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

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

Aw, portland spun out in the third

yeah more hum than dinger now

chuck otm

Stopped clock

false, chuck has never been skinny

and obvs the clippers are contenders

sure they are contending to lose in like the second round so yeah

i mean they might but not because theres a clipper curse

curses are real

that fuckhead shaughnessy writing books about the curse of the bambino all over tv for years then one day i guess the curse was lifted (happened to coincide with a change in ownership lol)

the owner was cursed

now theres a curse of mookie

trading away a mvp level player is a good way to get yourself cursed

the sports gods frown upon it because youre supposed to try to get mvp level players

most teams don't trade away their MVPs because they're afraid of the curse

yeah i mean it goes without saying they want to trade their mvps who wouldnt

i'm just waiting for the Clippers to win a chip so i don't have to post to this board any longer

same but the nuggets

who the fuck is scraeming "LOG OFF" at my house. show yourself, coward. i will never log off

last night they finally gave us what weve been asking for: point zion, and he destroyed a very good defensive team

he’s so good at keeping his dribble for a guy his size

i love how simple he keeps it i mean if you can just get low and drive past ben simmons why not

Baseball was better when the Red Sox and Cubs were cursed. There was a magic to it. Does anything in sports really compare now? The Browns sort of have it but that was the “Cleveland sports curse” that the cavs ended

all of the currently 'cursed' nba teams deserve it tbh

indy and utah are the only two that come to mind as having put in a good effort over the past few decades but not getting there

the buffalo bills? ppl don’t consider them cursed per se but they’ve had a really depressing run since losing all those super bowls. kinda turning around now tho

blazers are cursed since taking oden

in that case, can someone curse the Timberwolves?

basketball doesnt have curses only baseball is ancient and stupid enough to have curses

Bills also had the music city miracle happen to them

The Bills rock, extremely cool team to be a fan of imo

tables might disagree

i take it back the wolves are cursed

Alex Rodriguez and partner Marc Lore are nearing minority stakes with the Minnesota Timberwolves, with plan to take control of the franchise in two years under mentorship of Glen Taylor. Statement from A-Rod and Lore: pic.twitter.com/nFDIhil5ra

what must it feel like to have to put our pr content like that, jesus

what the fuck

yeeah

A-Rod knows how to talk to rich white sports owners.

KG got screwed

kg is too cool to own a team you need a real reptile like arod

i guess if a-rod must buy a team he deserves nothing better than the timberwolves
