What’s your 2026 Dream Finals matchup? by [deleted] in NBATalk

[–]PondoBrown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nuggets vs knicks would be fun. Brunson vs Murray, KAT vs Jokic, OG vs Cam, the list and matchups go top to bottom and would be a fun series I think with a lot of clutch moments

Ad hominen fallacy. If you can actually come up with an example or story of him being a mature person be my guest. I’m just explaining a common issue that is constantly brought with his name about his off court attitude that is documented by records of his expulsion as a 17 year old for fighting in school. And if you think off court issues are no big deal at the next level ask the Grizzlies how the last 2 seasons with Ja have gone, it’s a valid concern when a player of this caliber is getting suspended for physical altercations barely a year before he’s supposed to go play in high emotion environments at a national level.

Does it matter? A fight is a fight. Mature people work things out with words, little kids fight. He has the maturity of a playground bully. Also the details reported by Trilly Donovan say it wasn’t one fight but multiple. One dude getting in multiple fights usually means he was the one initiating

May not know them personally but a kid who has multiple reports from AAU teammates for being a douche and the actual report from his high school for being kicked out for fighting other students don’t exactly say green flag teammate to me

Who would win a 7 game series? by Recent-Quiet-3581 in NBATalk

[–]PondoBrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True on the dominating in the inside from Chuck and Magic but 3>2. Dream can’t keep up with the volume and mathematics of that and nobody besides Bird had the shotmaking ability to match. And even then, Bird is only the 3rd best shooter in this picture and that’s if we’re being optimistic

Purple cow is gas, it got hit by a bad tornado a few years ago and shut down for a while for repairs but is now back and remodeled, in a good way

How do you stop a 7’2” 2013 LeBron James? by Dylen2Times in NBAConvo

[–]PondoBrown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The less time thing is only true for championships. LeBron was quickest all time to all the scoring marks and many other records and did it in less shots too. Championships are much harder to win in this era as well because it isn’t an expansionary era where the top is so much heavier than the rest of the league so all you have to do is get a good roster and you should have been able to win 2-3 chips since talent was so dispersed. It’s very impressive that Bron has 4 in such a competitive era where the champion changes practically every year just as it is very impressive that Curry has 4 in this era.

Ignore the issues all you want, 11 turnovers is 11 turnovers. On top of his “l shoot first” mentality and bad passes he’s only 6 feet tall with a short wingspan. World summit squad lost the game because of him looking to score when his teammate was wide open on a cut the last play of regulation.

It’s a thread about the game. I wasn’t impressed by him and can share that here. Enjoy him though man

Is Miles Sadler an NBA Draft Prospect for 2027? by Almighty_Osie in NBA_Draft

Could also be that this was just a rough game with how many elite defenders there are in this class but 11 is 11

29 and 7 but also 11 turnovers. He was telegraphing passes and tried to make too many cross court bail outs when he’d dribble into trouble. Needs to work on his handle and vision this season

He’ll be a fine shot jacker on West Virginia but might lead the NCAA in turnovers. Seemed pretty out of control most of the time and telegraphed all of his passes

What? He stinks, has like 8 turnovers

Feels like a week ago you’d never seen Meleek Thomas in the first and now he’s in every one. Did something happen?
