    Were you one of the ones saying Barnes was overrated when we all discussed trading Dame for him? The dude is a baller.
    30 pts, (5-10 from 3) 11 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals.....

    Its not just his weight. Its how he slams that weight around. He is too quick for his own good. He comes down hard alot.

    I do not understand Charlotte. They’re playing Ball like he’s 40. Meanwhile we are riding Shaedon for 40+ minutes. Ball has 12 minutes of play in the first half. He’s not in foul trouble.

    LaMelo can pass but he has zero scoring game. Like literally nothing. I think Scoot is gonna be way better.

    Yeah, we were better off with what our top three pick did for us.

    Dude really thought karma wouldn’t catch up with him.

    Draymond Green loves this time of the year, the holiday season. And his favorite holiday music is the Nutcracker suite by Tchaikovsky.

    It's not like we could have drafted Miller. The Blazers took who was left at #3 that was one of the top-3 rated players by almost everyone in the league.

    Classic take on a night he goes for 23 in the 4th quarter. You might just be the new JinxSpeed.

    One amazing quarter.....for a guy shooting 34% from the field and 32% from '3'. He has been brutal this season shooting the ball. Kid can pass though.

    He won me the week in fantasy so I’m thrilled with the outcome.

    If you're going to discount it as being one quarter, aka a sample size argument, then you have to factor in his season numbers are based on only 5.75 games. His career numbers aren't great, but they're much better at 42%/38%, so it's just as likely that 4th quarter was him breaking out of a mini-slump as it was an aberration for a lousy shooter.

    Dang bro, that’s savage.

    That’s worse than saying that the Grizz would have wanted to draft him so they could have a lethal duo with him and Morant.

    Discount it for being one quarter? It is exactly the "he goes for 23 in the 4th quarter" post that I was responding to. It literally refers to one quarter. So then took the entire (short) season as a comparison which at the time I looked at BBR, which included every quarter. To take away that great quarter, and his numbers for the season would be even worse.

    You clearly don't understand the small sample size argument. Waste of time talking to a wall, carry on.
