Wow I’m first lol
First
Jason, you never responded to my DMs when you said you'd shout out anyone on All-NBA who predicted the Suns smashing their over-under total like they did, even when I provided receipts.
I think you are unrealistically high on the Warriors, especially with Butler and Moody out until at least ASB. Given how the Suns smacked them around in the play-in, what is your reason for optimism over the Suns who got better and now their young studs are in Year 2?
LeBron James positive ? LOL 🎉Marcus smart got offers two
Years 9,5 mio a year 🎉totally understand the new direction! They got younger faster and more athletic 🎉high volume three 3️⃣ point shooting 🎉let’s go lakers 😅
Personally, I think Luka’s 3pt shooting fluctuations are alittle bit overblown. Shai has the same fluctuations when you actually look at it month to month, even when Shai attempts lower 3 pointers than Luka. Shai had two months he shot 25 and 30 percent from 3. Luka has also that November and December month of shooting 28 and 34 percent from 3. And this is on high volume. October he shot 35 percent but majority of the time he was well above league average in the 39-40% from 3. I’m not worried about Luka’s 3s. Now I’m not saying Luka’s 3s don’t fluctuate but there’s a ton of context to his shooting. I think he will be more reliable as a 3pt shooter across the board this seaskn
I love when you do math. When he shoots 32% instead of 37% (which was mostly during the time when his wife left and took the kids), that meant he was missing 5 shots out of every 100. So at his WORST, he was missing 1 extra shot every 2 games. Yeah, that's giving up a lot of transition points to the other team….1 opportunity every 2 games (and that's the worst stretch he had all season). You're definitely not making a big deal out of nothing. Remind me again what Steph shot from 3 last year? In his entire career no matter what he shot, has ANYONE ever suggested he was hurting the team after a bad shooting game?
WHAT'S GREAT ABOUT ANY OF THE YOUNG SPURS….
NONE OF THEM ARE BETTER THAN GRIMES….MMAH HAVE A UPSIDE OVER HIM…
..
BUT LAST SEASON….NONE CLEARLY ABOVE GRMES
Everyone was a bench player/ sixth man ay some point in their career and that's how many la guys are view that doesn't mean they don't have the skills to become starters
This is the first time I’ve heard someone say start mamu at the 4 lol
1) LAke 🟣🟡 Show: 47-35
2) Suns/GSW: Play-In
4/5) LAC/SAC: “Bad”
Warriors could really just miss the play in, I mean it’s that dire that even the clippers could somewhat be better bc if curry misses any time they are losing those games
Finally, someone states the truth about LUKA. Appreciate you not glazing like most other podcasters.
Stop crying about LeBron
Lakers aren't going anywhere. Should have kept Bron and Marcus on their current contracts, traded for Walker and what you saw in March would have been the blueprint, Luka best player in the world with 2 all stars and a massive upgrade at center.
