*stephen a voice* i need to address this jaylen brown has no left hand meme

The drives from Boston are going to be key for them, nice work from Jaylen Brown to drive left and finish. pic.twitter.com/hBBvZw25tk

feel like this video is illustrative of whats really going on, jaylens handle can be a little loose at times but he a guy who gets to the rim a lot the man can dribble at the very least enough to be a very effective three level scorer, with both hands even, hes was 13th in the league in scoring last year, his bigger issue altogether is poor court vision, hes a bad passer he gets lost off the ball on defense hes slow to make decisions etc, if you look at where jimmy butler is in this play hes in position to rip the ball but for whatever reason doesnt try, in last years ecf he was def trying and succeeding, if he had gotten the steal on this play the issue wouldve been more jaylens decision to drive into a spot where the ball is exposed to jimmy rather than any technical issue with his dribbling, theres nowhere else for the ball to be in this drive than his left hand, i mean maybe kyrie could do some tricky throw ahead stuff there but for non top ten ball handlers it is what it is, jaylens turnovers are more about poor decisions than bad dribbling

in conclusion the thing people are criticizing about jaylens game is actually something much worse haha

Catching up on the Bulls game from last night, watched the last 5 min and OT. And goddamn, Caruso is a pure agent of chaos. It's beautiful to watch. 13 points, 13 rebounds (6 offensive!), 3 loose ball recoveries, 2 charges drawn, 6 deflections, 1 block, 2 steals (including the game saving one), and hit the game winning shot. Overall +29 in just over 31 mins. I can almost forgive him for the abomination he calls a beard.

His effort and DeMar being a 4th quarter foul merchant are the only ways the Bulls are going to win games this year.

DeRozan was unstoppable in the 4th but just couldn't hit the last FT. Raptors would have won if they were just capable of inbounding the ball cleanly...

Saw a tweet that said that Bulls/Raptors was the most Eastern conference 8th seed game they've ever seen. That's about right.

definite play-in preview

Didn't know they sold truth bombs at K-Mart.

just sat down at Target Center with my daughter.... someone told me Jimmy isn't playing?? so annoying. he actually sat out load managing when we went to the Blazers/Heat in Portland a few years ago, load managed in two cities.

yeah they're resting him on back to backs to ramp up for the season

feel like jimmy should continue his vendetta on the wolves whats the problem

watching the knicks give zion the biggest possible cushion and he just drives into them anyway and makes a weird layup

weird layups should be a tracked stat

lol for some reason Terrance Howard is here tonight and got a huge reception when they announced he was here

who leads the league in weird layups shai

fun game! Wolves really pulled away in the 4th thanks to Naz. Rudy has been playing much better this year so far, very active on D seems to be moving a lot better.

if they don’t trade KAT this year it’s a travesty

gotta find another team who wants him first…

KNICKS

randle/kat would be a fun twin towers

gotta think the knicks are keeping their powder dry for embiid

i think someone wld trade for kat tho

minny will prob just keep him tho

yeah the nuggets just can’t be stopped on offense

flavor flav singing the national anthem in milwaukee

clippers when kawhi and pg play are pretty good, weird

Dame was just insanely bad tonight, dunno what he wound up with but he didn't have a bucket until halfway through the 3rd and was responsible for like 8 turnovers

yeah i looked at his line has to be one of the worst games of his career

more liek the milwhatthe fucks

6 points and 6 turnovers

I prefer to look at tonight as a Flavor Flav concert with a bonus basketball game at the end

Jalen’s first start. That fucking block he had

pretty sick end to kings-lakers lots of good shot making scrambling d crowd was into it lakers lost and so forth

lackers
