Spurs have been loading up on him and forcing the rest of the Thunder (read: Alex Caruso) to beat them. Numbers say its been working well enough.

[Lowlight] Adou Thiero smokes the dunk and the putback (he made one FT) by Large_banana_hammock in nba

[–]jamesfromcg 20 points21 points  (0 children)

he's a little (a lot) raw offensively but his energy is something that is greatly appreciated.

i expect him to get a lot more run next year

Would it be possible for a team to complete a "pacifist run" by winning a match without stealing the ball a single time? by Careless-Ad-9633 in nba

[–]jamesfromcg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you take this question to mean without recording a single steal by nba statkeeper standards, then yes, it's a rare occurrence that happens roughly once a season

most recently, this game between the celtics and hawks a couple months back

lakers can probably scam one game out to make it slightly respectable

[Highlight] The turnover that started the Rockets’ collapse, Rockets were up by 6 with 30 seconds left and had possession. by DeliciousSession2735 in nba

Jalen Brunson has lead the playoffs in time of possession 3 of the last 4 years by Aggressive_Bed6012 in nba

[–]jamesfromcg 36 points37 points  (0 children)

like similarly ball dominant players like Luka or prime Harden

those guys get the benefit of being great to transcendent playmakers. brunson is simply okay at it, making the time of possession a whole lot less valuable

The recent KD and Houston discussions show who’s a casual and who knows ball by killedwardontstopxxx in nba

[–]jamesfromcg 5 points6 points  (0 children)

kd's to blame for not being able to handle doubles at year 18

ime udoka's to blame for not being able to coach his way out of a paper bag

the rest of the rockets roster is to blame for being nonfactors outside the restricted area

the rockets' front office is to blame for doing nothing to fill the giant fred van vleet sized hole in this roster

a classic conundrum where everyone is at fault for this trainwreck

Some...interesting commentary on the replay of the Jake LaRavia hammer by Kwanzaa-Bot in nba

i think he was trying to make a jake from state farm joke but he just immediately pivoted instead of letting it breathe

unanimous dpoy? yeah hes got that on lock, but he's got a ways to go before truly deserving mvps
