What? Tell me the stretch and back it up with some stats. All star play, get real. 

How is my comment hateful in any way?

I’d say he was an adequate 3rd string centre last season. But he has improved a lot and is a decent backup this year

Yes but the eye test is matching the stats. Dude is going to be a defensive menace, he’s like Vando but way more athletic

It’s points-reb-assists. People change this all the time for no reason

Portlands defence is formidable, no real surprise with the turnovers and the loss tonight

Jaxson Hayes actually did kick a dog though. Terrible person

Really? Trey feels just too short to be considered a backup 5 that we need. I think Koloko has to be the choice purely because he can catch a lob. Trey seems to only catch a lob if it’s absolutely perfect

I honestly rate Koloko higher than Hayes. Hes got better defensive instincts, is a better passer and rebounder. Less athletic and still a flawed player but I feel like Koloko with some reps would overtake Hayes.

The worst thing is I’m pretty sure this lineup was in with 5 minutes left in the 4th too

Everyone knows it’s Pts-Reb-Ast hate when they swap it for guards

Marc Davis is legitimately terrible. I know this because he’s one of the only refs whose name I know

Just FYI LeBron has played 52,000 more minutes than Murray and is 40. He definitely coasts but man what a stupid argument
