    Yes, Dyson Daniels would've won the game with by just making one free throw, but the pelicans defense never should've allowed a three point shot like they did at the end of regulation.

    Am I the only one who is relieved we stayed out of the Simmons hysteria? He is a shell of the player he was 2 years ago.

    If Luka ever gets a true AS 2 way wing like a prime PG or Klay, they’ll be winning championships for years to come.

    surround him with shooters and I think that would be the case. Make them pay for doubling him constantly.

    OG Anunoby is twice the defender and half the actor Marcus Smart is.

    Not if Dame ever gets a prime 2 way scoring wing like KD or Shaedon Sharpe.

    in the last 4 games he's scored 75 points on 85 shots; in the last 5 games it's 103 points on 110 shots; for the season, 145 points on 143 shots

    CJ leads the Pels in FGA/game at 20.4; Zion 19.0; Ingram 12.7....Dame has averaged 19.4

    CJ is at a career high in FGA, but he's at, by far, a career low in TS%. And his response has been to shoot more. He's been distributing the ball well in Ingram's absence, but the MeJ stuff is hurting his team...as always

    You know I am not a fan of CJ but he had a pretty complete game: 9 rebounds, 9 assists with only one turnover, 1 steal and two blocks.

    From the 10-minutes I watched of that game, it does look like he's dribbling the air out of the ball a lot less.

    That's great, but like..... you have an All-NBA caliber player on your team and you're taking more shots than him.

    Westbrick has averaged a triple double. His teams were shit and the stats were hollow.
