im drawing a blank. I remember there being a guy who looked like Lurch, I remember there being a guy who looked like White Jesus, and also Ha.

The guy who called Ha stick boy.

 

[julius]

I wonder if Chauncey sees his guy Tayshaun in Toumani

I can see it. He's a little old for his draft (Tayshaun was I think 22?), but was incredibly savvy as a rookie and arguably one of the more important players on the 04 Pistons team.

He (Toumani) may not have as high of a ceiling or long of a career of someone like Rupert or that other guy I'm completely spacing on, but he looks already like someone who's maturity will pay dividends sooner rather than later.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

One Camara is not Toumani.

One Toumani is not enough.

No such thing as one Toumani threes.

Good or bad, there will never be one Toumani dad jokes.

 

[illmatic99]

How does he drop to 52? Like i get he's 23. But come on.

 

[julius]

The guy who called Ha stick boy.

Wasn't that Sinnovich or something?

Good lord there's a lot of big tall stiffs this franchise bled through in the 2000's. and 90's. And 80's...

 

[blazerfan11]

Nedzad Sinanovic

 

[Mr. Robot]

camara is 23 yo and i thought hes 19 yo after the way some people talked about him

yes, hes a rookie, but with that age he should be more ready than other rookies (except those who are way more talented than him)

 

[illmatic99]

Lol scoot was like yo.... Im supposed to be the rook yall talk about

Three Bean Poles. Two Fights. One Good Laugh.

Think thats the most apt comp here. Im switching from Kuz to Tayshaun Prince. Similaar lefty chasedowns too.

 

[illmatic99]

He just doesnt miss open shots does he

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Anyone watch the ducks game today? One Toumani bad coaching decisions. Nobody got it on Camara, though.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Camara and Jabari need 20+mpg/defined roles.


Both have starter potential.

 

[Quatro44]

They needed that rebound

 

[illmatic99]

Wtf was that skylar

 

[B-Roy]

Mays has a little too much confidence...

 

[blazerfan11]

Mays is a little bit of a ball hog compared to last season.

 

[blazerfan11]

Mays has a little too much confidence...

It definitely reduces his value to the team.

 

[TYDame]

How does he drop to 52? Like i get he's 23. But come on.

Austin Reeves was undrafted. Just sayin.

 

[julius]

Much better loss than against the Suns.

 

[blazerfan11]

Camara is a better player than Thybulle and should he starting instead of him.

 

[illmatic99]

What will Dallas give us for Tisse? That starting 3 spot is looking like Toumani has a shot at it.

 

[James lamphear]

There was a lot of positive of that game offensive rebounds and steals and only 15 turnovers not a team that haven't played together very long. 23 assist and 14 in the second half. All the young guys had there good moments in the game. Of course the shining negative right is on the defense side.

 

[Blazinaway]

Camara is a better player than Thybulle and should he starting instead of him.

Thybulle looks like he wants to be in Dallas so far

 

[Blazinaway]

Nice effort, nice to see Toumani play so well and the team play hard

 

[riverman]

Great effort by the good guys tonight! Gave me some hope! Walker, Sharpe, Scoot and Camara really closed the gap with Mays at point. Hell of an effort! Get the next one!

 

[B-Roy]

You can probably plug Toumara into the starting lineup and not worry. Defense, rebounding, open shots. That's what you want right?

 

[TYDame]

Chauncey you got your SF don’t screw this up

 

[Pinwheel1]

Thybulle looks like he wants to be in Dallas so far

I doubt that. He played hard, he just shot the 3 ball poorly.

 

[illmatic99]

Scoot/Simons/Toumani/Grant/Ayton.

Brogdon/Shaedon/Thybulle/Bari/Williams.

Really solid 10 man rotation. Move at least 2 of Brogdon/Grant/Thybulle at the deadline for draft picks.
