    He's going to be super key for us in the play-in / playoffs (if we get there).

    Feel like because of olympics, he started off slow but he's picked it up after that. I want him to get some rest this summer so that way he can start off on the right foot instead of playing catch up all year.

    Yes his upper body needs it. Solid lower body. Probably FIBA threw a wrench in that last summer, but am a little disappointed to see seemingly no additional tone or bulk in his arms over the course of the season. At least a little. I think it can be done if one feels it's important .... during the season.

    Maybe he’s not built to ever look toned. Larry Bird was a dominant player and look like he just left the office. Zero muscle tone.

    Probably has some big ugly back wide barn bat tat or something hidden under his jersey. Or a giant HIM.

    I have so much respect for Larry. The dude literally looked like he belonged in a Rec League and just dominated on the hard wood.

    LOL. Where's what-his-face scrub that said AR is a fluke and is getting the contract cause he's white. Who was it?

    He doesn't have the legs to be great on offense if he's your POA defender.

    Did a really good job on Murray till got gassed but it's been a consistent issue the more burden you're going to put on him offense you can't expect him to AR stuff on offense.

    I thought he did really well for most of the game.

    To me this is what happened

    Tough shooting night, D'Angelo picked up his slack in that regards. He competed on D, against Murray, it's not an ideal late game matchup though. I'm expecting him, to find his jumper back at home.
