@_HAISTK@JmoneysteckNFL You right. I’m just thinking maybe he felt he needed to jump higher to account for Rudy’s presence in the paint. Idk what was going on. He started out that Minny series well the first 2 games and just went downhill from there

@G1DBAM Yep, Malone would not have had the end of the bench guys playing as well as they were. That game in Philly would’ve been a blowout L without Adelman instilling confidence in the 2nd/3rd stringers.
@klvrkhisyxxxx@sneakerbanditce@NBAMemes Where did I say that? I’m not saying it’s every possession. I’m saying the envelope is being pushed heavily in both directions as a coaching and personnel scheme.
Goodness, I have had so much care and understanding for daughters that I know their mothers did not love. People always assume that mother = always looking out for your best interest. Sometimes I wish these women were just honest to their daughters and would tell them they don’t love or care for them like they should. Instead of giving so much mixed messaging that makes the daughter constantly work for their affection or bend backwards for the mom and family by extension. It’ll never be enough. I almost want to tell them to always do the opposite of what their mother advises, not out of spite or rebellion. But to try to break the spell their unloving mothers have on them. Unfortunately, it’s not my place to do that, even if they literally ask me what they should do in certain situations sometimes.
Braun is the type of defender that works really well against a team like Boston - where he is switchable on Jaylen and even Jayson (he looks better defending bigger and slower guards/wings). For keeping up with shiftier, sometimes smaller and faster guards (like Shai or Steph Curry), it’s a more difficult proposition. He can’t “get skinny” moving through screens like KCP could when he was in Denver. Davion and Andrew’s defensive skillset is different in this regard.
@hvnathletics@SleeperNuggets Mans was a fast break demon 2 years ago which helped make up for what he was lacking. Seems the ankle injury took the wind out his sails. He needs to get back to that at least, it felt like Denver wasn’t even good in advantageous fast break situations last season
Yes and he be flopping too which is like cmon dog, you weren’t doing all that before. This has to be coached because even McCain started taking dives. It’s weird seeing them push the envelope on defense so much and simultaneously act so flimsy on offense. Are yall hard nosed and hard body, or not?? Cuz it can’t be both
@AllenDubs@NBAMemes To clarify, I’m referring to the fact he WAS beloved in LA - the sentiment is definitely different now. When I said “he still is”, I’m referring to him still being a dog of a player.
Lots of people in living in Colorado carry Vitamin D deficiency (Winter/Sun Gap, Altitude Skin Barrier Protection measures - like using sun screen and winter gear prevents you from retaining enough Vitamin D. Anyone living between Fort Collins and Castle Rock, is also often exposed to poor air quality.
@scorpiobarbara_ I remember watching Anthony Bourdains “A Cook’s Tour” as he spends a day getting to know a Carioca. Idk what this girl was thinking lol it’s not hard to figure out the point of their lifestyle
@donbueckers77@AnkLe_BrEakEr56@geoffschwartz We watched the games lol SGA averaged 10 free throws throughout, couldn’t get to 30 points without them at any point. Make sure you kiss your analytics at night before you go to bed.
