Re: 1/2 - 1/15 Games Discussion Thread

He's not as bad as Harden was. He's just so slithery. I like to think he's CP3 he's just 6'5. He's really good at angles and cutting the defender off. So the only thing the defender can do is foul.

He is slithery, and he’s not as bad as Harden, but those tendencies are still there.. interested to see how he fairs in the playoffs when some of these calls he gets from just running into guys and throwing back his head aren’t called fouls.

I feel like defenders get punished some against him. Little guards can’t really guard him but they call a foul pretty much any time he makes contact on a bigger player. Tough bind to be in if you’re coaching against him and this goes back to last year too so I’m surprised we haven’t really seen/heard more coaches making post game comments about him honestly.

Meanwhile George is killing everyone. He reminds me of Bradley Beal so much

I agree I'd like to see how this goes in the playoffs.

Another absolutely embarrassing loss by Atlanta losing by 30 at home to Washington.

As much as I want to see Trae traded and off this team regardless of what the return is. I guess the realistic move is trading his buddies Clint and Murray. I would also move Bogdanvich

Re: 1/2 - 1/15 Games Discussion Thread

Somewhat related… but what the hell happened to Andrew Wiggins. Dude hasn’t even hit 30 yet and is just two season removed from getting finals MVP votes and being one of the best two-way players in the league on a team that at full strength was like 70-win pace.. arguably their 2nd best player both nights gusting the other teams best players and giving 2nd option scoring.

I know they are down as a team. Klay is a step slower, and things have always looked rough for them with no Draymond, but there is just no excuse for that guy to have regressed so much.

There are more rumors in the Bay than pennies lying on the ground when it comes to Wiggs...but the common denominator is that it's an off-court issue impacting him. The Big 3 rumors revolve around 1.) a possible sick parent to 2.) baby-mamma drama to 3.) being mad at the team for how they handled Poole since Poole is his best friend, reportedly.

I just honestly hope he's ok and that it isn't something bad. I think a change of scenery will be good for him; great actually if he can get to Toronto or somewhere in the Northeast closer to home.

I was wondering if he is Devin George's son since he actually resembles him a little bit...

Yeah, that was a disgraceful performance. Imagine getting blown out by the Wizards, lol.

Also, I read that broke the Hawks scoring 100 streak at 94 games. Not sure if that's accurate, but they scored 99 tonight.

Huge trade [emoji23]

Pistons are trading Marvin Bagley III, Isaiah Livers and draft picks to Wizards for Danilo Gallinari and Mike Muscala - Woj

Detroit needs shooters and badly.

Re: 1/2 - 1/15 Games Discussion Thread

Mike Brown isn't playing around!!!! He's probably going to get fined for that one.

Ant got 31 right now. I don't know if he'll make the all Star. But he should.

Kings actually down one with 17 seconds left.

Re: 1/2 - 1/15 Games Discussion Thread

I really love how much confidence the Wolves have in Rudy Gobert on the offensive side. I don't know the stats. But he just looks better and not worried about missing. It's just easier to play when everyone is a threat.

Kings tied the GAME!!!!

Missed Giannis free throw
