Not half as crazy as Xavier Tillman playing 14. Im convinced the Celtics sent him as a sleeper agent

Legit. We have started Taj Gibson, Mason Plumlee, Marques Bolden, Nurk, and Nathan Mensah over the past three years. This was the first time I was like “No, that’s just not an NBA player”

Trade deadline, we moved Plumlee and needed a big and I think the Celtics needed a tiny bit of cap relief.

Kon is running away with ROTY at this rate, Mavs are just dropping with Coop putting up inefficient numbers and some bad box scores while Kon is just increasing the 3pt record on a hot team

Appropriate_Book_591

He should win it, but they will find a reason to give to Flagg because he has higher potential and more responsibility or whatever.

TypoStart

Not sure there’s any reasonable argument to give it to Flagg over Kon at this point

homestroke | Mavericks

as a non-biased mavs fan I don’t see any way you don’t give it to Kon. Cooper’s looked great and looked meh. Kon has only looked great.

Mavs got gifted the #1 pick and didn’t even pick the best white dude from Duke that season. Kinda crazy!

Always had a soft spot for the Charlotte Hornets, not the Bobcats not New Orlean Hornets just Charlotte Hornets. if it wasn’t Sonics in NBA Jam I rocked with Grandmama and Zo. Then 2k on Dreamcast Baron Davis season was fun. Glad the Hornets are back and should continue to improve.

Man 2K on Dreamcast. I had a create a character that looked just like me throwing lobs to young Vince Carter.

39 without a 3-point FGM is nuts

fuzzythinker | Nuggets

6 | 5 hours ago

Those that think Kon has a ceiling and can’t be a superstar are going to revise their thinking. Being a key contributor in bringing a near bottom team into top-8 or at worst play-ins while leading the entire league in 3PM and 13th in TS% is just nuts. I still won’t bet he’ll be better vs. Flagg, but he’ll be a superstar.

homestroke | Mavericks

2 | 4 hours ago

yeah his shooting/efficiency is next level. I don’t doubt cooper can be the better player but this is not the year. Give the kon his dues and Cooper might have a PG next year.

gargoyleboy69 | Bulls

Big first half from Melo. Great bounce back performance from Miles, even if he isn’t here long term the team’s gonna need him to be the best version of himself to climb the standings.

Big test on Saturday in San Antonio. Gonna need Grant and Coby to ball out as well.
