Dame officially has enough help. No more excuses. Championship or bust.

Not gonna lie, this post right here is high quality trolling and an excellent spin job for this on going debate you have about Dame vs Steph

Jalen Green looks much better than him to start the year. And that’s his direct comp….that’s his KD to his LeBron.…his Garnett to his Duncan….his Kobe to his MJ. They both have the same amount of skills and physical attributes but Ant was supposed to be slightly more talented and yet Jalen looks twice as good to start the season. He’s gotta start taking his off season training more seriously or he’ll start to fall behind his peers….

Its only 4 games and Ant has had two good games and two bad ones but even in the bad shooting games, hes rebounded well and shown some flashes of better defensive effort so I wont say he isnt still showing those skills/talent. But he also looks kind of off in general like he isnt having as much fun. That might not mean anything, but I'm thinking hes feeling the pressure of expectations a bit.

It's part of why i said this last month:

Ant will probably get more national attention but it’ll be just as fun to watch Jalen’s progression. Especially if he carries over the momentum he finished last season with.

Granted, both are in different situations... Ant is on a team with expectations for a deep playoff run in which he will have to make a leap. Jalen is on a team where the fanbase has painfully acquiesced to the tank life.

If KD is going to stay with Brooklyn they need to trade Simmons for some useful role players that can stay on the floor during crunch time. Call up the Spurs, Hornets, Pacers and get some solid pieces for him.
Who is going to trade for Ben Simmons :mjlol:

I was thinking the same thing. Drose was hella explosive but his movements were much more violent. It just looks so much more effortless with Ja. I seen his track Jalen Green (a super athlete in his own right) with ease….then blasted his shyt. He might athletically be the Jordan of his generation…
He reminds me of a smaller more explosive Spreewell :picard:. The aggression attacking the rim is insane.

Like if cj and lilliard never got injured Simons would still be playing like 15 mpg
This isnt true cj hasn't been better than Simon's for some time, if you actually watch the games. Portland was always going go move the worse older player. What teams got these super nikkas sitting on bench you speak of?

Dame gets a couple nice young players and it's "enough to win" while other guards have 3-4 all-star veterans on the team :dead:

Coli ain't shyt lol

Right a team has a good 4-0 start and people starting spewing ridiculous shyt. They could go .500 next 20 for all we know. Blazers look better so far but tryna to compare them to teams with stars is some low level posting lol
