I haven't seen him play yet this year. Is he shooting at all from outside? Or are most of his points from around the basket? Looks like he's shooting about 25% from 3.

i hope your constant beating on Simmons doesn't come back in Karmatic fashion to bite you on Fultz. Glad the kid is settling into the NBA, and i don't think it could have happened in Philadelphia. Putting him in a small market where the fan base is more patient i think helped him to come back at his own pace. Was a solid by the Sixers to send Fultz there

Lol man I like the magic but if the only karmic beatings I take in life are them going 30-52 every year sign me up for that. They’re pretty far down on the list of things I am passionate about.

Blazers not doing a very good job of tanking.

30-52 has been a rough pattern, but if i had to pick a 1st round opponent for the Sixers the Magic is likely last 2-3 teams i would choose. No idea what kind of voodoo they have over the Sixers, but that series would be much closer to 50-50 then most would consider

Brandon Ingram is so fun to watch offensively.
What a crazy end of regulation. Ingram hits what everyone thinks is the game winner. Leaves 0.2 seconds left with Pellies up 1. Jaxson Hayes called for a foul on the inbounds
and sent Gobert to the line. Hits only 1 of 2 to go to OT.
Was a hell of an offensive duel between Mitchell and Ingram. Both over 40 at the end of regulation. Ingram finished with 49 and Mitchell with 46. Pellies won in OT.

Is it just me—or does Jokic look considerably heavier this year? I’m watching this Warriors vs Nuggets game and he just looks slower and chunkier than I remember him looking last season.

Only took 255 injuries to the roster but nice of Malone to let Porter Jr. finish out a game.
Cool idea to let your best players play.

I haven't seen Jokic play much this year but I'm pretty sure I remember Zach Lowe writing about him looking out of shape earlier in the season.

non-existent, to the extent that one wonders about the basketball instincts of a guy who can stand around that much

The Spurs are now responsible for 20% of the Hawks' wins this season. You're welcome Atlanta.
I didn't expect the Spurs to be great this season or anything but... oof.

I said it a year ago and I will keep saying, give me Ja over Zion. I have been telling mfers about him.
This is the time where every season I post about maybe there's some positive signs for the Pistons and then I have to ghost the thread. The Pistons have a long way to go. I do, however, believe in Dr. Doum.

Blazers dump salary to Kings.
Kings get: Kent Bazemore, Anthony Tolliver, 2 2nd-round picks
Blazers get: Trevor Ariza, Wenyen Gabriel, Caleb Swanigan, 2 trade exceptions

That is kind of weird. Are the blazers giving up? Tolliver and bazemore seemed useful for them.
maybe not giving up, but I guess they were being realistic about the marginal value of those guys relative to the tax.

Royce O’Neal extension quite nice for the jazz.
just barely more than cedi is an got but Royce is a much better piece.
seems significantly less than he would have gotten as a fa given this year’s class, but i guess it’s too much guaranteed cash to pass up for a guy who’s made nothing.

Bazemore has been pretty horrific this year, even in a down season Ariza should be an upgrade for them.
But yeah this is probably more about them saving money than anything.

Amare Stoudamire signs with Maccabi Tel Aviv.
Pretty amazing how closely his career mirrors with a player that drew many Amare comparisons pre-draft in Blake Griffin. Both All-NBA/All-Star types whose NBA careers fell off a cliff at 30.

i don't get how this Toronto team has so many wins. The Siachim magic has seemed to fade, and outside of Van Fleet there isn't a whole lot else there. Lowry still can flop like a champ, and beyond all reason, refs still love to reward it, but there really isn't much there

Dude single handedly brought them back from being down double digits. Gentry kept sending subs to the table then bringing them back. Apparently someone was putting a lot of pressure on to get Zion out of the game as he was exceeding his minutes allotment.Zion

Only had one FG in the first half. Only played 18 minutes. Still went for 22 points and 7 boards.Zion

Zion Williamson is the first rookie to score 17 points in a quarter in their #NBA debut since Jake Layman (17 points, 4th quarter, 11/1/16).

It's a shame they took him out so early. I get slowly working him back but if the kid is in the zone and the only reason you're in the game, let him continue.

Imagine buying a ticket to the Hawks/Clippers game thinking you were going to see Trae and Kawhi and Paul George battling it out.

I'll never understand modern pro sports load management. Zion had already sat out three months for what was initially billed a 6-8 week recovery. He has been practicing for over a month, and full-practicing for at least two weeks. So at this point ... is there really a medically-discernible risk difference between playing 18 minutes and playing, say, 22 minutes?
Really, doc? Really? I don't believe it. I just don't.

Yeah but: if Zion went over there and ate a ton of beignets ... that would HELP their business and make it easier for them to retain staff
I could be overthinking it, though.

You're overthinking it. Now that he's playing he has less time to eat and more pressure from everyone (as a major face of the NBA) to not look like Notorious B.I.G.Yeah but: if Zion went over there and ate a ton of beignets ... that would HELP their business and make it easier for them to retain staff

From that I can segue into the question:
Will Zion Williamson ever be the kind of player that can average 30-35 minutes a night over 78-82 games year in and year out? Or do modern load-management strategies preclude that kind of usage?
offdee
Footballguy
I think the big question isn't about load management, but more about his joints and limbs standing up to that constant beating. The size of that man combined with the force/torque/explosive movements he puts on his body is something we haven't really seen before. The concern is that he doesn't seem to be the type of person to be locked into his body and health and eventually that will catch up to him. We all hope it doesn't happen sooner than later.

load management to me is flushing intermittently while you poop so as to not clog the toilet. otherwise, let the human blob play.
