A Blazer opponent lighting it up from the 3-pt line? The hell you say... . Good thing 3-pt defense is a focus of Coach Stotts.

We give up the 8th lowest percentage in the league. Doesn't fit the narrative, I know.

that's absolutely not true...or doesn't last season count?

you and a couple of other posters keep saying we can't judge Ant because of sporadic playing time this year. But he got consistent playing time last season. 21 minutes a game over 70 games. Was it ok to start forming a judgement from that? And seeing how he has played this year...isn't it fair to add that to the judgement made last season, even with keeping in mind the playing time issue? But also that it's his 3rd season?

game threads are a mess of emotion and hot takes...you know that so I don't know why you get upset about it.

is there a single person here who was been anything but underwhelmed by Simons last year?

He has been. Today is the one exception so far. Hopefully it continues.

 

[Darkwebs]

DJ with the rejection of the year!

 

[Labinot41]

Okay we go small

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Get that WEAK shit outta here LMA

Yeah but I think two or three of us said you have to keep playing him until he snaps out of it. Benching him doesn’t solve the problem

What happened to RoCos shot???

The one on LeBron is still better because....it was on LeBron.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Now I know why Philly fans use to boo Roco when he played for them lol

 

[illmatic99]

Hey Terry, what was your Adjustment in halftime for Aldridge?

we don't need to do shit to adjust. he's making somewhat contested 20 foot jumpshots. let him have as many as he wants.

more important to control guys like Patty and Murray

 

[AldoTrapani]

What happened to RoCos shot???

Hes like this. There’s an article about Philly fans booing him when he played there

 

[wizenheimer]

is there a single person here who was been anything but underwhelmed by Simons last year?

then why do you keep saying we don't have enough to judge Simons by?

 

[illmatic99]

What happened to RoCos shot???

needs to keep shooting it. teams are barely within 10 feet of him as is.

 

[TBpup]

Of course that is true. But it can at least be questioned when he is playing in front of players that have been playing much better.

Anybody know the dork in glasses?

 

[illmatic99]

then why do you keep saying we don't have enough to judge Simons by?

you are ready to write off a 21 yr old who didn't go to college and is playing a new position for a playoff team, go right ahead.

 

[Labinot41]

How does RoCo has the 3nD label in the NBA?

Because he’s better than them he just needs (still needs this might be one good game for a while)

 

[B-Roy]

That is a dangerous play.

Obligatory "Philly fans booed Santa Claus" post

A fantastic agent?

 

[TBpup]

That breakaway by Jones is the difference between him and someone like Drexler. DJJ is so slight, he is easily knocked off stride or detoured. Drexler would have made someone trying that nonsense a poster. Both could fly, but Clyde was so strong.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Aldridge is definitely Aldridging today

 

[TBpup]

Aldridge is definitely Aldridging today

20 points off of silky smooth 20' jumpers....and 1 measley rebound.

 

[B-Roy]

We should use DJJ as the roll man...

 

[Titan]

Our bench is crap so far.
