The LaMelo-Ja trade is coming. Just perpetuating the disasters
It was the urn of a bail burnt to commemorate the death of England Cricket after they lost to Australia
The contrast I'll get between the optimism and excitement this episode displays…and the utter furor Matt George has on Locked on Kings today…will be delicious to put up against each other
im going to sit through bryce's pistons because we make him talk about my rockets every second video
Lamelo complaining about not having the help he deserves while shooting 5/21 from the field with 6 turnovers against an awful Pacers defense, getting benched in the 4th quarter, while Kon Knueppel looks like the perfect complementary playmaker/co-star for him is just the cherry on top of the cake.
yeah the ashes!
Jake Fischer pretty much said this lamelo stuff isnt true. Its other teams trying to get Melo (Iko is a former Rockets beat writer, maybe it's the rockets trying to stir it up)
The kelly iko article wasn't really written like someone who had inside knowledge. Lamelo wasnt benched against pacers, he reached his minutes limit. Lamelos team + hornets collarbating on a medical plan that includes this minutes limit. Charles Lee has mentioned this. If the article had sources from Lamelo they would know he wasn't benched, it was just a minutes limit.
That AD trade is a very interesting idea. Please don't send him to New Orleans. Ultimately, though, I'd love for him to stay on the Hornets, and for him and BM to get healthy. It's an exciting squad.
Lamelo and Ja are the same kind of super talented yet totally immature player.
Thank you Bryce!!!!!!
The extent to which a team or player does/doesn’t have weaknesses is as important as the extent to which their best attributes are more/less impactful than the other team/players’ advantages.
Love that point as to why Detroit is winning. Been saying that abt Boston for YEARS.
Also the reason why I feel players like Jokic n luka are overrated n players like shai n Tatum have been underrated historically
IMO ofc
Pistons on fire sounds like a gang bang video.
Detriot is not the murder capitol of America…contrary to what you see on Fox News.
The 4 inch Crickett Trophy is Yuge.
Stop taking credit from Daniss he ran the offense without Cade 3 games and went undefeated yall and this narrative Cade has to do everything is so stupid
OG is playing at All-star level and deserves to be all star too. Definitely better than Mobley…
Bryce nailed it with cades threes. If he gets that up to 37-38%, changes everything.
Like I said in summer league, I think Jenkins is better than Sasser at basketball.
