It’s a racist insult. The H stands for hate, the N is the n-word, the D is die.

Urban dictionary is your friend with this one

Nice to see patience and talent finally get rewarded again

he saves the despair sowing for the raptors sub, our ultra reactive fan base really loves it after a loss in January

I’m outside right now

It is very cold at the crosswalk

A lot of the years he was with us he missed games here or there, but I’d also say we had plenty poor rosters around him. Like even if you replaced BI with a near top 15 player, idk say Jaylen Brown, I don’t think we would’ve been much more successful

He back.

I’d argue he should’ve been selected in 2023 and in 2021. He’s been hurt a lot when he was in New Orleans so he was definitely overlooked. Really happy for him now that he’s in a much better situation in Toronto. Been a fan of him since he was a rookie

There were a couple of years when I thought Ingram could have made it as an 11th or 12th reserve, I forget exactly which years though. Was never snubbed and all the players who made it over him always had good arguments in their own rights for sure, but I think he could have made it a few years and it wouldn’t have been egregious at all.

I guess the argument against that would be the pure statistical case. 22 ppg on sub 57 TS% with 3.7 assists to 2.5 turnovers is pretty uninspiring

Combine that with unimpressive impact metrics (121st in EPM) and his case feels entirely built on his teams record

i absolutely feel James Harden had a case over him though

He wasn’t deserving till like 4 guys got injured lol. He wasn’t an allstar. He got charity given a replacement spot.

28 year old Brandon Ingram does not have untapped potential, he’s the same player he’s been the last 7 years.

I dont disagree, but now that he’s on a team with a positive record, its an easier sell

Crazy how the season he has been good on defense he gets picked. Hmmm I wonder if there is a correlation or not… we will have to test this theory out

I wouldn’t say great, but definitely better than expectations and not a liability.

Injuries?

2014 Jrue played 34 games

2015 he played 40 games

2016 he played 65 games but came of the bench for 23 while he rehabbed from being largely injured the entire two previous seasons

2017 the Pels weren’t good, he was still somewhat limited, only averaged 15-7, he wasn’t and shouldn’t have been considered

2018 he could have made it, was all defense 1st team, there were no injury replacement guards in the west that year and the Pels got 2 allstars in the game already in Davis and Cousins so getting a 3rd allstar would have been a stretch

The next 2 years were the end of the Davis era with Boogie’s career ending injury and Davis’ trade request.

Once you get on a contending team the ability to have 2 players on the All-Star team increases dramatically and if you on a shit team the ability to have no players increases dramatically. It also helps that his GF is doing the celebrity game and he has been playing heavy minutes and avoiding injuries.

Jrue suffered and played with stress fractures his last year in Philly and they hid it from the pelicans in trade talks. The 76ers owner was sued and lost and had to pay the pelicans owner for it and the league changed rules on medical records after. It’s Philly‘s fault Jrue missed the better part of 2 years with the pelicans.

Catch all metrics like epm are kinda dumb when you’re looking at a player that is specifically asked to carry bad lineups and take bail out shots because they’re one of the better players at that in the league. Just look at how much more efficient scottie has been now that he doesn’t have to take those shots.
