I dont get why people want Mendoza to just throw check downs and play it safe in pre-season. This is the time to try to make the hard passes, when the games dont matter and see what your receivers and you can make happen. Of course he can nickel and dime people down the field
@StephenLindsey@Three_Cone Worse, why does nobody talk about how the hornets load managed lamelo to keep him healthy to trade him. The wolves can't do that they are trying to win....and losing a culture piece like Naz is a huge blow for locker rooms. Naz is gonna be a regret come next year.
@9ninesburner@PRIMO_XL It matters if Ant is beat up in the playoffs like he was last year. Wolves, Denver, Lakers use stars to carry them there and the stars are beat to hell by the time they make it to the first round.
@UsherNBA They had to load manage Lamelo last year to get a healthy season and Rudy is only getting older. They cieling may be really high, but the floor is real low.
@ShowTimeeLA Last year everyone talked about how Luka, bron and Rui won't work because they all guard the 4, now everyone has forgot that Luka guards 4s.
@VinoUncorked They had to load manage Lamelo all last year to keep him healthy. He played 28mpg. He now has to play forreal basketball. Its a gamble he stays healthy and that they are contenders
@ddpage369@damanr He would have been taking the plays lebron had last year. Force a mismatch, get him the ball and let him go to work. Lebron still averaged 20 even as the third option
