Re: 3/5 - 3/11 Games Discussion Thread

Suns coming in with a 2 game winning streak, Knicks on a 3 game losing streak, big game for the tanking standings tonight.

Mitch has been the guy to watch this year for us but Iso Zo is having a really nice last 2 weeks or so, averaging 17 PPG on 56%, 60 from 3, 92 from the line in 26 minutes. Need that Baby Starks prophecy to come true.

Zo bout to become Linsanity 2.0 for y’all and get y’all on a 12 game win streak now.

He knows what he’s doing.

Remember when Trae Young was a bust after one here?

Trae Young and Luka Doncic will always be linked thanks to the draft day trade that sent the two in opposing directions, one to the Atlanta Hawks and the other to the Dallas Mavericks.

Doncic is probably going to be the 2019 NBA Rookie of the Year, but Young has certainly made his case for the award. As the calendar has changed from 2018 to 2019, Young has evened out on the offensive side of the ball, culminating in a performance of 49 points, 16 assists, and eight rebounds against the Chicago Bulls on Mar. 1.

Neither the Mavericks or the Hawks are playoff-bound in their respective conferences, but it’s been fun to see both play well. Young needed to figure out a way to close the gap between his draft mate, particularly as he failed to shoot well coming into the season. The Hawks PG shot just 20% from the 3-point line in November, but has recovered and is now shooting 41.5 percent for the season.

To that end, Young recently told Marc Stein of the New York Times that he just needed time to adjust to the NBA, and that now he’s seeing things much slower.

Via NYT:

Young’s statistical eruption against the Bulls capped a five-game stretch in which he became just the fourth rookie since the N.B.A./A.B.A. merger in 1976-77 to post three consecutive 35-point games.

The others: Bernard King, Michael Jordan and Allen Iverson.

“That first month of the year was difficult for me,” Young said. “There’s definitely an adjustment period for any college shooter. And I think that’s what I was going through early on in the season. I was shooting terrible. I was really just thinking about it too much.”

And now?

“The game,” Young said, “is really starting to slow down for me.”

Doncic really stole our hearts at the beginning of the season and it’s hard to see Young making a narrative push for the Rookie of the Year, especially as Atlanta is slated to win fewer than 30 games this season.

But Young has come on strong, and he really does show exceptional vision on a level that means he’s going to be able to stick in this league and become an impact player for the Hawks for years to come. The trade was largely panned when Atlanta made the deal, but in less than one season it seems like the gap between the two players has already shortened significantly.

This isn’t even including his assists and his ability to set guys up for open looks and how it’s gotten better over the season.

I would cry.

Side note, starting watching the Wire, on the 9th or 10th episode and out of nowhere Wee-Bey watching the TV, "The Knicks ****ed up their draft again." There's no escape smh.

His passing to me is his best asset, and all my worries of him being able to actually get his shot off, or get into the paint and score were answered even when he was shooting like ****.

His defense is always going to be a negative, but if he can develop enough in that aspect to just be a pesky player who makes the right plays I think he can keep from be a liability.

He's got a lot of Steve Nash traits, with some Curry range and quick release, it'll be interesting to see what he looks like in a few years. Some of the passes he makes are elite level plays, and the fact that he's setting up so many guys when they are really not that great of a team bodes well for what he could potentially do with some more dangerous scorers around him.

Worst season of TV I've ever seen, the characters are terrible, the writing is predictable, same thing over and over, loss after loss... Wait you're talking about the Wire. It's dope, best throwaway lines ever. "There you go, giving a **** when it ain't your turn to give a ****" is the realest **** ever. I'll post in the show thread when I finish the season.

OT: Season 2 is vital to the larger story.

Yeah, but the worst season of The Wire is still better than like 90% of all other shows out there.

2 > 5.

Could care less about the Media angle but at least the Docks found a way to draw you in at times, especially when it introduced new characters.

And DHY, when I read your post and saw “Worst...”, I damn balled my first and was about to internet rage, lmao.

You talk about one b-ball player’s ****ed up fashion or crack some Tristian Kardashian jokes in the pro ball off-topic and everybody loses their minds about the conversation choices not fit for the b-ball forum or wishing for games to be on to get off the pointless topics, but we having full blown quality conversations about The Wire in the game thread and it’s cool? C’mon son. Don’t get me wrong The Wire is amazing but damn y’all.
