this is such a crazy move, and then he hits the second guy trailing

WS/48 over .200

this is an impressive "would smash" rating tbh

wonder if the game getting less physical is letting players develop faster, luka and trae top five in scoring in their 2nd years, ja lighting it up as a rookie

ie they dont have to wait to get big muscles before theyre good

ja & jjj looking like a great long term little-big 1-2

this is such a crazy move, and then he hits the second guy trailing

Morant is doing open court ballhandling stuff that I’m not sure we’ve seen since White Chocolate, and his stuff actually works

yeah its legit

harden not even concerned with the appearance of trying

trae had a nice shammgod last night

yeah i think this is true plus pace of game. it's just a really nice time to be a perimeter player on offense.

Luka is just a freak and is also built like a truck. Trae is the guy who seems to be of this era and reflective of a new kind of basketball. OTOH he’s the worst defender in the nba so there’s an adjustment going on there

I was a Trae skeptic because so much of his game is built on crazy threes but it looks like he really can shoot those at a good clip which makes him a monster

insane court vision too. the defense thing is a big deal tho.

ja broke coach nick

I think I'm just going to post a video of Ja's highlights with music. They're flabbergasting

Yeah think so. Plus the continuing of the trend of each class of new players who have grown up where basketball=handles+deep shooting prowess. On the whole young guys are so much better at both than in the past.

ja currently really close to a 50/40/80 start to the season...

xp also coaches have no compunction against letting youngsters off the leash like they used to

Tell that to Mike Malone!

lol there's still a couple holdouts def

players come into the league w insane skills now i think the trainer phenomenon has something to do w it, schools are limited in the amount of time theyre allowed to work w players and theyre more concerned w winning than development

zion coming back next thursday now dammit

the clarkson trade is playing out better than the conley trade for the jazz.

Watching Deandre Jordan

watching and waiting

lol

Sabonis going NUTS on the wolves

celtics down 13 in the 4th to the pistons rn theyve been playing some low energy ball recently

they had 2 back-to-backs with travel last week they're still kinda gassed i think. and they have a 3rd tomorrow vs milwaukee, probably about as much of a scheduled loss as possible

I remember during Towns’ rookie season when people said he was “future mvp” like it was a title bestowed officially

after tomorrow they will have played 9 games in 14 days

yeah thats ridiculous

not too many ppl have payed this good as a 20 y/o rookie, nba got some real good talent thats not old enough to go to a bar rn

luka ja zion trae (is old enough to go to a bar now)

celtics schedule has sucked, they're really paying for the random 5-day off stretch they got a few weeks ago

insane court vision too. the defense thing is a big deal tho.

yeah for some reason they got all their long off stretches in the first couple months, its pretty much a game every other day the entire rest of the way

das not great

Mike Porter going off..

7/8 from the field in like 9 minutes

that jokic-murray pick and roll, with jokic as the hall handler, was so sick

feeling really good about MPJ. I feel like grant has been playing better the last few games too

porter prob wldve been in the discussion for the #1 pick w/o the back injury
