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

So many circus threes.

really nice espn doubleheader tonight KDs return vs zion and battle of top 2 seeds in the west suns vs utah

plus the added bonus of no paul pierce

that is a lot of positivity there

if zion gets the ball within 5 feet of the rim hes gonna explode towards it and it doesnt matter who is in his way he's gonna get a good look

the two biggest bulldozers in the league (adams/zion) on the same team is great i want this team to be better than it is

kd's been out so long i don't even remember what the injury was this time around

hamstring i think?

Yah

Poku is straight ballin. 7 threes so far. the thunder have so much young talent and every pick until 2030

lamarcaus and blake look pretty good...

you don't say

Huge game for Grayson Allen tonight. He’s having another rock solid season, even tho some here refuse to admit it for reasons they should examine quite frankly.

oh no what if we hurt grayson allen's feelings?

congratulations to grayson allen on achieving an average PER using the ESPN calculation but not the bbref one

im willing to thoughtfully consider grayson allen's status as a contributing bench player as soon as he goes one calendar year without intentionally tripping someone

i will never accept grayson allen, he will always be ted cruz the basketball player 2 me

you literally cant fuckin make me either, wow power move

tough but fair

Mavs lost to the Rockets and somehow allowed Kelly Olynyk to pull down 18 boards. nagl

FREE JELLY K

Xp Good look for my fantasy team, thank you red headed savior

rockets need to buy out jelly k so he can return to his natural habitat (boston celtics)

I think grayson allen is a very wonderful basketball player


for me to poop on

whoa

grayson allen is having a "rock solid season"? oooh, this sounds good! so plz, explain what does that mean?

according to sources he's a very good surface for shitting

Suns jazz was a great game. Top 3 of the season

so much fun, cp3 doing everything that makes him great. mitchell found a lot of ways to score.

CP3 tried to high five Donovan Mitchell after his missed free throw 🤣🤣😭 pic.twitter.com/CxxxCySVni

I have examined my reasons and come to the conclusion Grayson Allen is on the Mt. Rushmore of punchable faces.

chris paul will never stop being a lil bastard

Dependable, consistent two-way play

There are thousands of high school players you could say the same thing about.

it's funny that grayson ended up on the same team as dillon brooks

this conversation is starting to get a bit ridiculous but the thing about greyson is that in the aggregate his stats look ok but his play pings pretty wildly from game to game. often (to me) he does not look like a useful NBA player -- there are also games where he scores 20 points. he's more of a boom or bust bench scorer than a consistent two way player. if he was the latter he would be a starter

I really like that Grizzlies squad. All of those young dudes can play, including Allen.

slo mo is maybe the most underrated role player in the league at this point.

scrappy group for sure. ja is having a really bad season and JJJ hasnt even played and theyre in 8th

greyson allen went off tonight!

Hawks played their 5th game in 7th days.

They were missing 5 of their 8 NBA players who are 6-8 or taller.

Grayson Allen is a career 39% three point shooter who is good on defense. 🤷‍♂️

matt, nobody cares unless it involves commenting on how punchable his face is.

you can be a highly competent basketball player and everyone can also hate your guts and want you to go away, this is in no way limited to grayson allen

actually i called him "satisfyingly terrible" which is a different proposition. he's not a very efficient two point scorer nor is he particularly productive rebounding or passing. he's a great FT shooter but doesn't draw many fouls. per 36 he's putting up 15-5-3 on 42/40/90 shooting this year. you have to believe a lot in his shot as far as him being a good offensive player goes. maybe he's a true 40% three point shooter time will tell. personally i don't trust his game, i've seen too many games where he's out of control, inefficient, turning the ball over, committing fouls etc. he's athletic enough to be a good defender and has a good rate of steals this season. the idea that he's a consistent and dependable player, i don't see that in his stats. he's very much a player who looks good in the eye of the beholder -- i am not a beholder

I said he was a “rock solid backup” at the end of the season last year, I was right about that, you continue to stomp your feet about it like you did with the 2011 draft. Leave that shit in the 2010s man.

well i think there's only one person itt stomping their feet right now

he's the sort of player who could win the grizzlies a playoff game (he won duke a national title) but also get three straight DNPs in a series because he can't score efficiently or play defense w/o fouling, could also get suspended for intentionally tripping someone, kicking them in the nuts etc

He has one of the lowest foul rates on the team in terms of fouls per 48

Grayson's own politics appear to be not at all Ted Cruz-like, I am sorry to report (based on his twitter account anyway)

This jazz/blazers game has been a humdinger
