    I hope this is Simons coming out party. Or at least, he gains confidence.

    I like how he was telling Mario to leave the ref alone there.

    I think the game eventually will slow down for him.

    Lmao if JR smith hit that shot it would be a good amalgamation of Hezonjas career.

    Does JR Smith look like he's aged 15 years since he last played?

    CJ didn't even attempt the last second shot with elimination on the line.

    Totally agreed. I think he has a lot of the tools to be a good player (not Damian level good, tho who knows).

    I think repetition (I think that's what I mean...) would do him good.


    *whatever I mean...where you just get a lot of play in and get the motions down and don't have to think*

    I’ve never seen a worse basketball player than Spazonja. Especially given that he actually has ball handling skills. I don’t think Olshey has any clue.
