I’m going to enjoy watching Dame do this nightly on a good team instead of a bad one.

theres this funny thing called the game clock. and if it runs out and your team has more points, you win the game. so sometimes taking a lot of time from that game clock is a better strategy than taking a normally good shot. hope this helps.

Yeah just kinda seems like you'd put up a real shot in a 4 point game

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
I would say the refs would never reverse that but it was the same call on Embiid.

I think he thought* Beasley would shoot given how much the defender was sagging off.

I feel like if I'm a bucks fan I feel good about Dame looking nice but a little concerned that it came down to the wire against the harden-less sixers team on a bad Embiid night.

100% chalking it up to figuring out how to live on the floor together and both getting use to not being #1 at all times.

The times Giannis was driving the paint and then if the defense collapsing finding Dame looked real good. And if they didn't collapse, knowing when to take what they give you. Going to be a learning curve on the "I aint got to do it all"

I think like all but 3 Sun's points are a result of Josh Okogie creating a second chance point.

Noblest of all dogs is the hot-dog; it feeds the hand that bites it.
From team USA to the Lakers, every opponent just hunts reaves on defense. He seems like a real liability on that end.

he may be a better athlete, better offensively, better on defense, but could he make a jokic-esque pass?
