Do we know the Jazz starting lineup yet?

 

[nuraman00]

What would you say is the difference between Wembanyama and David Robinson? Or any other similar player you might compare him to?

 

[nuraman00]

What's your Jazz wins goal, and what is your prediction?

 

[nuraman00]

Are we going to come up with a nickname, for the frontcourt as a whole? Or just refer to them by their individual names?

 

[nuraman00]

Wembanyama has some versatility on offense.

I think he's playing too much on the perimeter.

He's not rebounding that much.

Nor doing that much on defense.

Someone that tall, should average at least 2 blocks a game, and get more rebounds. Should shoot 56%+ from the field.

He's spending too much time dribbling and doing step backs.

Yes, he's only 19. Some of the other really tall centers I've compared him to, were older when they first played, and were more ready to be a defensive presence.

A kid at a Rockets game makes a FT for charity.

They ask him who his favorite player is: James Harden.

He must have been a fan for at least 4 years, or maybe at least 3 and a few months.

I think he was a ten year old.

What team is this from this year?

Spoiler: No defense.

Atlanta Hawks

So close to that box score we’ve looked for: Pacers 157-152 Hawks (Nov 21, 2023) Box Score - ESPN

I can't believe I've never watched any of these large runs. I don't remember watching those games.

Pacers, Wizards?

Ok, that's dumb. When I quote you, I see what's hidden in the spoiler.

I don't think I've ever seen a box score where both teams shoot 60%+. Wow.

Want to hear something stupid I thought for a second?

Spoiler: No.

Ok, fine.

Spoiler: Yes.

I saw New Orleans uniforms and thought that maybe they said NOLA because that’s how New Orleans was pronounced when said with an accent like N’Orleans; obviously, it is for New Orleans, Louisiana, I was just talking about a nickname and not really a southern drawl.

I like these posts. It wasn't stupid, because there was a good reason behind your thinking.

The Detroit Pistons are leading the Boston Celtics.

The Detroit Pistons won a game against the Toronto Raptors in 2023.
