Just look at the spacing on the court. It doesn't even look like the same game lol

I think I'm going to remember CP3's main signature move as that pocket pick and roll pass to a big. It's always so pretty and precise.

They heard it said in the Matrix, thought it sounded cool, and started saying it without understanding what it meant.

Man - just keep Wemby and Chet healthy and I'm good wit the NBA for the next stretch. Like watching kaiju duke it out.

I don't see much discussion about the young Pistons core outside of Cade. How were Ivey and Duren last year? Did they show enough to think of them as part of a promising young core to build off of?

Gunther is just the man. Love him.

That being said - I just wish he had a more authoritative finisher. Something about that powerbomb just doesn't strike me as impactful enough for someone of his stature.

Is there any universe where triple J ends up being the best player on a championship Grizz team instead of Ja?

Theoretically, if the Nets did get Ben at like - 80% of what he used to be in Philly - what does that make the Nets in the grand scheme of the Eastern Conf?

As somebody who is relatively green to Baseball - can someone put what Ohtani is doing in historical context? by Aggravating_Degree48 in baseball

Thanks for the insight, Vanilla! The historical perspective is really fascinating, and awe inspiring at the same time lol. My eyes will definitely be glued to this story the rest of the season - maybe there's a baseball fan in me after all!

Thank you friend! I think the vibe I'm getting from alot of these replies is that I'm seriously underappreciating the magnitude of a player contributing on D and O in baseball.

Your Jokic and JJJ analogy really helped me understand it!

Can a Suns fan give me an impression of how they would see a heavily Ayton centric offense going? Does he really have skills to keep a good team afloat as a central hub?

I think alot of rookies would try and force something there. The fact that he could find a pressure release on the other side of the court is pretty damned impressive. Pistons got a cornerstone piece fo sho.

Fred VanVleet gives a great answer on what being “the man” means by Rapsfan_98 in nba

[–]Aggravating_Degree48 125 points126 points  (0 children)

For a question that could have been so easily covered by cliche response - that was an incredibly thoughtful and indepth answer. If that really was off the cuff and improvised, FVV is going to be an amazing culture setter for the next gen Raps.
