    I don’t think it’s a zone, I’m gonna say Layman is just really good and getting better. He just hasn’t been giving the playing time necessary to really show his game, that better change, he’s got the highest ceiling of any 3 on our team imo.

    There was definitely a few minutes where it was pretty clear he was really going, you could tell everyone out there even the pelicans knew it too. I understand the "math" behind the guy's argument about percentages and the next shot attempt, but still it was pretty obvious he was "feelin' it" and I think almost everyone who's played a sport knows when a guy has it going like that, it doesn't happen super often, but it does happen.

    there's that supposedly true story about Don Coryell, coach of the San Diego Chargers who was an offensive 'genius', getting frustrated in a game because the defense kept giving up 1st downs on a long drive...he screamed at his defensive coordinator "just let them fucking score so we can get the ball!"

    Fuck that guy, I read his post and clearly he has never played a sport in his life. So no way for him to know what zone is.

    Yeah Dame needs to pick up the slack because obviously Jake is not going to shoot near 80% again

    I dunno I think people forget game 1 vs the Lakers when Steaksuace was losing his mind, that was pretty incredible too. Especially because of how much we hate the Lakers. Only problem was there were way too many Laker fans in the arena.

    I wish I could thank those Maryland graduates who told me that Jake was better than Diamond Stone and Turgeon's other players. Damn if they weren't right.

    There are less opposing fans at this game than any other game this season.

    the way the NBA is evolving they could play together as a SF/PF combo.

    It's a fact that when guys get in a zone they often times will miss a really hard heat check against a defense that's loading up in them. But without context, they missed, so they werent in a zone! Smh haha

    He'll be a restricted free agent at least with full bird rights.

    Exactly. Too many Laker fans at that game. This has been best crowd response (and unity) of the year.
