Jerry Stackhouse used to be on the Raptors coaching staff. He left when he felt shafted we promoted Nick Nurse ahead of him. Then we won the championship… against the Golden State Warriors…

Other night in Nola, lucky to say have seen Bron do this live many times, from regular szn games, playoffs, and Finals games, the end is near tho!

 

[lynchpin33]

He was talking bold like he really believed that nonsense he told us several years ago. Me and Bron mutually decided it was time to part ways. Obviously, now that he is back in their circle he’s forgetting himself. Bron had to remind him of himself apparently.

Ty Jerome really might be a rotational guy

Teague been heavy and early on the Kenny Atkinson wave. Talking about Ty Jerome, and how the GSW stint that Kenny and him had…led to what we see today @14 min mark



The guy can play. He was going crazy against the dubs a few weeks ago. firstclass & thekillerj23

De'aaron Fox is in season 8 and is playing the best ball of his life. Thats why I always feel like we should judge players based off age instead of seasons played. Most ball players are going to play they best ball from the ages of 26-33ish. Part of the reason why we should be patient with young players but also not overhype them either.

Jalen Williams is playing like a top 10 player in the league.

21/6/5 with 1 block and 2 steals a game on 51/40/80 is crazy.

Time really flying dawg. Fox don’t seem like a dude that’s been in the NBA for 8 SEASONS . You telling me that the Lavar era was a decade ago? Insane. Felt like yesterday for real. Triple B’s

But I feel you 1000%. That’s the way it SHOULD be. But a certain someone changed the narrative, and seasons played became the metric. Age 26-32 seasons are players LEGIT prime. You see them at their best, here. And it’s been proven forever. All the best win around this age.

I’m actually very impressed by cp3 btw. To be a 40 year old PG that’s still can start, contribute to winning and be effective at 6ft is insane.

Fox was a 20 PPG guy year 3. Usually about the time it takes for a PG to show you everything you need is year 3 with exceptions like billups

Time is ticking, Scoot

Adding DDR helped. He didnt necessarily improve in anything he was doing already. Much less attention now and overall more freedom against worse defenders.

For this to even be a thing that people thought was possible is insane to me

 

[HIM]

I keep seeing his teammates being blamed but he plays such a heliocentric style of basketball that his teammates are always going to suffer. If Jokic doesn't have the ball in his hands 99% of possessions, he doesn't know what to do. They got away with it the one year they played nothing but 6th and 8th seeds, but Denver is slowly realizing that you can't win with that heliocentric style of play.

Must be nice to get legit injury updates straight from the team. The Clippers should try that.

 

[WASHED KING]

This season and this season only

Fox/shai/Curry

Brunson/luka/lamelo/trae

Whaaaaaaat!? You mean drafting reclassified 18 yo's to be the face of your team and make an immediate impact ain't the way

 

[worldbeefreeg]

Prime is certainly not above 30, especially in the modern NBA.

I'd say prime is really probably between 25-28 for most guys.

 

[antidope]

Finally some standards. Wild that it had to come from the franchise that retired a jersey of a guy who didn't play there

He’s looked great. Team has a lot of solid pieces.

 

[ballinsam23]

On the projected best team in the league? Easily are.
