Skip thinks going against popular opinions makes him special and intelligent lol .....fool will soon start hating giannis too

American sports media in general is filled with hot takes and clickbait merchants. No sports analysis , just gimmicks and kayfabes.

All he's got to do is score 60 points tomorrow, and all his sins would be forgiven. grin. Fans generally have short term memories. When he scores 60 tomorrow, the narrative would suddenly shift to "he is up there with jordan as one of greatest scorers of all time" meanwhile the guy gets a major component of his points from free throws, and he is averaging 25 shot attempts per game. On his post season struggles, it will likely continue until he properly diversifies his shots during critical moments of the game. He drives, drives , tires himself out, then starts bricking. grin. Sometimes i can't help but think he's a rich man's original bricklayer(west), as breathtaking as he plays sometimes.I still wonder why the rockets don't realize that putting two bricklayers together doesn't augur well. We will likely see the artistry of bricklaying in full effect come playoff. grin. Missing 27 straight 3-pointers would be child's play. Or perhaps the league could help him out by awarding as little freethrows as possible in the regular season. Maybe he will learn then, and be more diverse in his shot selection . But I have to admit some of those 60-point games are nothing but sensational. grin
bruh wTF man ,a player can't just have a bad game. Bruh u sound like scoring 60 is easy man. My mans been scoring 50 with 10 Ft attempts bro. Don't hate man,harden is the TRUTH.

Oh sorry bro. I agree, He's really the truth, but in bricklaying. grin grin

A rough welcome to the post season for my boy Jackson.That pass was too high for Mark Andrews and the Titans has another a safety sitting under so Lamar kind of under rated that secondary and he learnt the hard way. Let’s see how he reacts when he come back in.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 2:56am On Jan 12, 2020
Oh boy, it’s going to be a long night! Big credit to M. Vrabel and his DC, they definitely had great sessions studying the Ravens offense especially L. Jackson.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 3:14am On Jan 12, 2020
He is not going through his progressions well and his throws lack the spiral so they are not accurate especially when he throws to the outside edge. His throws have been either behind, too high or over thrown.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 3:35am On Jan 12, 2020
His throwing motion is different, it does seem like his most accurate throwing motion is the side arm throw, not over the shoulder.

M. Brown with a delightful one hand catch!

D. Henry is a problem!! The man is impossible to stop when he runs and now he is throwing touchdowns?

Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 5:27am On Jan 12, 2020
No Bron, No AD and no DG and the Lakers still beat a very tough OKC team. Rondo of all people with a great performance. Kuzma looked like an all star. This team is a problem.
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 5:38am On Jan 12, 2020
Rondo turning it on against his archenemy CP3 was great. Doesnt mean he'll suddenly be good again especially in the regular season but it makes me believe in playoff Rondo again. Kuzma needs to have more plays run for him even when LeBron and AD are playing, only way he can show what he's capable of. This team is a wing defender and health away from a guaranteed championship.
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 5:58am On Jan 12, 2020
Lmaooooooo I told niggas who were drinking the Lamar Jackson Kool-Aid. The playoffs are a different animal. Did they think it was beans to win at Foxboro?

Derrick Henry is a problem. Wow! Loudmouths like Earl Thomas was talking a good one before the game. Derrick ran 195 yards on them and sired Earl Thomas and made him his blocker by spinning and stiff arming him to next week
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 6:02am On Jan 12, 2020
Giannis and his band of white walkers marching to another routine win. Would be really interesting to see how Milwaukee do in the playoffs. I expected a slight drop off from last season but they have insanely gotten even better.

Hard to see them not winning 65 games at least

Tristan Thompson is a fraudster. Hes about to become a free agent again and he's balling out. Buy at your own peril.

Though I am a bit more optimistic about this season than I was Last, two things still greatly worries me. Numero Uno is the Supporting cast. Most especially Bledsoe. Khash has been more a bit more consistent this season however He still tends to blow Hot and Cold on the regs. No2 is Coach Bud. Great Coach but I'm still not convinced He knows How to make ingame adjustments. If they sort those two things out, they'll go far.

76ers are my pick in the East. Not only do those dudes know How to turn it on against the Big Boys, they also match up well with them. If only Ben could shoot, they'll be my Favs overall.

right? 195 yards! Oof. But is this sustainable? And In a passing era? Maybe in the 1990s, it would feel more convincing cos how the game was structured; a running back contributed more value to winning. Emmitt smith did win a superbowl MVP(he did have troy aikman and Irvin), but with a ryan tannehill as your QB(did throw a 2 touchdowns, but 88 yards? Lol) .

Make no mistake about it bro, D. Henry is the best running back in the league as of today! LB and safety’s are scared of tackling him because he just bullies you or stiff arms you out of the way. This is no fluke because this is how he has been playing all season especially since Tannehill arrived Tennessee, not saying Tannenhill is a great QB.
I would also give big credit to the O& DLine coaches. That O&DLines beat both the Patriots and Ravens at the line of scrimmage. The Ravens were 0-3 in 4th & 1 conversions! That is beast mode from the D Line. They made my boy look very ordinary and exposed a lot of his weakness, they did the same thing to Patriots. This Titans team remind’s me of the 2017 Jaguars under D. Marrone with L. Founette as RB and horrible B. Bortles as QB.

Yards are the most overrated and inflatable stat anybody looking at a box score can observe.

They led from wire to wire so no need to pad stats with vanilla yards ala Dak Prescott to try and mask a mediocre performance. The important thing is they ran the ball, Ryan didn't turn it over and he made big throws when it mattered

The Bucks had to go through the growing pains and right of passage any team trying to win a Championship goes through. Bar the 99 Spurs and 08 Celtics I don't think any team jumped straight to a title without encountering difficulties.

I want to believe they will be better suited to take care of business this year.

As for the Sixers I'm still not sold on them, they could finish as low as 5th or 6th and have to go on the road all 3 rounds. Bar Embiid who you can't even trust to stay healthy I literally don't trust any other player on the roster to deliver. Not Harris, not Horford and definitely not Ben Simmons (Mr zero points in the second half)

I totally agree with you, even the 99 Spurs if you look at it closely was almost the same team that was bamboozled but the Dream led rockets and for that season they added a MVP candidate in Duncan to their roster via the draft.
I am not totally sold on the Bucks, but IMHO they have 6 players other than Giannis who can comfortably score double digits in points on any given night. Thus I think they should consider second and third option by committee and ride the hot hand on any given day as their 2nd and 3rd options

i get. But it speaks to a certain lack of confidence In your QB when the team runs the football this much... 30 carries? The best teams are the ones who have always been able to do both! It shows a lot about your offense and how predictable it is...vrabel has been a doing a Phenomenal job with the play calling tho'. tannehill job has practically been- "get out of way and let henry cook, and maybe don't make a mistake". A game manager! And am trying to remember when a team has won a super bowl with a Qb like that in this era. Joe flacco? He was cold as ice in their 2012 superbowl... 11 touchdowns, no picks.

i know how surreal Henry is! And that offensive line? Sheesh! My reservations are about the QB. You have to be a do more than 7 passes for 88 yards. There is less of a margin of error with this offense. Teams could at least in theory slow King henry, and force tannehill to beat them In the air. then what?
