That And 1 in the last minute was deceptively impressive. Dude got clotheslined and still finished with a perfect form floater. Crazy how its like the games moves so much slower for him.

I get what you’re saying but I also don’t think the point of the stat is to fixate on the 4+ and the 17+. It’s more so just to show the players who have had well rounded games with numbers like the one he just had to illustrate that those games “don’t just happen”…. I get the stats themselves look kinda dumb, especially when they are weird numbers like that, but that’s also the reason we only see them pop up for single games like this.

To me stats like this are far worse than those types.. like who the hell cares about made threes. Points are points. Idk when this whole “made threes” became a thing. Rick Kamla talks about it all the time. It’s got to be some carry over from fantasy stats or something. I get that made threes can have a big carry over in efficiency, but high efficient scorers still have to be good everywhere else too. Made threes in a vacuum is pointless.

Looking damn good

Starting to look like when Moss was traded from the Raiders to the Pats.

Did you see that one play where he ran the break himself. Looked one way. The defense followed his eyes and he no looked to a cutter.

He just plays at his own pace. Nobody is speeding him up like ggdimmonds said.

It really is like the game is his speed and nobody else's. If they ever surrounded him with shooters and Murray comes back right. They could really go far.

That's all you can ask for. The primary goal for Embiid-less minutes is not for everything to go ****. We just need him to do his job. Dwight would do dumb stuff at the worse times or get techs that you can't even refute as a fan. Drummond was good(and should be a solid starter), but there were times he would try to do much. Drummond was good for one turnover a game where he tries a flashy pass.

Without knowing too much, it seems like the backup Center spot will be based on matchups. Millsap when you want to go small and Jordan when you want a big on the floor. Like last night would have made sense for Milllsap when Bulls went super small. At this point, Reed and Bassey aren't getting any playtime

BI out tonight.

Nets not playing around with the Hornets tonight
