The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Night

At this point I think he is in on the 31 points joke.

Luka stayed in for an extra minute to play against the other team's benchwarmers

Jacked up two stepback threes, then finally checked out

Shai was just a more successful scammer

 

[datznasty]

didnt Luka just do this exact thing a few nights ago to get the 3D?

Very clear case of

 

[B Sox]

That JDubb take is VERY hot takey

And I love him. But he’s in an awesome situation.

 

[WASHED KING]

Should be Joker by a landslide IMO.

Whoever ends the 1 seed should get it barring injury.

Huge fan of Jdub and think he's still underrated (efficiency and defense). 53.8% FG, 19pts/4reb/4+ast. He keeps getting better and growing his game. Watched him as multi-position primary defender of opposing teams best guys. Has to play up and guard big PFs and holds it down, then watched him guard Kyrie last night, as well as great help defense.

he's not a #1 option, but can be a #2-3. He's on one of the best contracts in the NBA at 4.5mil/year this year and 4.7mil/year next year

 

[Based Jesus]

No one should be doing it

Jdubb is real but I don’t even understand a Paolo comparison

 

[ballinsam23]

Yea JDub is legit, those splits are seriously good.

Take still hot.

 

[elpablo21]

Gonna follow in the footsteps of Harden out of OKC.

Jdubb is real but I don’t even understand a Paolo comparison

Paolo: 21/5.7/5.3/3.1 TOs on 45.7% FG, 77.3% FT
Jdubb: 19.2/4/4.5/1.7 TOs on 53.8% FG, 81.9% FT

Paolo does a bit more on offense and can create, Jdubb does more on defense. Paolo got a little more counting stats, Jdubb more efficient. Don't think it's too wild to compare them

Luka is apart of the unshameables that's the difference.

Jdubb: 19.2/4/4.5/1.7 TOs on 53.8% FG, 81.9% FT

Nah can't compare Batman to Robin.

This is why you can't compare Steph to Bron.

 

[antidope]

What is funny/ridiculous B Sox ?

1. Tatum
2. Porzingis
3. White
4. Brown

Where is the flaw there? You watch more of the games than I do so I'm curious. I come in peace

This is nasty work















Keep going.

I think the real problem with Boston is that they have 4 #2's.

Well, don't think JDubb will have an opportunity to be Batman cause he got MVP candidate on his team. Paolo Batman level? ready to compare him to Bron?

I mean you can...Bron is clearly the winner in this scenario.

This sounds like an excuse

Completely ignoring that he plays next to one of the most prolific scorers in the league and a 7’1” guy who shoots 40% from 3

JB is the only other guy on the team that can consistently create offense off the dribble.

He and KP are very much 2A/2B.

 

[WASHED KING]

Tatum 2a
Brown 2b
KP 2c
White/Jhrue 2d

I would argue if he switched places with Paolo, Jdubb would have more opportunity and would be the #1/2 option for Orlando, scoring more, with more counting stats. While Paolo would be the 2nd option and have lower stats, probably a bit better efficiency w/ OKC since there's much more mouths to feed. Jaylen Brown is the current example of lower stats on a better team compared with last year when they had less offensive options (Robert Williams at C)
