@A40 and other haters, come and pay HOMAGE TO THE GOAT!

Who exactly was this man throwing to tonight?

Everyone, throughout the week picked the Cardinals to dismantle the Packers. No one gave us a chance!

We had players out injured on both ends of the field!

PUT SOME RESPECT TO THE NAME!!!!!!

K. Murray is a stud though! This kid is legit....Despite the weapons he has, he distinguishes himself..
You do realize JJ Watt was hurt right? Anyway we go see for playoffs no be today we don see regular season Rodgers dey show himself. His dad wey e dey try impersonate dey wait am for playoffs

Interesting seeing Kuzma, Montrezl and KCP flourishing in Washington. I thought you guys said LeNomad made people better. Hmmm


They still have Hachimura out. Some young teams have really piqued my curiosity this early stages. (Cavs, Wizards, Hornets) With Cavs that guard trio of Rubio, Garland and Sexton. I saw their odds vs the Clippers some days back and I was so sure they would win I staked on it. I want to add Memphis to that mix. Solely cos of Ja cos I don't trust Jaren Jackson, for his size he is a shockingly poor rebounder and even as a scorer he is too reliant on the 3 ball

There was a game that had 96 3's this week. 96! This is getting absurd

None of those 3 has been doing well until this last game. I was especially surprised because KCP looked like the most ready to take it to the next level. Lets see a couple of more games first.

If all 4 (plus Beal) are scoring in double figures every night, the East has a new problem then. But I doubt it. Kuz is never focused enough. Trez cant drop 20 every night.

Haba. Iro o da. All 3 have actually been balling and Kuzma in particular has been a machine on the boards. Someone like Kuzma this is the best spot for him where he can grow and his every mistake is not magnified. As for Trez he got in his feelings after the Clippers debacle and jumped from frying pan to fire. He's looking for the payday he missed out last season, would be shocked if he didn't ball

Im happy for Trez on the real. Wizards are looking for #2, #3 scoring options to complement Beal. No other star to share time with, so you should get 30+ minutes a night as a starter. Beal alone can score enough to keep Wiz in the game, so they have a chance to win on any given night. This kind of situation comes like once in an NBA lifetime. If played right, they can get into the playoffs, make some noise and get a huge contract off of this.

Of the 3, I suspect Trez is the most ready to take advantage.Kuzma tends to get lost as season progresses.

I'm sure Beal will be relieved he has some scoring help this year. Don't sleep on Kuzma there's some Julius Randle vibes there. Its just getting his fundamentals in check. If his hoops IQ ever matches his confidence thats an all star in the making

If I sound you ehn! I get am before no be property. After playing 7 games, he posted a paltry 10 solo tackles, assisting in 6 with 1 sack.. No one is questioning his greatness here but he is not the 2nd coming of JJ Watt that won those awards, neither does he rank high in their defensive ranking. Don't distract from the greatness of Rodgers..

Ja is already by far the best player of that draft especially when you include off the court issues.

Quick question, if Zion struggles with his weight continues, should the Pelicans give him a max extension?

Spoken like a true Aaron Fraudgers disciple

2014: Since I started watchin the NFL Rodgers is the first QB I've seen that failed to win despite his defense gifting him 4 interceptions

2016: Every day in the NFC title game is a bad day for Fraudgers. The same Falcons team that crushed him by 5 scores Brady came from 25 pts down to beat. There's levels to this

2018: Aaron Fraudgers fraudulentin as usual beaten by 5 scores again

2020: After throwin a scrotum crushing pick at the verge of halftime which Goat Brady promptly converted and Rodgers unable to convert 3 straight downs, if you were Lefleur tell me you wouldn't take the ball off Fraudgers's hands

Pelicans would be dumb to do anything till he shows his durability and also there's something to be said about the unwillingness or inability to play defense. They will probably pay out of desperation. They really missed on Ja.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 10:40pm On Oct 29, 2021
Ordinary small changes in call and this generation of NBA players are already crying.. Trae is already whining that the refs have gone too far in allowing some defense happen. This is why I am very confident that they can’t handle or play in the old school. They should enjoy the money and just stop already..

Max bawo? He has to earn it. I doubt another team will take a max contract risk. If it happens, it will have a ton of clauses. Take a look at what the Nuggets did with MPJs contract. They know his history with injuries, so they did not guarantee a lot and there are tons of exceptions hinged on MPJs health and return. The owners are getting wiser and you can see it with how the Ayton contract conversation ended quickly. See, the Simmons and Kyrie situation as another example. In the past owners would have given in to a trade for Simmons/ Kyrie but not anymore.

Zion’s problem is his family and the Pelicans who are careless enablers in managing his health. They have over catered to him and his lack of control when it comes to food and workout. There is no way a player you refer to as a franchise player should be allowed to put on that much weight knowing fully well he has a bad knee. He should have had the off-season surgery immediately they decided to tank last season but they held on, allowed him to return home. Guess what? He returns to training camp north of 300 pound still injured and unable to do any serious workout and now the fans can’t see their franchise player, all he can do is eat, eat and eat!

I don’t think Zion has the killer mentality that Ja has. Ja earned my respect when he refused the Grizzlies plan to shut him down and tank the season 2 seasons ago. This man played his soul out and nearly got his team into the playoffs. Last year while the Pelicans who had a strong chance to make it into the playoffs were shutting down Zion, Ja was fought to get his team into the post season! Today, we are watching the rewards of those decisions Ja has made over the last two seasons. Ja is playing with a ton of confidence, has expanded his offense, including passing and is now a respected leader of that team because he has earned his stripe.

Just imagine a core of Ja, Ingram and Lonzo. I think they would have kept Ball if they had picked Ja instead of Zion.

When I heard he was 300lbs, I was more disappointed than shocked honestly. The buzz emanating from his camp, just screams of people who are enabling him just as to milk the cash cow for as much as possible

Forget it, I dont think Zion even has that mentality to care. I am very curious tho. they guys who called him the next Lebron, what did they see in him to make that pronouncement?

And Ja is growing on me mehn. The way the guy has improved, you can tell this guy cares about the craft. I think that is the mystery about the draft. You can evaluate a players skills. But how do you evaluate a players mindset? To me, there was nothing on draft day that suggested Ja is more serious than Zion. Nothing.

Luka will thrive. He did well in Europe and he did well in the Olympics. He just has to adjust to Jason Kidd's offense. The other 2 players especially Harden will suffer unless he just sticks to playing basketball. He is looking like a proper fraud now.

Russ shot 61% from the field today, attempting only 1 three (and making it) on his way to 19 points. This is what I want from him. Cut down on the jumpers and take the ball to the damn rack. Don't worry too much about filling up the stat sheet. Just contribute your quota to winning. And cut down down on your turnovers. Stop them outrageous passes.

And Melo.... Sheesh. When that man gets hot, it's lights out. 6/8 from 3 last night. We got ourselves a real spot up shooter.
