    And at this point, I'm tired of even hearing that he has "top 5 potential" He is very good. Not great.

    He'd done nothing worthy of them hiring him in the first place. They didnt even interview anyone else IIRC. Bad franchises gonna bad franchise

    Morrii trying to act like dude "waiting until" he turned his back is bullshit. Morris hit him and then immediately tried to walk away like he didnt do anything

    You would be correct. https://playersbio.com/nikola-jokics-brothers/ They were ready to come on the floor in the playoffs when Nikola got into it with Devin Booker. The Morrii will fight but I dont think they want it with them Serbian giants

    The larger issue IMO is why Jokic still in the game in a 20 point blowout with little time left?

    https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/32440987/phoenix-suns-robert-sarver-allegations-racism-misogyny Yeah this thing is wild. Sarver once used the N-word when trying to explain to a staffer why he preferred hiring Lindsey Hunter over Dan Majerle as head coach in 2013, according to a high-level executive who heard the remark. Hunter was a first-year Suns player development coordinator while Majerle was in his fifth year as a Suns associate head coach. "These [N-words] need a [N-word]," Sarver told the staffer of his largely Black team, according to the executive. When the Suns were recruiting free agent LaMarcus Aldridge in the summer of 2015, the team knew that Aldridge had young children in Texas and that playing near them was appealing. During the recruitment, Sarver remarked to two basketball operations staffers that the Suns needed to have local strippers impregnated by NBA players so those players would have children in the Phoenix area and feel obliged to be closer to them, giving the Suns a potential edge in free agency, the now-former staffers said.

    Matters not. No one can prove otherwise. Performance anxiety is absolutely a mental health issue though

    Yep, they seem determined to get him in front of the PHI fans. He is equally determined not to and now they have no way to force to play and no way to not pay him. Checkmate

    Its a huge difference in how much physicality is being allowed in contesting shots right now. I havent really looked at the scoring numbers but I havent noticed many lower scoring games.

    Additional context to the ball adjustment: League Averages .446 FG% (lowest since 2004) .342 3PT% (lowest since 1999) Some of this could also be attributed to the more physical defense that has been allowed so far this season as well though.

    His full quote really wasnt that bad honestly and he's right. Tatum/Brown at this point are just taller versions of Dame/CJ. Media outlets only giving bits of it make it sound worse.

    NBA players are notoriously finnicky when it comes to the basketball. Several years back, when the NBA tried to change to a synthetic ball, complaints were so loud that the league switched back to their original leather ball mid-season. Now, it's happening again. After years of Spalding providing the NBA with its game balls, the league switched to Wilson. Wilson said they have tried to replicate the ball as well as possible, but players aren't buying it. NBPA President C.J. McCollum of the Portland Trail Blazers said, "We're all still adjusting to (the new ball)." McCollum later added that he planned to discuss with players around the league to "get feedback" on the ball. Paul George of the LA Clippers was more direct in his criticism of the Wilson ball. George said he wouldn't use the ball as an excuse, but that "it's a different basketball. It doesn't have the same touch and softness that the Spalding ball had." Many around the league have suggested that the new Wilson ball has been a factor in shooting percentages dropping around the league to open the 2021-22 season. Several star players have gotten off to rough starts, but none have directly blamed the ball for their early-season shooting challenges.

    Meh, it was his very first game after sitting for an extended period to get back after an injury. Means absolutely nothing.
