    Getting tenderize for an entire game isn’t fun. That’s why a lot to guys don’t want to play center.

    you should start a new thread on this random trade idea. I'm serious.

    Not sure if Curry wants to be on Dickerson's burner content.

    I knew after the Wemby one today it would be bad taste. Wanted to sneak it in here

    it could be a classic all time thread if you just have the nerve to lay it all out there . . . leave it all on the field so to speak ;)

    Fvv was the only person that would force Sengun in the post. It's not a coincidence that his game has suffered without Fvv.

    Reed and Amen spam Sengun at the top of the key where he starts wheeling and dealing into the paint with low success

    Brother, his shots are 75% of the time isos on centers where he posts up from the 3 point line and backs them down to the paint.

    It would be comical rooting for curry in a rockets jersey. I’d probably be laughing every game rather than actually watching

    Anyway, Alperen clearly looked like a different player when Reed Was feeding him the ball in the post and they ran two man actions

    Reed needs to tell Alpi that he’s the captain now.

    I asked this question days ago and since then I only have multiple replies that don't answer the question. Just some anecdotal instances of him missing shots he's made before.

    Let's say that you believe it's unrelated.

    But just humor me for a second:

    what should get way worse if the paint is extremely packed? Which statistics must be forced downwards in such a scenario?

    He will need to build more upper body strength playing the way he is and that only comes with time. That’s why centers take a bit longer to grow into their game. Jabari and Amen will also benefit from that imo.

    Dude has lost his mojo. Sheppard stole it. I guess that makes Sheppard Dr. Evil.

    Man, this board has turned on Alp the way they were at Green's throat last season around this time... What washed veteran will we trade Alp for in a failed attempt to improve the team?

    Board gets their wish — Giannis, who signs his 4 year 275M extension who then tears his achilles.
