Speaking of Scottie Pippen… Jazz Twitter is listing after Bilal today. He had a dunk and some nice defense but not sure why folks are slobbering… what did I miss? He banked an elbow jumper and also had a 5 step travel that got missed somehow and muffed the layup. Not saying he sucks but was he awesome today and I wasn’t locked in or sumthin?
 
Yes. Obviously. If he doesn't get hurt then he is pretty much guaranteed to be a top 5 player within the next 5 years imo. And he would just be about to enter his prime at that point lol.
I do think he has to cha.ge his mentality at some point. He just settles for so much. He's going to get better at making those shots but to be the GOAT he has to get some easier buckets
 
Gobert was +3 in the game. Still don't get why France didn't go back to the Gobert lineup for a few minutes in the 4th.

Lessort was a -7.

I’d prolly be having a discussion with the coach before committing any more summers to the team. He sold him out on the injury thing and played him sparingly. He will likely still play but I’d have a little beef if I was Rudy.
 
K well also Horace Grant and BJ Armstrong. Ron Harper also scored 20 points a game for like 7 seasons prior to signing with the Bulls.

Let’s not act like Jordan didn’t have incredible help.
Ya you are repeating the stuff I told him already. We covered it.

I just realized Lauri has taken more three pointers (7.7 and 8.0, with 39.1% and 39.9% clip) last two seasons, than what Klay's 3pa career average (7.6) is.
Yep what Lauri has done the last 2 seasons is incredible....... And still no where close to what Curry does basically every year of his long career. He is just in another league. I would also argue that Steph is the tightest guarded player on the perimeter and gets less open looks than most.

I know you weren't arguing any of that I just had to add it in.

Lauri deserved his money and I expect him to be phenomenal throughout his contract. Just kinda hope he has 1 down year next year lol

Ya I thought he took too many threes his rookie year and also today. But again, he is a rookie and a freak of nature.
I have no worries about him becoming a top player in the league very quickly.

I do still worry about injuries with him more than most. Whether that is warranted or not. He just has such a fragile appearance to him.
