    As of right now he reminds me of a Lamar Odom without a jump shot. Eventually he'll get a jump shot. His passing ability, speed and ability to get the rim is crazy. I hope he goes to Lakers because that seems like the best fit for him to me.

    He's being Byron Scotted.

    @Squid What happened to the Bucks man? I think it was a good move to give Middleton his money, but it seems like the Knight/MCW trade & losing Zaza/Illyasova/Jared Dudley have all been losses on their end.

    I already gave up all hope for them this season. They've been going downhill since they lost Knight :emoji_slight_frown:
    At least we beat Golden State, though, so we have something I guess.

    If you watched the LSU-Kentucky game, you might have saw a guy by the name of Tim Quarterman steal the show. He almost had a triple-double. His game mirrors Ben Simmons, and he has a better jump shot. He just isn't as fast. He's going to be good in the NBA and he's going to be a steal for a NBA team.

    Lot of spacing issues IMO and too many guys who play the same position. Idk why they try featuring Giannis & MCW so much on offense, Jabari can easily get 15-20 ppg.

    Derrick almost added Henson to his hit list last night. He's gonna get a slam soon, I can feel it.


    Highlights from last night.

    That layup @ :47 :whew:

    So the Blazers played without CJ McCollum tonight for probably the dumbest reason I've ever heard.... They accidentally put him on the inactive list lmao, what a stupid and weird mistake. Imagine if this had actually been an important game for a relevant team. Jeez, just incredibly stupid, don't know how something like that can happen in the pros.

    d--- Stephen A is excited on him. :sweatt:

    But yeah I haven't seen too many highlights of Ben Simmons actually shooting to ball. It's probably something he need to work on, but he seems like a pretty selfless basketballer and would rather dish it off to someone else who has a better chance of scoring. I heard somewhere that he prefers making assists than scoring.

    Important thing with him is not to get too ahead of yourself with expectations. The LeBron comparison is with a 18 y/o Bron, not the one we know today. Basically his ceiling can be LeBron-like, at the worst he's Lamar Odom (minus the off the court s---).

    Yea he's probably our best player. Never more apparent then on a night like tonight where Isaiah basically blows that 10 point lead by himself(playing hero ball).

    I honestly can't stand this Turner/Thomas back court, both guys need the ball and are pretty useless w/o it.

    I just want Bradley and Smart to both be healthy at once. All year one has been hurt and then the other goes down right after they get back.

    They've missed a lot of layups too and we've done a good job of coverting them into easy points.

    C's are puking all over themselves like they seem to every time they play in a nationally televised game. They remind me of the Bengals...

    Pathetic 3rd quarter...

    caught the 4th quarter of that game... definitely has been killin it as of late. don't think this recent surge is enough to get him in over the rest of the east backcourt but we'll see. definitely a chance tho.
