those bad habits.

Everybody is aware.

But man when he hits his peak and his game is firing on all cylinders he’s unbelievable.

"Bubble KP"

It's 10-12 week spurts.

He's a week into this so he's due to get hurt around playoff time.

Then again he's never been proactively load managed like this.

 

[dacomeup]

Just threw a little something on Harden MVP odds. Too good not to.

Happy Spring Forward Day, y’all...especially antidope

Only

Happy Spring Forward Day, y’all...especially antidope

Yall gon realize one day that this is ALL STUPID.

They still awarding winners at the end of the season? What’s the odds on Harden?

 

[sneeker]

I underestimated LaMelo heavily.

I didn't doubt his playmaking but doubted everything else. I figured it take him a few seasons to break those bad habits.

I still reserve my judgement til he finishes 4 complete seasons. if his game doesn't improve anymore or falters into obscurity within that time frame, then I would slowly give my final say. so far, he is a starter. maybe a potential star if he keeps it up. better than Lonzo in terms of basketball savviness/iq, demeanor and overall skillset but could use some further improvement on defense. with Lavar out of the way, this kid might do better.

 

[antidope]

+1600 on DraftKings currently.

 

[N41D]

The only question anybody should’ve had about LaMelo coming in was whether or not he’d shoot himself out of rotation minutes.

Everything else to me felt relatively safe to translate to the NBA level.

Even before this spurt started, he was having the most efficient season he’s ever had from an offensive production prospective... By a rather large margin, too.

If he’s healthy enough to be even an above-average help defender and rim protector, that’s huge.

Gotta stay on the floor. Unlikely.

 

[pums]

Lamelo really has a lot of tools that you can’t teach . You can’t teach his vision , confidence and his “feel for the game”.

 

[freeze]

Dame so different.

God hates the Knicks. So he's actually going to be healthy the rest of the year
