Ace dropped 30 three separate times as a rookie. He hasn’t even hit 20 yet this season, and I’m more impressed with what I’m watching right now. This is my favorite kind of thing to dive into. A team without a ton of media attention trying to build something, and a player who took an onslaught of criticism and is starting to show real progress in the things that are coachable. That’s what stood out to me in these two losses. Not some huge scoring night, just more and more possessions where Ace looks like he understands how he can impact winning and when the simple play is the right one offensively. You gotta love basketball to dig this hard for the silver linings of two losses for a team that was well below .500 last season, but I said “I do” to basketball a couple decades ago 😂 #utahjazz #NBA

Send last years champ home with 40+ in a close out and have a 50 piece game 7. They’d talk after that
Jaylen Brown reportedly asked the Celtics to treat him and Jayson Tatum equally, per ESPN. Tatum responds with 40 points and an OT game-winner. 😭 Meanwhile, Paul George is averaging MORE points than Brown on FEWER shots through their first four games. No beef, just lamb chops. 💀

watching some Kings tape vs the Spurs. Not that the Spurs are an easy matchup for anyone, but Sac has to be the worst squad in the league.

He's brand friendly He's media trained He's corny and humbly... He's one of the best players in the world
Jayson Tatum over the last three games: 40 PTS - 8 AST - 5 REB 23 PTS - 7 REB - 6 AST 36 PTS - 9 REB - 7 AST The Anomaly.

Always loved coops ability to finish with the off hand in traffic
WHAT A SEQUENCE DOWN THE STRETCH. Cooper Flagg finished with 29 PTS, 6 REB, 11 AST, 5 STL (career-high), and 2 BLK to lead the Mavs to victory!

the fact people think Shai just pushes off and doesn't have a bag is crazy to me. Probably the deepest bag in the league
Put him on Dancing with the Stars ASAP 🕺

Lamb chops and gravy will never die. I’m sure of it.
Drew Carter to Brian Scalabrine after Tatum's buzzer beater: "Man, 19/6/6 that guy has a great PR team" 😭😭😭

The shooting is still the question. Everything else is getting impossible to question. I get it… they aren’t Klay from beyond the arc. But they do a hell of a lot everywhere else. Amen and Ausar are already making those offseason contracts look justified. Their teams are 5-0 through the twins’ first five games, and both are making game-altering plays defensively while creating plenty with the ball too. #rockets #pistons #nba #basketballanalysis

lmao... the shit people expect out of this guy.
Jayson Tatum clearly didn't advocate for Jaylen Brown to remain with #Celtics. Could have & didn't. If he wanted to go full diva NBA superstar coulda told Brad, 'he goes I go.' Didn't happen. Jaylen called him on it. People gonna feel how they feel about it, but it is what it is.

Curious if JB would have “went full diva” 💃 for JT

I'm clearly a JT fan, but I can't understand how JB's pettiness has become something admirable. It's not "anti-establishment." It's not "player first." The spin cycle tour he went on was something else, and the majority took the bait hook, line and sinker. That's the narrative JB created to avoid the hard truth: he's just not as good as JT, especially for the Celtics. Not saying there's NO truth to JB's side of things, but I think there's a lot less than people want to believe. At the end of the day, it's basketball.

The 2nd unit can actually build a lead now instead of just surviving until SGA comes back. Mitchell and McCain bring instant offense and Mara is already impacting games with his height around the rim. SGA rests while J-Dub leads the offense, then J-Dub rests while SGA is fresh off the bench. Most importantly, they each get time to catch their breath and have the legs to finish the game. The Thunder look poised to compete at the very top again if they can stay healthy. #okcthunder #shai #sga #jalenwilliams #nba

I’ve got this one countless times, too @SpartanHoops_DK -I have an opinion on this part of the game I researched and want to share on a platform for opinions “You think Izzo needs YOU?!” the painfully obvious answer: Lol no. Izzo doesn’t. … but if anything changes he can hit my line 😂
I'm sure Coach Izzo would love to hear from you.
