JJJ’s block of Embiid was pretty tough as well. Some elite rim protection was on display last night. Love that shit.
How many minutes do they need to use him? If he’s only getting 10-15 minutes of run he can be as aggressive as all Fuck and still be ok with 6 fouls. If they need him for 25+ then I agree with you. Personally, I understand maximizing what AD does by using him at the 4 but (especially as benches get shorter come playoff time- and let’s face it the Lakers should already be in playoff mode) why not use him for 4-6 minutes as the 5?
What happened there? Was just casually following the score on my ESPN app. Didn’t see that thing going to OT. Saw Smart got a ticky tack Tech for shit that players do every night and it gets ignored. NBA officials have it out for certain guys with quick Ts. It seems like Marcus is in that group. Big one on Saturday night. Celtics 2-0 vs the Sixers this year. Sixers need to have a great showing or Celtics are firmly in their head should they meet in a series.
Yes, they have been running this same question, on every show, for over a week.
The Lakers before the trade would have been blown out in the 3rd.
Moses Brown is available.
Here’s that video you requested.So you're gonna be like Wiggy telling us all about that 1 time when Kevin Love played defense.
You gonna post video of it too?
Nah, another wing IMO.
Another solid option
At the same time, they’re right on schedule. It’s unrealistic to expect a young core like this to be ready to win now. You still have important pieces that need to play in their first series like Garland and Mobley. Allen Mitchell etc…you could also argue they need further “seasoning” as playoff performers. Mitchell has had success getting his come playoff time. His goal is evolving as the kind of star that can bring the rest of the group with him and make them better.
If they get a better wing....Ham might finally give up the Brown experiment. Somebody like Barton is a better option than Brown. Brown has played well but Barton is an upgrade.
