Official Game Thread: Hawks at Grizzlies

[nathan2331]

JJJ and Trae are exactly who I thought they would be.  JJJ is the best looking rookie in the league right now.  

Trae is playing better in this game. JJJ is still soft.

baze, bembry, and jjj suck

Braves, Hawks, Falcons... three teams at wildly different part in their roster lifespan... all just love giving the other team points .

Poythress should be starting in place of the injured Collins. Vince is a straight liability playing as a 4.

Well, that was a half of basketball that I’ll never be able to unsee.  

Are you sticking around for 2nd half of a game you want to unsee?

[terrell]

Temple killing us just like THJ...

im listening to the memphis broadcast trying to make plumlee a freat defender.

Trae Young is a hooper PERIOD. He’s going to be running this offense for years. But man we need another legit ball handler to go with him. I don’t think Prince is that guy. Prince has gotten better but he fits a different style that caters to his actual skill set.  

Prince doesn’t need to dribble too much to actually score though so that’s the good part

We just don't have the size to compete with them down low. Gasolis already a load to handle.

It makes what JJJ does sound better. JJJ had played well, but I doubt he would if Collins and Dedmon were healthy.

Falcons would be a different story if Jones, Neal, Allen were healthy. You can’t expect the defense to get back to top 10 when those guys are out...two of them being pro bowlers

League Pass trial has been downright brutal on my poor remote!

Odd NBA stat in the NYK-BRK game. Knicks w/ 2 team TOs, Nets w/ 21. Knicks up 2.

This is what you call denial.  It’s OK to admit that JJJ is a Great prospect and that I was 100% correct in my evaluation of him.

He wasn’t that impressive under the goal with vc on him. I mean I expect him to score in the paint when SG is on him that deep in the paint .

This game would be quite different with J-Bap and Dedmon Walking, 40% of our starting lineup and entire starting front court out. The Miserable Ones know this ?

He is a good prospect but you are acting like he’s just lighting it up! Be 100% he’s doing well but I’m not that impressed 

[DBac]

I liked the idea of Vince a lot more when I assumed he would be coming off the bench for the most part. Hate that him and Plumlee have been put into big minute spots because of these injuries.

It’s also ok for you to admit that you were 100% wrong about 76ers not making the playoffs, not getting out of the first round, etc. When you can do that, admit that you’re batting about the same % as everyone else on predictions, so forth, then.....never mind, no one’s holding there breath.

[lethalweapon3]

Next team that looks like they're gonna need some "help" with their home opener... the Cavs.
