[buc em]

One of the things that scouts also raved about with RJ was his passing ability. He’s averaging 2 APG and has zero assists in 3 out of his last 4 games.Dude has had some ******* BRUTAL games for any player let alone a top 3 pick

Some of his shooting just over the last two and a half weeks...

3/12 for 7 points, 1 assist and 2 turnovers in 36 mins vs the Nuggets
3/10 vs Suns
3/12 vs Blazers
2/10 vs Nets
1/10 vs Heat

Over the last 5 games he has 3 assists while having 13 turnovers....

I know they talked about it but I didn’t buy in on RJ’s playmaking especially not as a rookie.

it was more so he showed glimpses every few games but he always had black hole signs

 

[amitt5504]

So basically we saying RJ is the Canadian Tony Wroten?

 

[dacomeup]

Regardless of record, that Knicks' team last night was the worst team I've watched all year.

Regardless of record, that Knicks' team last night was the worst team I've watched all year.

I’ve watched a handful of Warriors games, even a couple without D-Lo and Draymond, and yes that Knicks team last night takes the cake. These dudes that signed with the Knicks this past summer did this to themselves though. Almost all of them could be awesome role players for contenders right now but they either thought they could just show out on the Knicks for a little bit and improve their value, just wanted to live in NYC or they wanted the liiittle bit more cash they were offering. These guys are rich either way, but it can’t be enjoyable being miserable doing your profession in front of thousands of fans every night.

RJ was never worthy of being a top 5 pick.

 

[mr s j king]

So glad I went to the November Mavs Lakers game
I figured either AD or LeBron would be hurt or load managing for the January game and I was right

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

It's a team sport . Those guys all played with stars and superstars in their primes. Melo didn't. Was LeBron NOT supposed to win with Wade and Bosh? Was Kobe not supposed to win with Shaq or Gasol?

Also funny how on that list you posted, 2 of the other 9 players were his teammates. Najera wouldn't even be on the list of players who played in 50+ playoff games if not for Melo.

There's a reason a guy like melo never had those kinda teammates. A player like him can only take you so far as a #1 and he was never willing to be a #2. Even now he wasn't willing to come off the bench for a contender which is why he ended up on a desperate Portland team. This kinda thing isn't coincidental. Great players win rings for a reason

I'm willing to bet someone is gonna do an MJ inspired dunk at the dunk contest

Yea, I can see the throwback MJ Jersey switch now......B O R I N G.

 

[B Sox]

Knowing what you did about RJ’s skill set when you drafted him, you couldn’t have surrounded him with a less complementary cast if you tried.

 

[WASHED KING]

Glad Lonzo is piecing things together. Looks like the man is finally getting his confidence back.

 

[pmatic]

 

[trynafeelmink]

Good sign that he's cleared to go on the road trip even if he doesn't play. could have been much worse.

 

[squatchnt]

Load management is cool but the **** needs to come out of their check unless its due to medical advice.

you don’t have PTO?

 

[squatchnt]

This ain't about me, people don't pay to watch me work.

 

[shotsrangout]

what’s your point

 

[squatchnt]

what’s your point

That was the point.

 

[getback]

The analogy would probably work for teachers. They get the summer off and PTO like NBA players.

Ha...I wish I could load manage my classroom.

Teachers don't actually get the summer off . They get like a week break and then have to show up for meetings and other bs

It must depend on the age group, because I have a friend who teaches the 3rd grade and that dude gets another FT job in the summer to stack on his teacher salary.
