I like your style.
I don't want to be a snitch but Gary Trent has a prominent Spalding basketball logo on his shoulder. The NBA uses Wilson.

Basically he has a tattoo of "LF" because his middle name is "LaFrance" and because LF was his favorite subforum. After already having the tattoo, he started a clothing brand also called LaFrance, and because he can't have a tattoo of a commercial property the league is making him cover it up.

What bullshit. It's not like Netflix paid him to get a Netflix tattoo. It's his middle name.

The Bulls should be embarrassed of that finish.

Also I put money on the Pels just because of the power of the court.

are really good but it scares me that Fox had to score 42 and Huerter had to have a great game to beat the Spurs.

Of the Monk/Barnes/Huerter/Murray tier, generally they need 2 of the 4 to play well to win. This season it's mostly been just 1 of the 4 or even 0 of the 4. So yeah, Fox has been needing to go nuclear at time. Sabonis is being more assertive which is also good.

The depth behind them hasn't been great either. Davion fell out of the rotation in favor of an undrafted dude on a 2 way. Sasha is nice but getting limited minutes, probably because Brown doesn't 100% trust him yet. Chris Duarte looks like a generic rotation wing. Javale is Javale and is still playing because Alex Len got hurt.

They definitely looked like a really good team when they beat 3 good teams in a row. But tonight showed that the supporting cast can still have a real stinker of a night

Huerter did look really good recently and showed some surprising BBIQ with the ball in his hands. But if he goes through those hot and cold cycles again I do wonder if Monte goes YOLO and calls about Lavine


edit - That probably sounds more doom and gloom than I meant to. To balance that, Huerter seemingly broke through his early cold streak and had some great games and displaying more playmaking ability in the DHO scenarios and he's getting way more deflections than last year. Murray has been bad offensively but he's been making defensive plays and has been our designated stopper. Defensively, the team has looked way better than last year. Barnes is the only player who is really stinking up the joint to the point of concern.

Agree with all of this. Fox and Sabonis are the only sure things on the team and that is my biggest concern. For better or worse, I feel like Huerter is the barometer of the team. He has been playing really hard the last few games and when he does that, his defense is great and his shots fall. When that doesn't work, he doesn't stop much and throws up desperation shots.

Also, I have become the biggest Sasha fan because he is the biggest change on the team other than time. If he plays well, the team is just better, but he has not had a really good game yet.

How did he miss so many threes so badly in one game lol

It's so funny that one season of roughly league average shooting and early career proximity to two of the greatest 3pt specialists of all time has given this man the ultimate green light from behind the arc in his own mind
