Yes. Giving someone condolences is super harsh.
My bad.

The real, true, admired assholes proudly admit being assholes and don't hide meekly.

I'm not a fan of the Svi Mykhailyuk backup point-guard motif. I hope we don't get too much of that tonight.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Toronto starting Jakobe Walter and Orlando Robinson. They're throwing down the gauntlet too.

Walker tanking it seems

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Brice is the least athletic guy on the floor right now. That's not actually an insult. The Raptors have a bunch of speed demons out there.

Walker tanking it seems

on the other hand 4 rebounds and 4 points in 4 minutes aint bad. Seems to be playing hard as well.
Glad hardy took him out just now.
3 turnovers tho

 

[fishonjazz]

They gave collin sexton a block for that chase down steal lol. Lowest blocked shot in nba history.

Jakobe Walter currently outscoring the Jazz 7-6.

No way the hornets can beat the cavs right? (tied up 32-32 rn)

 

[KqWIN]

Pressing and trapping the Jazz is a terrible way to try to tank against them.

I think you can say the same thing about a bunch of guys, including Karl Towns, Domantas Sabonis, Alperen Sengun and Al Horford. In the case of Horford and Towns, they've been able to play next to other bigs, mostly because they can kind of play defense on the perimeter (though it's not great).

Horford is not in that dilemma at all. He is still a great defender at both positions and was elite for his career.

The other guys don’t have this dilemma because they are the elite of the elite offensive bigs.
