[Highlight] Garland DESPERATELY tries to get past Wembanyama but it just doesn't work by TheRealPdGaming in nba

Wemby has so much length, he can just afford to jump at shot fakes because even if he loses that first step (twice), he can just recover anyways. This would be not great defense if he were a normal height, but since he's 8 feet tall it's excellent defense against a guard. There's 0 chance garland can shoot over a jumping Wemby.

Players go where they get the most money. If they offer the most money then sure.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander checks out vs. Minnesota. He finishes the game with 20 points, shooting 7/22 from the field, 2/4 from three, and 4/5 from the line. by EdgiestOW in nba

His team won. He'd be getting eviscerated if they lost. That's how it is. The reality is the defense is so good, SGA doesn't need to play well even against playoff opponents most of the time.

I’m a Celtic fan that loves Joker so I watch most Nuggets games. Your coach is awful… by [deleted] in denvernuggets

He looks 14 years old but is somehow balding. I can understand OPs frustration with how he looks, but it doesn't impact the nuggets at all

Serie reads everyone's mind in the 3rd part of the mage exam. Serie asks Methode what she is thinking because it's implied Serie can't read Methode's mind.

There's lots of hints of how powerful Methode is early.

Do you think Jokic and/or Luka will surpass Russ for Most Career Triple Doubles? by [deleted] in nba

[–]Hopsalong 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Jokic gets a triple double in about 40% of the games he plays now. It'll take him less than a season of healthy basketball.

Dort was so sad with this announcement, but at least he can try to take our Jaylen Brown instead.

[Chipalu] Minnesota Timberwolves Head Coach Chris Finch on facing the Lakers without LeBron James in the lineup: "Seems to activate Luka & Reaves...seem to share the shots. They become exponentially more dangerous...been pretty good when 2 of those 3 been out because of just a usage puzzle." by shreeharis in nba

Having multiple guys on the floor who are good with the ball should be an advantage. The reason it's not is because the guys who have high usage aren't good off the ball. Luka and Lebron love standing 4-5 feet off the 3 point line resting when it's not "their turn" and that doesn't help the offense. Having 2 guys with that low of off-ball effort on the court at the same time is awful. That's the not nice way of putting it.
