With the quality of defense being played today, I wonder what team and group of players will be saying what Rasheed said 10-15 years from now.

 

[lawdog1]

Just start the Finals tomorrow. The world needs it.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Am I the only one that doesn't think Josh Giddey is good enough to land you Deni Avdija by himself?

I def don't think so.

Deni looking like very good 3 and d guy.

giddey is tall and can pass and that's it.

Not everything that Goodell and the shield does needs to be copied/followed man

Day 2 ratings are gonna rival the Lumberjack games

WNBA discourse is a super toxic mix.

You have online trolls and grifters trying to play up the race angle.
and you have other pop feminist influencers trying to play up the sexism angle.
and you have misogynists trying to roll with the women hating angle.

combines race war and gender war, the two most toxic online discourse communities.

I would argue it’s all irrelevant on the grand scheme of things. Happy for the growth though

He’s a good rebounder, which is something they were missing against Dallas with him on bench. He just isn’t really playable with someone as ball dominant as Shai (and JDub to a much lesser extent) since he can’t shoot.

Deni is a much better fit for what they need.

Giddey probably in-turn would be a good fit for DC. Get Jordan Fool off the ball more.

I think he's tall and gets rebounds because he's tall.

Do I think he's some super intense guy whose gunna go up and win contested rebounds in a playoff series?

Nah.

Clearly daignault didn't think so either.

I think its a goofy move but they'll probably still profit by stretching it to two days and that's all that matters so I guess it won't be that goofy

those silver jerseys

Nice. I swore I thought these were the ones The Diddler designed

Folk tuning in day two for Bronny.

Not if he goes Day 1

Lakers local broadcast team member James Worthy said on a radio show I was listing g to this morning that he could see the Show taking Bronny at 17.

Not a snowball's chance in hell.

 

[HIM]

If Bron tells them to draft Bronny, they’ll draft Bronny. It just comes down to whether he wants that to happen.

 

[dontsteponmyshoes]

Bronny at the draft

2/3 of these are right though..

Steph not top 10 and Steph not generational.

The pistons one doesn’t make sense so there’s no point addressing it. Different eras different rules.

How is he not a generational player?

 

[Mark Antony]

Let me list how he was the highest paid and all his cool sponsorships then tell you how he's not marketed.

 

[brian8598]

How is he not a generational player?

Being an anatomical anomaly doesn't make you better than a "generational talent". Those guys had undeniable physical advantages and took advantage of them. Steph overcame his size and learned the skills to be an all time ball handler and shooter.

All of these guys have pretty entertaining shows, when they're not intolerably wrong, but they all have incredible biases to the time in which they played and are just as blinded by it as players and fans of every other generation. I appreciate their points of view, but they are far from the final word on any of these subjects.

 

[Mark Antony]

Caitlyn got y'all watching the WNBA? USCGC for me only still. I'll get there one day, maybe.​

Watching Coast Guard basketball is too damn far now.

Thats a horrible trade so there’s a strong chance the Wizards will actually do it, but Deni is better player than Giddey at everything except passing.
