The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Night

Bulls should have started double teaming when be had 65. I jumped in the game late but they didnt double or trap not a once that I saw

If I was a Bulls player on the court I might woumd have just called an audible and threw some diff looks defensively

Strength In Numbers looking really accurate.

Welp held Luka under 40 points. I’ll take it. Still tricked the game away though. If wemby or scoot not the light at the end of this tunnel… I can’t take much more of this.

Donovan Mitchell’s career is crazy. His rookie year he looked like the next Wade. Then he became the most inefficient star player in the league to the point where you wondered if Gober was the more valuable asset. Now he’s balling in Cleveland and just scored 71 points.

Good for him.

Which one of y'all is this?

Which is why folks that be pressed to do cross generation comparisons need to chill.

There’s been 70+ scored in every decade but the 80s the past 50 years but now we need rule changes?

Anyone that knew ball and watched jazz games (I know y’all didn’t besides the occasional playoff game or primetime matchup), would know that Donovan was extremely limited in Utah offensively due to scheme and personnel. No longer having a net negative offensive player like Gobert packed in the paint and having garland in the backcourt makes his life a helluva a lot easier. He also doesn’t have to be the only offensive creator on the team, like he was in Utah outside of jordan clarkson.. And those two would hardly ever share the court together

People didn’t really watch Donovan like that through an entire season but as a jazz fan I did. He’s been this player since his 3rd year in the league to keep it a buck

EDIT - Everyone else beat me to it.

You absolutely hate to see Gobert catching strays

the coaching in Utah is terrible. didn't really help Donovan designating him more like any other player on the team rather than the captain. then there's Gobert.

The fraud he's been every year in the playoffs combined with him pretty much single handedly torpedoing the Wolves this season.

For him to still have defenders is some wild stuff.

The only people who thought Gobert was better or more valuable were fans who watch the game thru spreadsheets, and a bunch of racist jazz fans that were upset that Don was an outspoken black athlete

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Very Lebronesque story there

 

[Coupé It]

Can’t believe those corny Texans made Luka dress like that on Christmas then had him carry around a whip

Texas realllllly is that different.
