Red Wolf Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 2 hours ago, Rockstar Matt said: Man, that garbage Lonzo Ball became the youngest player to ever have a triple-double, with a 19 (7 of 12), 13 and 11. What an awful player. Only missed 5 shots, didn't get 20 points (what a scrub) and had a +10. Lonzo Bust, ammirite? Wow, way to peak way too early, young man. All downhill from here. Sad.

That's one good night, yes, but if he does that consistently that's all-star level if not better. And given his size advantage over other guards and his pass-first mentality, there's no reason his scoring can't catch up to the rest of his game. Now if that isn't the pot calling the kettle black. Fact is, the only thing Lonzo has managed to do consistently is lower his FG%. I'm not going celebrate that he had 1 good game when he's still the worst shooter in the NBA. Until he learns how to shoot competently he's never going to be that "all star" player. He's no "Aaron Judge" where he's record breakingly bad in 1 stat, but ludicrously good in near everything else to make up for it. Red Sox: 8 Celtics: 17 Bruins: 6 Patriots: 5 Phantom Merch Collector.

Funny you should use a guy who hit .179 through his first 27 games as your example of a great player here considering how quickly you're labeling Ball a bust.

truepg Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Sometimes I wonder, why on the highest considered level basketball league with all the possible shooting and what-not coaches, they don't try to fix the players' clearly flawed shooting technique. Didn't do that with Marion and are not doing it with Lonzo, who's only 19 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You, as is everyone else, are severely downplaying how historically bad Lonzo's shooting is. At least when Judge was setting records on striking out, he was also setting records in HR. Ball has been so bad his team has done better when he's on the bench. Red Sox: 8 Celtics: 17 Bruins: 6 Patriots: 5 Phantom Merch Collector.

TheRicSlick Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Both of Lonzo's career high games came against Eric Bledsoe. I blame him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying that in his first 27 games at the tail end of the 2016 season, Judge was also really, really bad. Relax, it's still early. I don't even want the kid to be any good.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think (from my understanding of the situation anyway, which mostly comes from reading headlines ) that the Lakers do want to fix his shooting form, and that LaVar is having none of it.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 I can only imagine how good the Celtics would be if Gordon were playing. This team doesn't seem to be able to lose. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzyman314 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Brad Stevens is the Bill Belichick of the NBA (ok maybe not, but close). This Celtics team is also gritty as :censored:. Warriors-Celtics game on Thursday should be one to watch if everyone is healthy. Red Sox: 8 Celtics: 17 Bruins: 6 Patriots: 5 Phantom Merch Collector.

DustDevil61 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 It's time to play "Foul or No Foul?", starring Dion Waiters: Gobert's the second Jazz player to miss significant time due to a questionable play. Dante Exum is out indefinitely (probably for the season) due to Phoenix's TJ Warren landing on him in the preseason. Might want to keep an eye on him, NBA, and you might want all players and staff to carry a rabbit's foot or two, Utah.

FinsUp1214 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 To be totally honest, I don’t think the Waiters collision was anything malicious. It looked to me like he was off-balance and fell, and Rudy was just unfortunately at the wrong place/wrong time. Sucks that Rudy’s out (looks like that wretched injury bug hates the Jazz again), but I give Waiters a pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CS85 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 It was cool/interesting to see the Knicks/Cavs form a beef powerful enough that MSG was louder than I've heard it in years. Knicks still did Knick things, but it was cool to see. Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

I keep telling myself that too, haha. I’m really not sure they’re making the playoffs if the offense stays this bad, so he’s about the only thing I’m letting myself look forward to.

BBTV Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 So, the Sixers co-owner wrote a letter to the judge that sentenced Meek Mill, pleading for the sentence to be reduced. Also, the team was fully planning to wear black bands on their jerseys to protest the sentence, but the league blocked it. LOL - it's freaking Meek Mill. There was a rally in support of him here, and some of the Eagles, other rappers, and DR FREAKING J showed up to protest his incarceration. I have no idea what he did, but man people are pissed. I wonder if that jersey tribute would have been the first of its kind.
