You guys are drunk if you think he’s doing anything positive out there

You just need to embrace the bench beast that is The Landale and you'll be a happier man. #LandaleOwnsGlendale #JockJams #JockItchspecialsauce wrote: ↑Sun Feb 26, 2023 5:26 amYou guys are drunk if you think he’s doing anything positive out there

I think a lot of the time the negatives out weigh the positives, but you can’t say he’s not doing anything positive out there. He’s fairly skilled around the basket, he rebounds, he hustles. He just can’t play defense without fouling and he’s a poor shooter trying to be a stretch big.specialsauce wrote: ↑Sun Feb 26, 2023 5:26 amYou guys are drunk if you think he’s doing anything positive out there

Just sign any drunk fan out of the crowd. The adrenaline will help them hustle too.
He is God awful. He got blocked twice in a row against OKC in the most pitiful fashion. I have no idea why he plays over Biz and why we chose him over Frank the Tank.

You just gonna skip over his skill around the basket and his rebounding? Look, I get it, you don’t like him, but we don’t have to pretend like he can’t do anything. He’s shooting 75% at the rim. He’s a much better finisher and scorer than Biyombo. Ya Biyombo is a better defender, but he’s a 0 on offense.specialsauce wrote: ↑Sun Feb 26, 2023 10:43 amHe hustles?

Now I’d prefer we don’t play Landale when the games get real(playoffs), but that’s because I want to play KD at the 5. I think the Jock/Biz duo is fine for the regular season.

Meh, they won’t get minutes when the games really matter and we’re healthy. Also they weren’t the worst players today. I missed the 2nd half but they were fine in the first half. Their box scores seem fine.
Re: Game Day: Thunder (28-30) @ Suns (32-28), Fri 2/24/23
Ayton probably loves it. KD hard at work establishing the new Suns culture. Derrick Rose will feel right at home.
Free Agency
DeMar Derozan for the minimum!
PG: Jordan McLaughlin, Killian Hayes, Kris Dunn, Spencer Dinwiddie, Monte Morris
C: Mo Bamba, Andre Drummond, James Wiseman, Goga Bitadze, Jay Huff

It shouldn’t be a secret because it’s irrelevant. Devin Booker drinks tequila and it’s never been brought up as a potential culture issue.specialsauce wrote: ↑Wed Mar 01, 2023 8:09 amIt’s not a secret about DA or KDFlagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Tue Feb 28, 2023 11:15 pmBe careful not to hurt yourself stretching to that conclusion.

I’m almost positive the diuretic was to mask weed, which shows a pattern of dependence where it is interfering with work and also a really stupid decisionFlagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Wed Mar 01, 2023 1:40 pmIt shouldn’t be a secret because it’s irrelevant.

I’m not positive all conjecture on this one but I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the laissez-faire games are because of it.
It’s a substance abuse issue. If Booker showed up to the games drunk or had to be suspended for it, it’s an issue the same.
Re: Game Day: Thunder (28-30) @ Suns (32-28), Fri 2/24/23
I was thinking it was to mask an HGH. He seemed just as big in college.

I don't think you have quite enough evidence to convince a jury here or anything. The guy may smoke some ganja from time to time, but it's far from clear that this is the cause of his sometimes inconsistent play. Also, you're going at the guy after he had a pretty impressive February.specialsauce wrote: ↑Wed Mar 01, 2023 2:19 pmI’m almost positive the diuretic was to mask weed, which shows a pattern of dependence where it is interfering with work and also a really stupid decision

I’m not trying to convince a jury and I’m not one to make claims of knowing things on the inside commonly, but I can say I’m very confident in that first paragraphMori Chu wrote: ↑Wed Mar 01, 2023 10:45 pmI don't think you have quite enough evidence to convince a jury here or anything.

If KD can get Ayton to love hoop half as much as he does, Ayton can smoke all the weed in the world, I wouldn't care.
