The Assists Thread

Are you going to post about Trae Young in this thread, this year?

Yeah, let’s trade Exum for him straight up.

If Dennis Lindsey did that, he would be the Best General Manager in the Mountain Time Zone.

Did you think I was going to say Best General Manager In Sports?

 

[nuraman00]

Trae Young with 49 points, 16 assists, 9 turnovers.

Waiting for @MHSL82 to tell me the last time that's happened, if ever.

 

[nuraman00]

This was a 4 OT game too.

I had no idea there had been others in NBA history.

NBA Games with the Most Overtimes

I generally don't like smaller guards, especially ones that aren't physical and can't defend as well.

I prefer the John Wall / Shai Gilgeous Alexander type, to the Trae Young / Steph Curry type of games.

But, I'm happy for Trae Young. I haven't seen him play a NBA game yet, but I see he has several high assist games.

When the Hawks are on national TV more often, I will try to watch him and give him a chance. Young doesn't really have anything annoying about him, right now.

I know this falls under the “what else is he supposed to say?“ category, but one of the only things I have heard him say is that both Dallas and Atlanta were winners of the draft day trade.

Again, you’re supposed to say that, but also Ben Simmons is supposed to say something better about Donovan Mitchell and his rookie race. So just like you said that he isn’t annoying, yet, I appreciate Young saying the right things. I will give him the benefit of the doubt to assume he means it.

I have not checked yet, but I think Chris Paul passed Isaiah Thomas for seventh place on the all-time assists list tonight. He was only three assists away.

LeBron James will pass Gary Payton later this year possibly for 8th place. He is 70 away with over 15 games left. But they may shut them down at some point.

Vince Carter just passed Wilt. Jeff Teague needs 110 assists to get in the top 100. He averages 8.1 assists per game. Will he make it? I am not sure because I don’t know if he is injured or not.

That's the wrong guy.

Isaiah = the guy drafted 60th overall in 2011.

Isiah = the guy drafted 2nd in 1981.

Yeah, I didn’t catch that when I did my speech recognition.

 

[nuraman00]

Can speech recognition handle homophones in general?

 

[MHSL82]

Can speech recognition handle homophones in general?

They can handle heterophones, biphones, transphones, etc. so I don’t see why not? ‍

It took me a while to get that one. I was about to look up what a biphone was.

Quiz Question:

Which player who played in this year's playoffs, said this? "An assist makes two people happy. A point makes one person happy."

That Denver guy who had like 14 or 18 assists the other night. I like him as a player because of his passing.

I tried to be vague but you still got it. Jokic didn't have 14 or 18 assists, he had single digits. But he's capable of double digits on any night.

Wow, it was 7 days ago: Nuggets vs. Trail Blazers - Box Score - May 3, 2019 - ESPN

 

[nuraman00]

That box score is funny. It thinks they scored 35 points in overtime. That was across 4 OTs.

You must like the 56th all-time leader in assists, with 5,248, Karl Malone. Which is a relief. Because sometimes, I don't know if you like him.

Hey! He’s my second favorite player!! And he is totally fine with that.
