What's up with him playing hot potato with the ball before shooting FT's?


LOL.

DJ...I’ve got no clue. Something is up with his head.

Buter was 4th on the Sixers last night in scoring.....wonder how long he'll be okay with that for?

If they’re winning, I think he’s going to be fine putting up 15-20. He’s going to have nights where he goes off. It’s just a matter of time.

I think we’re going to see Fultz’s value slowly increase. He’s not starting anymore and I think he’ll have more leeway to just be himself coming off the bench. As much as everyone said Fultz was a perfect fit for Philly, I’m not sure he can play alongside Simmons.

Yeah, I hope so.

He could use a change of scenery.

I don't like shitting on kids.

But, the pressure on the team to succeed is much higher with the Butler acquisition.

I think Toronto and Boston are better. But, it isn't by a margin that can't be overcome by simply building chemistry.

Come playoff time, I'd probably go with TJ over Markelle.

Gonna buy a new tupperware package and take it to my sister's......

Him and Ball both.


They might develop better on a bottom feeder where they can play and get better without being under the microscope on a good team.

 

[DJ]

Both kids are gonna make mistakes....

As long as they are winning.

He has to be ecstatic right now.

He's going to get paid and he has 2 young studs with that dog in him that he wanted.

I don't think he has any problems.

 

[DJ]

He's a solid HC, no?

 

[DJ]

It's the same team.

They basically replaced Biyombo with a younger, bigger, better version of himself in Bamba.

But, the same.

I think the answer is obvious.

Their young guys are a year better, healthier and they underachieved most of last year.

We'll, except those two games they came back from 20 plus points down against LeBron and the Cavs.

They did pretty well those games.

Don't take the bait.

They added Simmons from SA and Augustin....those 2 are key players for them. Vets who can stabilize the youth movement.

 

[DJ]

NM

Augustin has been there 3 years.....

 

[DJ]

Always liked Augustin, he's a quick guy and can play well.....he just needs the PT.

Only started 242 pf 742 career games.

 

[DJ]

Ordered a Grande blonde at Starbucks.....they gave me a Venti on accident.....


I'm all juiced and jacked up......

Yes, but he has slow on both ends of the court.

Augustine cooked Hart too.

But, at least Hart got a little bit back on the offensive end.

He can't give you 0 point efforts.

Yeah, that's the drawback of not looking for his shot. With Lebron on the team, he needs to look for his shot at least a little more so that they can take full advantage when teams look to slow Lebron.

Theoretically, looking to score more, should eventually lead to actually scoring more. He's never going to put up the scoring numbers of the score first point guards, that would actually be a detriment to what the Lakers are looking to do. But, he's got to be able to give them something on that end.

He was always going to be the one to struggle the most to find his place next to Lebron because he doesn't look to score. I think he has this season (or most of it) to try to figure it out. If not, then I think the Lakers will probably look to move him.

He and Lebron seem to fit best when Lonzo is running the point because Lebron is a great scorer and Lonzo is a great passer. He's had some amazing feeds to Lebron.

It becomes a problem though, when Lebron is running the offense because Lonzo, while he has shown improvement, just isn't a strong scorer and spends most of the time on the perimeter watching or just keeping the ball moving rather than being aggressive.

Him and Ball both.

Yep.

Lonzo's biggest issue is that he plays next to a guy who does everything he does well, better.

Now, you don't give Lonzo away.

But, if he gets you a better fitting piece, yeah.

Fultz needs a change of scenery.

Because of where he was picked, people over scrutinize every hitch in his shooting motion.

That pump fake free throw isn't doing him any favors either.

Phoenix, Cleveland a team with lower exposure would be better.

Shit, he could go to the Clippers.

Nobody would ever notice him there....lol

Alright. I haven’t been as active on the board this season but if I’m around, I’m probably down.
