I hope this was a play for Barton that he couldn't get the ball to him and not a brain fart.

He was definitely supposed to hit Barton for the corner three in the play design but the defense snuffed it out. Once that option was gone though he was fukked, especially since he picked up his dribble. They wouldn't have had time to get into another shot anyway. That's either on coaching or just credit to the defense.

I don't know what it is about his handle, but he gets by people with ease. It's like he luls defenders to sleep, and boom, he's around them.

It's his size....He's 240 The only other wing that weighs more than him is Lebron.

When you watch him, he gets cut off sometimes but he just bulldozes his way either to the rim or he just does a one leg floater. He's impossible to stop :yeshrug:

@Gil Scott-Heroin Jrue & Demar being this high is surprising to me.

My boy Dame has made the leap. I am not surprised about Jrue. One of the hardest covers in the NBA. His issue is all about handling doubles and adv schemes but 1v1, that dude is a nightmare. Kinda like Bledsoe but smarter, skill and can shoot.

When you look at the volume of possessions (Jrue and DeRozan v. Harden), it puts it into perceptive:

Jrue is surprising, but DeRozan's always been near the top; it's only been 20 games too, so the #s and players will regulate over the course of the season given the scale of possessions of all players, not named Harden.

This was from last season:

I guess this really speaks more to the Rockets method of offense than anything else, as when the playoffs hit, Harden drops in percentile to a far greater degree than any other player, which needless to say is way their one-dimensional offense always ends up fumbling the ball outta bounds in the postseason.

He posted his merch website after scoring 4 points, rightfully getting killed on twitter. Those Clarkson comparisons might not be fair off although Clarkson was never annoying
"I had an awesome dream last night that Kuzma played good defense for the first time in his Lakers life. But then I woke up"

"I mean can we just get 30% effort on defense Kuz"

"If I see someone wearing this it’s fade on sight"

"The discount is the number he’s shooting from the field “30%”"

"Bruh, you’re dropping 4 pts, thus, we’ll require 90% off."

"Mans thinks his the shyt cause his 1-0 vs the trade deadline another ones coming up lol"

"Is there a “jersey assurance program” like Fanatics when LeBron trades you in Feb?"

It was all good a year ago when media was scapegoating zo and BI, now that its obvious they were superior to him bullseye on this bum
