6/10/8 was Lonzo's line from last night but you'd think he'd had a quadruple double from all the headlines

Its pretty good for someone in like their fourth game.

I'm gonna be the earnest Lonzo defender, seems like an underserved niche and a chance to make Rick mad

My problem with Lonzo isn't Lonzo it's all the hype around him, which isn't his fault obviously.

I responded to like all of last page about how Brooklyn's good but I accidentally delete the post oops

Short story is here:
http://stats.nba.com/teams/traditional/?sort=PTS&dir=1
Number 1 points per game most exciting team in the NBA: Nets then Warriors then the teams the Nets have played
Number 30 the New York Knicks

(if you adjust for per possessions Nets are like 6th and Knicks stay 30th)

For sure. They're young, play hard and there's the D'Lo redemption arc.

As a Raptors fan I'm slightly salty about Demarre Carroll actually looking like an NBA player for them. I know that their offense fits him better, but I'm not entirely blind, he looked busted as gently caress for the last two years along with not fitting great in Toronto. What happened? I'm having a real hard time accepting that just a change of scenery suddenly made him remember how to play basketball, but here we are.

Casey is a bad coach who doesn't utilize his players well.

It's really really good for a 19 year old rookie. And just being a 19 year old rookie is already like a 70% shot at being a pretty good player:

Niko really loves the Bulls for some reason and Portis might have to be traded. Although I can't think of many teams who would want him

RCarr posted:

Can't believe John Wall is the first man ever to exaggerate perceived contact at the buzzer. He should be banned from the league imo.

:rolleyes: Lonzo was BEHIND him, standing completely still while Wall developed momentary ataxia. It was absolutely ridiculous looking. Don't be obtuse my man

Are you trying to say, with a straight face, that you've never seen anyone do this before? You've never seen someone flail to try to draw contact when his defender is behind him? Come on.

It's obviously ridiculous looking, I'm not denying that. Just don't act like it's something crazy that doesn't happen all the time.

Dwayne Casey doesn't understand or absolutely hates reliable big rotations which means Poeltl will be sitting for no reason behind 35 minute JV games with Siakam as his backup. Bebe will become healthy, come back and get a decent statline for 5 minutes off the bench, then inexplicably be starting ahead of JV for the next 5 games.

My post sarcastically says he was the first person to ever do that and then you attacked me for it. I never said it didn't look ridiculous, or anything along those lines. How else was I supposed to interpret your post?

They let all the offense run through him so he'll get assists on their made shots, but he shot 2/11. Last game he shot 3/13, the first game he shot 1/6, and even the outlier game where the Suns gave up and let him have free points, he only shot 44%. The flaw that people saw with him coming in still seems to be there in spades. He's plenty young, but that shot as it exists is ugly and janky and he deserves to be missing so many of his attempts. I think it's still an open question whether he can figure out how to shoot a basketball.

The point is I never said anything about him being the first person to do it so I'm not sure what you were commenting on or want to continue on about, if you agree that it was ridiculous looking then we've agreed the whole time :) Basketball builds bridges

Also when did I attack you, you responded to me with unrelated sarcasm and I said... nothing mean in response? Asked you to stop being obtuse? Ouch
