The Official NBA Season Thread: I’m like Jayson Tatum in the Olympics I'm not playing

[king j]

In FIBA?

Ok you got it

You saw a team clearly struggle with something he excels at but he's getting cooked

Rebounding his own misses?

 

[B Sox]

Prob thinks bummy BI should get more burn too

 

[elpablo21]

Watching or even just reading that JJJ got one rebound through two games and thinking Looney wouldn’t be a competent piece for this team makes no sense. Then on top of that suggesting they might as well send 2023 Andre Drummond over him? C’mon man

It's just GS hate. Bro not even thinking about how it benefits the actual USA team who got smoked on the boards today

 

[king j]

Nah y’all just don’t like Dre… Identical stats to Looney in 11 less mins a game.

He’s been Playoff Jaylen Brown level trash in FIBA

He even took his fandom to another level by doubling down to defend BI and take shots at Boston

NBA fandom shouldn’t cloud Team USA judgements like this

He’s been significantly worse than Playoff JB.

Complete trash can and on both sides of the ball. That’s what happens when you bring a dude that’s in the lotto every year onto the team though unfortunately

B Sox still upset about them BI > Jaylen takes

@ballinsam and lawdog1 innocently brought up Looney and somehow its flipped into Drummond hate. What

There’a a pretty small pool of players who fit the description “American competent traditional big” to begin, so I thought I could throw out a few names that wouldn’t be controversial. Welp…


But that’s what makes this thread what it is

 

[pmatic]

I brought up Looney being a big on the team months ago. Would've helped with the post defense, rebounding and passing.

 

[pums]

Jarret Allen?

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Jokic?

 

[ballinsam23]

Jarret Allen?

Mitchell Robinson >>>>

 

[p0tat0 5alad]

Dwight Howard

 

[dontsteponmyshoes]

Tyson Chandler aint walking thru that door

 

[king j]

Might as well give Boogie & JaVale a call too

Sure. We’re talking about the need for a center who can play between 10-20 MPG, grab some rebounds and protect the paint a little.

What better suggestions do you have for an American competent traditional big man?
