Jaylen doesn’t like being given the basket/dunk, needs to earn it?

I like ja's shot selection and he seems to have more control over his body when driving to the rim

Pause, I think?

Really don't see the Grizzlies being able to dig themselves out of the hole. Lakers got very fortunate several teams tanked to go with them winning at a high clip after the bad start last season. Don't see that happening this season.

 

[ill steelo]

season definitely not over — if they underperform these next 10 games, will be difficult though.

But, 40-17 or 35-22 are attainable (just won 1 of those games). They’ve hit 11 game win streaks in late Dec - thru January the last two seasons. Very possible, but need some luck and most importantly health.

The Rockets are young & you can almost count on Zion missing time at some point, but unfortunately you can say the same thing about Ja. He’s an acrobat and that has historically come at a cost.

A lottery pick wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world if it comes to that.

I mean one guy is 34 and the other is 24

Ja look stronger and just as fast.

League in trouble if he stay hungry and injury/gun free

Cs playing dudes that haven’t seen the court in like a month

Still may have an outside shot with the amount of games left. Smart and Kennard should be back soonish too.

Ja gonna be the best player on the floor in most games.

They gonna have to play around .700 ball the rest of the way to get to ~42-43 wins.

They already lost Clark and Adams and given Ja's recent history the last few years he's likely gonna miss some games as well.

EYE don't see IT.

This is how I know you don’t hoop

I don't see none of the top 8 in the west dropping out. That lottery pick would be good for Grizz and the warriors should be preparing for the lottery too. Suckas.

You don't think Bron or Steph woulda been ready? They 40 and 35.

 

[headdetective]

I don’t think Minnesota will sustain and will end up a 4-6 seed

Those are 2 GOATS. and they aren’t ever putting themselves in the position harden routinely has.

Shout outs to Ja. Stay out of the news man. Fox needs a rival

Ok so being prepared matters.

They got nearly the same counting stats and their teams are a game apart.

 

[jpzx]

No seriously nice job knocking the ball out of bounds

 

[jpzx]

Good job players

Is Fox winning the chip too? Sheesh.

Sounds like a rival then no?
