They got a lot faster and a little more PNR/Pick and Pop heavy during his second big run with Deron and Boozer iirc, but it was still a ton of flex, which is how Ronnie Brewer had a TS% in the 60s as a shooting guard who couldn't dribble or shoot.

drat, it's been a decade since I remembered Ronnie Brewer even existed

Jimmy undefeated vs the top teams.

If they somehow make the finals again the Jimmy hagiography will be insane

It seems like they should have communicated this better but also if he's hurt he shouldn't play. It looks worse because they lost yesterday but realistically they can still beat the grizzles without him if they shoot at their normal level. They're completely hosed in later rounds if he hurts himself worse.
Still find it pretty weird that he wasn't even on the injury report if they already knew they still had to evaluate him later in the day

I was thinking of getting an issue 1 pair, probs the venoms, but then just never did and issue 2 came out. Was tossing up between a couple, but the pair I chose was heavily discounted so went with them.

My white/black/blue issue 1s are my everyday sneakers, they fit my feet real well.

On the bright side now if they lose the series we can always pull the, they would've won if they were healthy :unsmith:

I'm glad the Jazz seem to be able to play good defense again, the regular season had me worried

what the hell is wrong with you? Every time I see a player come up hobbling after an injury, if a teammate passes them the ball they move completely normally even if they were jumping on one leg the moment before. Playing through pain doesn’t mean they were pretending the rest of the time

His rookie season he also played through a foot injury in the playoffs and then missed a bunch of the offseason workouts bc he hosed it up iirc.

Conley is their only player who can consistently make the entry passes and lobs to get him the ball in position, and teams have found that guarding that pass can be done without having someone credible on Gobert. When Conley plays it can’t, and that’s a part of why they’re so good when healthy

I mean the play is there, I have no idea why Donovan and Joe make it regularly in the regular season, but they just put on their "Rudy is invisible glasses on" in the playoffs

Didn't look at the stats but felt like they ran way fewer pnrs last night than normal, though I guess Dono's foot is exploding so that must factor into it as well

They've been running less of it all series, if they weren't shooting insanely well the offense would be a disaster

I just ifgured last night would really be the night to do it without Kawhi on switches and Dono even more hobbled than before, but :rip:

is there a fake Andy Larsen out there? seems like there would be a very niche target audience for that

I have no idea, but trying to figure it out I did see a tweet of his I missed earlier where apparently Stockton is in 30 min of that documentary lol. Gd I thought I could feel not terrible about owning a Stockton jersey instead of Malone.
