Paul Pierce on Drummond is stuck in my head

 

[Peep Game]

And so much to show for it, too.

Scrub *** team.

Your new avy

 

[abematic]

I’m glad to see that Bucks have finally found how to execute and win games. That was their biggest challenges last season.

They’re trusting each other down the stretch.

 

[buc em]

He shouldn't even be playing if that's the case.

It's hard not to. Most of the time it'll feel completely fine til you go to push something up like a basketball or weights. In my case it didn't bother me at all while I was playing other than when I was shooting jumpers so I kept playing through it too.

I thought Drummond was gone be Dwight-lite

17-14 type of guy

 

[617collector]

Tatum vs Porzingis tonight

 

[youngthundercat]

Let’s be real here...nobody in the league can guard this dude except maybe Marc and whiteside. Everybody is bbq chicken.

I seen this fool do a double jab step back from like 18...dude is the true unicorn. What a time to be a fan of basketball bc Actually there are a few unicorns.

Why Jahlil Okafor still getting DNPs?

bc he’s done in Philly and now he has no trade value. They held on too long.

Drummond-Always was just bigger than everyone. I had high hopes off his age at Uconn coming here. He has ZERO work ethic. Even got 100 million with ZERO work ethic and decided hey, why do I need to work hard I got paid already. NO SKILL at all which is sad because of what he could of been.

Stanley Johnson-Dude was garbage I wanted Winslow over him so bad in that draft (he does not look that much better), people were hyping Stanley up because of his size but he never really had skill or IQ. Last year some of his boys were hyping him because he was as big as lebron, only problem is he was so big he could not even more laterally anymore. He is DONE.

Reggie- DO NOT even get me started on that bum, Dribble, Dribble, Dribble east and west and can never go north to south with the rock, jumper is HORRIBLE, he has ONE move which is that BS floater and can only come off a Drummond pick. Get your *** back to the bench on a different team you bum.

Avery Bradley does not even look right over because we have no playmakers like he had in Boston to get him good looks or even off ball motion.

I HAVE HAD IT!!!!!!!!!!

I feel bad for you man. Y’all are going nowhere fast like no future. I wanna like Tobias but man he so inconsistent. Blow that **** up. Except Luke.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Drummond really only gets to the line 3x a game.

#poor

Stanley Johnson = Michael Kidd-gilchrist

 

[noblekane]

what about sending fultz to the d league? he could get in a groove while getting heavy minutes there.

 

[nick.]

Stanley Johnson = Michael Kidd-gilchrist

Disrespectful to MKG

 

[youngthundercat]

Stanley Johnson = Michael Kidd-gilchrist

Don’t disrespect my mans MKG

 

[lovehateself]

what about sending fultz to the d league? he could get in a groove while getting heavy minutes there.

I'd put The Brow on that list.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Sending him to G league would crush his confidence.

Issue is Dwight wasn't just the stats. He was also a lockdown defensive piece for his whole career.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Fultz shoulder isn’t going to magically heal in the G league

Fultz shoulder isn’t going to magically heal in the G league

Exactly honestly I think what would be best is to hold him out for a couple weeks. No shooting or lifting, just ice and heat on his shoulder. After that he should be good to go.

 

[equality]

My question is if he does have that bad of a shoulder problem, he wouldn't even want to shoot. But he's shooting but trying to change his form? Like how does changing his form prevent pain? It's either not shoot at all due to pain, or shoot how you've always shot despite the pain.

 

[abematic]

What ya think about Bledsoe to MKE
Parker to Suns?

 

[VARNELL HILL]

He's shooting 9 feet and in. That's alot easier to do with a hurt shoulder than shooting mid-long range.

 

[moonman818]

LOL if you believe for one second Sixers would play someone with the sniffles, let alone a seriously injured shoulder.

 

[Quincy McCall]

I still believe Stanley could be a decent offense player, his confidence is just shook. I mean he's barely attempting shots now

Crazy how RHJ looks like a better offensive player right now to both Stanley and Winslow, might be too early to tell but seems to say a lot about their physical gifts/limits and development relative to expectations

 

[Lovetohate3000]

are people making up injurys and assuming things again.... just like how embiid wasnt really hurt last year.

nah im not buying the hes hurt theory.
