    I like to check in on Nick Young from time to time, but unfortunately I can only get updates on TMZ.

    Harris is hitting 50% from 3 on the year?

    How is this even possible in the NBA? Very impressive!

    :eek:

    Are players competing against the Nets? I know they're winning games but I mean its not like teams are preparing for the Nets.

    Or it could just be that I really hate D.LO. I just never saw anything great with him, a true tweener, doesn't excel at either position (Regardless of #s). Plenty of players put up # on s*** teams (Ellis, Al Jef, Kevin Martin, etc, etc).

    Its still an NBA game but you have to agree aint nobody preparing against the Nets like they do with GS or lakers/Knicks (any big market team with a lot of national games)

    Edit: I just feel like their whole season is a fluke. One big joke that didn't land yet.

    Nah; teams have only 100 energy units for the season, so they save them up for when they play the Lakers.

    But in all seriousness, their schedule before the break was pretty soft; they have a harder finish, but they will still likely finish with one of the ten weakest schedules in the NBA this year. Lakers currently at 13th hardest, btw. Phoenix has the hardest.

    He has arrived in the NBA.

    His pace of development has accelerated too. Can't ask for more.

    Here are my fake stats on Russ:
    Rookie: 5.7 scoring, 3.1 passing, 2.4 hustle, 67 positional rating
    Year 2: 6.1 scoring, 3.6 passing, 2.4 hustle, 81 positional
    Year 3: 6.2 scoring, 3.9 passing, 2.3 hustle, 88 positional
    Year 4: 6.5 scoring, 4.1 passing, 2.3 hustle, 95 positional

    Russ is tied with Kyrie and McCollum with 11 30-point games this season, in 15th place.

    Well, there are aren't many PGs taller than 6'5" in the league, so DAR sure doesn't have "lack of lengf" as a weakness.

    Dime a dozen? Let's check it.

    Dozen? Weird. There are only 13 players averaging 20/6, and at least three of them aren't guards. So, there aren't even a dozen who do what Russ is doing. Plus he's the second youngest guy on the list.

    Dime? Harden, Lillard, Kyrie, Conley, Jrue, Russ, DD, DAR, Booker, Wall - those guys are averaging about $25M a season.

    I love the argument thing, but you need true premises for a successful argument.

    He’s a PG, you know? Probably not, as you don’t watch or follow. Byron mischaracterized him.

    Why are Giannis and Bron unique players...cause they built different.

    Magic & Ben Simmons are unique tall guards...Dlo... please.

    He's balling for months in an Eastern conference that just recently got strong.

    Butler's situation put him on the bubble in terms of All-star. DLo got in as a result to injury and that element.

    Meanwhile SpidaMitchell and Gobert were snubbed in a loaded West.

    Y'all can keep big upping dude...but to say Magic/Rob f***ed up on a small sample size is reachin..
