:dwillhuh: If Covid didn't give LeBalco and Day to Dayvis a 3 month rest break in the middle of the season what would they have won?

The point is, for the Lakers, mortgaging their future bc Lebron wants to point out to the world how he "doesn't have help"(so he doesn't get blamed) is stupid. They traded the promising youth movement they had and now are being pressured to trade their upcoming picks for what exactly? Theres no player that's making them a championship team and Bron STILL has the worst +/- on the team
:yeshrug:

I’m not interested in “if’s”. None of the players you mentioned haven’t won anything. So what’s your point?

Man confidence is the theme of these young rockets. When Amen, Sengun, Jalen, and Jabari figure out there strength and advantages over their matchups and just hit it, we’ll be elite. But there self-awareness onthe court is immature from time to time(not so much Amen). Alpi still get the ball
On the high post and waits before he goes to work. He lets the defense recover. One thing we saw against the Celtics inthe 4th quarter is very half Second counts against the reaction of the defense. So when you get entry pass, go to work. Stop holding the ball for 2-3 seconds and waiting to see what the defense do. You’re giving them time to adjust




This video broke down the Celtics endgame perfectly and the common theme. Was half a second too late(Celtics )or quickly recovered(rockets).

Facts. I think it’s gonna click soon. Once they realize they can impose their own pace, it will change everything. The more wins they can stack up against the elites, the more this will click. You can see Amen is literally figuring out “oh I’m way too fast and strong for them”. Decisiveness is key. When Jalen goes out and is deliberate with his moves, he’s unguardable. Same with Alpi

Nobody judges role players based on the amount of rings they win.:unimpressed:

We don't view role players thru the lenses of winning championships. Thats for star/superstar players. And the point was that its hard to ask for "help" when you push to trade the "help" every time you can't meet expectations....

You can tell, even when he smiling, it’s a grin. Nigguh got Vegeta energy. When Amen gets into these small on court scuffles with opposing players , Ime be:mjgrin:. He did it last night when Amen and Hunter got tangled up

We’ve been calling him the Evil Twin as his new nickname. Dude a demon, especially when he’s guarding Tyler Herro :mjlol:

Thompson got EXTRA smoke whenever we play the Heat :dead:
