part two of the nba 2020-21 anything but regular season

they played stanford and beat them

nice

I really need to start checking out some of these guys in high school games now that MN is consistently producing great recruits

Chet Holmgren is crazy, his arms look too long to be real

I walk my dog past Minnehaha Academy where him and Suggs went and never bothered to go 😕

I read some scout saying that Holmgren is the best shotblocker he’s ever seen at the high school level

Poll: Blocks vs. steals

holmgren is a crazy good basketball player hes got the juice

he's so skinny it's wild. he's like if you crossed brandon ingram w/ shawn bradley?

“what if bol bol were good?” is a prospect hitting the matt armstrong bullseye

yeah the skinniness and altogether very slight frame is the only thing that gives me pause about him

lonzo is coming on nicely this season. now at 39% on threes on 8 attempts. that's... really good.

Yeah why aren’t the pelicans good

no defense

young players == no defense

you know whos been looking good on the pelicans is nickeil alexander-walker

but hes very young theyre young its gonna take them a minute to figure out "wining ways", zion has still only played 68 nba games

Lonzo/Ingram/Zion banged up, Hart out for the season. But they have won 7 of 12.

they have a positive point differential and one thats really close to the blazers which probably means they arent good at closing games. the blazers have dame time to close and the pels are still trying to figure out who should get the ball to close games

still think they make the playoffs but yes, they still need more time in the oven and a run of uninjured playing time for their core

i mean, it was etched in stone that he was getting this contract the minute they traded all those picks for him. but they're buying in before there's proof of concept

did they learn nothing from extending bledsoe way before they needed to and before they got to see him perform in the playoffs?

Jaxson Hayes always flashes when I watch them, wouldn’t give up on him that’s for sure

yeah cld see him being a solid roll man/rim protector type, just has to "figure it out"

jaxson hayes def at the top of my board for the next wave of 12 mpg centers hanging onto the fringes of the NBA who matt thinks are borderline all stars

lmao

re the pels: looks like both Josh Hart and Alexander-Walker are likely to be out for a few games

i think spottie was otm up thread about the pels and close games, they’ve blown a bunch of 4th quarter leads this year

"James Wiseman says he talks to KD "every day" for advice and to learn more about the Warriors’ system"

:(

oof

KD seems to have too much time on his hands

lol my god

i read that quote and did like a triple take to make sure it was THAT kd

maybe he means he likes KD’s posts

smh

extremely weird

everything about kd is so weird

Wiseman even said “...work on my craft” which is straight from the Kyrie and KD quote book

They probably just talk about how much of a pain in the ass Draymond is.

/kerr

yeah love the idea of kd poisoning the well re: kerr

i think i just straight up dislike KD now, i think i want to see him lose

I really hope he gets the therapy he clearly needs but yeah he’s a villain

remember when he won mvp and gave an hour long press conference emotionally thanking everyone? his public persona and reputation have... shifted.

Wiseman needs to lose that number.

Jamie please lose that number

IT2 playing again!

8 straight points for @isaiahthomas 💪 pic.twitter.com/orEMVultsT
