RiskelWillow:
Rockholds kicks are something else. But it seems his chin issues remain at LHW. Great fight so far.

RiskelWillow:
The second man on my get knocked spark out list, Ben Askren! Everything about him annoys me.

RiskelWillow:
Okay God. I know I'm riding my luck here, I know this may be too much of a reach but can you please have Holly Holm knock out that dyke? Please!!!

RiskelWillow:
And still!

RiskelWillow:
And still!

RiskelWillow:
Steady986 Your man caruso is back and he got a good contract too. People want him to start because he can obviously shoot and is a better defender than our other options. I like cook as the starter and Rondo leading the second string. And theres the Kuzma dilemma since AD hates playing center. What would be your ideal starting 5?

Hardetayour:
How many minutes would they be giving u all game. Cook shoots less than 3 3s a game.

Volume also matters bruh. Klay is a career 40% 3pts shooter. Does that mean those 3 are better?

RiskelWillow:
Very very close but Jones has the edge. Just because you don't like him doesn't mean he lost.

steady986:
We signed Alex Caruso. That's it...crown us champions now.

steady986:

What it means is that these guys can shoot threes. They may be low volume shooters but it's only because they play few minutes. And we have four of them at 40% or higher. If one is not on the court then another will be.

Hardetayour:
Loool. Cook that sees the 3 ball and still pass? Leeemmaaaooo.

Roland17:

Your boy Jones was very very lucky last night because that split decision could have gone anywhere. I will not count Santos slip as a knock down because it was a clear slip, even Jones was shocked to see him go to the ground. We all underestimate Santos and he gave Jones a very good fight that could have been his victory if he capitalized early.

RiskelWillow:


It was close fight that was hard to score but jones won in my eyes. There are two rounds where the winner is clear the 3 and 4 and both belonged to jones. Natural that the people who dont like him will give all the others to Santos even though jones won at least one if not two of these rounds. I'm sure many didnt think it was close until the commentator said it was and joe rogan said it was possibly 2-2 in the 5th. Apart from the slip jones hit him with an elbow that sent him down. Santos threw a lot of hay makers that got oohs and aahs from the crowd but the man was punching air most of the time. Jones controlled the fight all through, pushed forward, threw fewer shots and landed more, a very mayweather-esque performance from him for tow reasons IMO. One the amount of KOs in the earlier fights many against the favorite and one against his teammate holly holm got to him so he decided to play it safe. Two, notice how he shot for one only takedown contrary to what people expected and this is for one of two reasons, jones likes to beat a person at his own game, like taking down and out wresting DC multiple times, maybe he wanted to leave the fight on feet to prove a point. And i think that people talk about santos leg but jones did a good job of hiding the fact that his leg was hurt as well, he had to be carried out by his coach and brother after the fight and this is another thing that can explain why he didnt take it to the ground.

Santos said hed shock the world and he did, not only by going the distance but stealing a scorecard from jones, something no one has ever done with basically one leg. I know dana said the fight wasnt close and that anyone who scored it for santos was an idiot but i think for the single fact that santos had one leg they should run it back, jones should also want to put it beyond any manner of doubt like he did his first fight with Gus.


The fight game has so many controversies and i admit there is corruption especially in boxing but many allow their feelings to sway how they saw a fight especially when its close and especially against someone who is as hated and as invincible as jones. If its not a KO people will always complain and even when theres a KO they still complain. Can you believe people are calling Masvidals KO of Askren a sucker punch and his celebration classless? LOL! After everything Askren said and did with his annoying face and voice thats exactly what he deserved. I hope his brain is fine though. It was a good card all through, sanchez showed heart and chiesa showed that he could be a problem at 170, Rockhold got knocked out, Askren got knocked the fvck out, i wanted holly to win but you have to respect amandas greatness, and then santos gave a very good fight.

steady986:


I like Caruso, that guy is a tough guy. He looks like an Italian mafia. Whether he starts or not, he's a good addition to the squad. I think he should be involved more in crunch moments, whether defending or attacking... He can shoot threes, drive to the basket, he can rebound and is our best defensive point guard. The good thing is he can play the 2 too.

But I'd love our starting five to be:

Rondo
Green
Bron
Kuz
Davis

Davis won't play the 5 all game, so he should just relax. There'll be several combinations and I'm sure the staff will be looking to work them out.

Roland17:

Even though a knock down does not necessarily determine or tell the story of a fight, a knock out buttresses finesse in the fight game. Don’t get me wrong, Jones had a good fight but going into a split decision against an obvious underdog makes it difficult to sing an overwhelming praise for him.
Joe Rogan’s comment only buttresses the fact that no one saw it going to the 5th and when it did, it is only natural to credit the underdog for going the distance. Jones showed his experience in the later rounds as he managed the space and gave some important hits and boy was he lucky those haymakers by Santos did not meet, else it would have been a totally different story for him and his camp.
Masvidal’s flying kick knock out was the highlight of the night for me and you can hear from his post match that he entered the fight really upset at Ben Askren and had a plan all the way. Typically fighters don’t take such risks the early seconds of the fight but Askren’s mouth did not match effort.

RiskelWillow:


My problem with rondo starting is spacing. Secondly feel like kuzma wont get enough shots starting with lebron and davis and is better off with a sixth man role with rondo creating shots for him and boogie/javale (whoever they choose to start). The coaches will keep AD from the 5 not only because he doesnt want to but because of his health as well, centers get banged up too often. I like that we have options though and there are still spaces on the roster so i can't wait to see who else we add. Melo, Korver, Iggy and maybe bradley are still viable options.
