MPJ having a pretty amazing season so far. Defense is a lot better and it seems like he’s a legit 3 point sniper

yeah hes a shooter

Yeah that’s another thing about MPJ, for all his wackiness the advances stats like him too
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 26 January 2021 19:27 (three years ago) link
Monte being better than the other guards passes the eye test too, he’s looked really good
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 26 January 2021 19:29 (three years ago) link
mpj was the top prospect in his hs class, it was just the back injury that scared teams off, if he can stay healthy hes big talent, crazy shooter

oh man wtf

interesting they would choose bledsoe but i guess his contract is gonna end sooner than lonzo's next one
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 26 January 2021 23:42 (three years ago) link
also remembering that lonzo hired klutch which has a bad relationship w/ the pelicans bcuz of brow so maybe both sides just want to be done w/ it
I still want to believe in lonzo but if you can’t make it work with Ingram and Zion idk
― Matt Armstrong, Wednesday, 27 January 2021 00:42 (three years ago) link
hes passive. prob cos he doesnt want to shoot free throws. not good.
― a nice controlled drift (Spottie), Wednesday, 27 January 2021 00:46 (three years ago) link
lonzos a backup and its not just his shooting hes an all around bad scorer doesnt “put pressure on the rim”
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 27 January 2021 01:00 (three years ago) link
RIP Sekou, that sucks

i think lonzo can still be a helpful player on the right team, he can defend both guard spots and is a good passer... pels are one of the slowest paced teams in the league, it’s not a good fit. the problem is the salary he’s going to want
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 27 January 2021 01:34 (three years ago) link
I can’t abide these blue rockets jerseys
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 27 January 2021 01:41 (three years ago) link
you’d think with ingram, zion, and lonzo they’d figure out a way to play a little faster
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 27 January 2021 01:42 (three years ago) link
jvg might be out of date
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 27 January 2021 01:43 (three years ago) link
svg rather
yeah i remember before the season zach lowe talking about how the magic always played slow under SVG and theorizing that he would adjust w/ the pelicans to speed up the pace -- turns out no
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 27 January 2021 01:49 (three years ago) link
bledsoe also one of the fastest players in the league... the combo of steven adams + no shooting + slow pace means they're basically playing like 90s ball, pretty dumb stuff
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 27 January 2021 01:51 (three years ago) link
plus if they ran mb zion wld lose some weight
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 27 January 2021 01:57 (three years ago) link
it's just a very oddly constructed team. can't say i like anything about it.
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 27 January 2021 02:08 (three years ago) link
yeah you really want to go fast and play four out with zion instead their third best player is steven adams
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 27 January 2021 02:12 (three years ago) link
they're kinda stuck in a weird place bcuz if you played 4 out w/ zion at center you'd prob have the worst defense in the NBA, but they're still one of the 5-7 worst defensive teams as it is
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 27 January 2021 02:17 (three years ago) link
The team makes some sense on paper but the pieces don’t fit. Gentry seemed like a good fit on paper too.
― a nice controlled drift (Spottie), Wednesday, 27 January 2021 02:18 (three years ago) link
zion only has to be their center on offense tho
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 27 January 2021 02:21 (three years ago) link
like many teams they could use a floor-spacing defensive 5
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 27 January 2021 02:30 (three years ago) link
they could especially use one
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 27 January 2021 02:32 (three years ago) link
someone teach steven adams to shoot
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 27 January 2021 02:33 (three years ago) link
they're the team that needs myles turner
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 27 January 2021 02:33 (three years ago) link
turner is perfect for any team playing a big that cant defend or shoot (or in zions case, both)

Sekou Smith was a great beat writer for the Hawks back in the day. RIP

haven’t seen durant forcefully clapping for the ball at the top of the key while a teammate bricks a potential last-second shot since the OKC days, nice

harden
― k3vin k., Thursday, 28 January 2021 03:00 (three years ago) link
the springs durant still has after his achilles injury are crazy. he blocked a jump shot with about a minute left in regulation and just had a dunk that looked like it could have been from 2015. scary

Harden did the clapping thing all the time in year 3 with the dubs btw. Surprised to see he’s already doing it this early in the honeymoon phase in bklyn
