Donovan enters elite company: Michael & Iverson

We need an engineer to make some Kareem-esque goggles for Mitchell once play outside the bubble resumes. They should be engineered to somehow enhance the orange of the rim. I want Donovan to get these site lines and depth perceptions for the rest of his career.

Speaking of which, wouldn’t the dark, theater-like lighting they used to use during Lakers’ games help?

Let’s get the crew at Vivint on the phone.
 
I’m kind of sick of all the qualified stat stuff they are doing these days but this one I like. 50 pts is a nice round number and it’s a meaningful stat... also not qualified with age. Luka is amazing but the “he’s the first guy to do this at this age when getting a triple double”... I love Luka... the offenses now are heliocentric so these guys are going to crush records on the usual... just focus on the fact they are really damn good and not all the weird *** numbers.

It might but it’s a lot of just the feeling of a smaller gym too imo. I can’t imagine it has that much to do with it... I think he’s leveled up. He’s seeing the game so well and really cerebral. So I think it’s slowing down and he knows where his shots are coming from.

It's the not traveling part of it which is the biggest difference between bubble ball and regular playoff basketball.

Being triggered by stats in basketball is the strange thing.

Not triggered I just get a little sick of the ultra qualified stats. Its like we need them or we can't say how good they are without it.

He’s been unreal. But what I can’t wrap my head around is why do so many people think he’s still a chucker? I was under the impression that he was a lot more efficient this season. Just shows you people don’t watch Jazz games or look up DM stats

I didn't think he was at this level of poise and playmaking before on the season. He polished his offensive moves, but not his control of the game. For the bubble part, tho, he looks to have unlocked it all.

But for the side of calling him a chucker, ppl need to hate, and follow (and feed) overstated general belief, even (or principally) when it's not accurate.

I wouldn't go that far. Both Magic and Larry were superstars by the end of their rookie seasons.

This. Magic was an all-star his rookie year, and a key cog in winning a championship his rookie year. He scored 42 points, had 15 boards and 7 assists in the final game to win the championship series and was named finals MVP playing at C for injured Kareem. Mitchell has been fun to watch, has a few notches in his belt, but hasn't been anything on that level. Maybe this year though, the way he is playing right now.
