Who was usually guarding him
no one really. he was moving off the ball and it lead to a lot of open 3's. He was also driving, so it was a few people guarding that. They just couldn't stop Buddy hield.

Again, someone had to take that shyt personally. Pels just soft as hell. Reggie miller and Harland said before the game started that this was a very winnable game. But u can see that the Pels looked like they were scared of the moment after the 1st half. They might just be a soft ass team.

Remember Charles Barkley was making fun of them forr being soft in that playoff game last season against OKC. They just might not have it mentally :manny:

Idk if this Pels team needs a 3 for 1 trade for a star level guy or just a real PG and not CJ fukking McCollum. I would’ve tried to flip the latter last season but the Pels seemed to want to keep this core together as long as able.

I just don’t get what a CJ-Alvarado/Jordan Hawkins-Ingram-Zion-Herb Jones lineup is supposed to do. Zion and Ingram also really stink at creating for others, at least compared to other high usage supposed play makers. That “I’m going to run at Draymond who’s right at the rim, do a corkscrew and chuck it at some 3 pt shooter” shyt Zion was doing looked worse than 2024 Ben Simmons play making. They rarely had to help

Bill Simmons and co has gone over it ad nauseam, but I think they’re just stuck with Ingram unless they give up a very plus asset. Which might’ve been worth considering for KAT. Only problem is you still don’t have a play maker for others (and why would Minnesota take Ingram ofc).

they wont win 49 games if they play like this. putrid. I know dejounte fractured his hand but damn :francis:
Totally forgot they even had that nikka…and gave up Dyson Daniels who now looks like a stud to do it…I’ll forgive em a lil I guess. But CJ still brings the team down to me. Would’ve rather turned that into a spacing 5, which would’ve assisted a Murray-Zion-Ingram cluster fukk. They probably don’t do that now since Murray’ll be out for a grip - need someone to be the nominal PG

I don’t know what to think about the Brooklyn Nets :patrice:

They seem to be a hard working deep team full of second/third option scorers/reliable bench players. They generate offense by committee. They lack stars, they don’t have legit #1 scoring option/no go to guy but they keep things simple on offense, execute well and work hard ad a team.

Their ceiling for them this season might be a 44-38 record and a play-in spot (7th-10th seeds) and a 1st round exit if they ever make the official playoffs.

No Steph
No Wiggins
No Melton
Their #2 option for the last decade has just left.

Rejuvenated Hield's career and was forced to put Lindy Waters III into the rotation and he's looking like a superstar.

Kerr really be coaching shyt.

I posted that and went to sleep :mjlol:

Leave it to Willie Green :unimpressed:

They're going to blow it up long before it gets to that point especially since they got some of their picks back from Houston.

Scared of a basketball game?

I watched most of it too. It wasn’t scared, it was a lack of personnel and coaching adjustments.

Then 2 guys got hot. Literally it
