LEAVE AD ASAP!
Let them see how fun it'll be when they've got Dimwiddie leading that team to 6 straight lotteries. |
How would this fan base fared if we had traded 25 year old Kobe? |
Very poorly!
Blasphemy!
I have no idea what Dallas was doing but hopefully we add Jokic also. |
How were the fans in 2007 during all those Kobe trade talks? |

He doesn't have the raw power that leads to rim-rattling dunks like Lebron or the flare of a Luka Doncic. In a game with more than 100 possessions, it's easy to overlook the otherwise unmemorable open jumper, lay-in, or offensive rebound. He's "just" someone with a unique combination of size, skill, mobility, and length who can be relentless doing the dirty work of covering the court or dominating the boards on both ends while also being able to score in a variety of ways, albeit mostly unspectacular.
That said, he definitely doesn't have that alpha mentality and also posted some anemic numbers yesterday. Hard to say if he's still feeling effects of the injury but when you're replacing a mega-alpha like Luka, the fan reaction from last night isn't surprising. Doesn't help that they lost the closest thing they have to an alpha (Kyrie) for this and probably next season.
On another note, I so miss Christie. What stood out to me was the times he was able to stifle Luka 1:1 and that block on Vando's lob attempt right after having his ankles broken by Austin. Amazing recovery ability. |
Max also had a couple of nice finishes (a side-stepping layup and another one against Bron), to go together with a buzzer-beating jumpshot. I miss him, too. |

He needs to go to a better enviroment. That team and it's fanbase is a cesspit right now. He deserves to better than to develop in that enviroment.
Stuff like that messes up development in a huge way. Those fans wont be over the trade ever. They'll boo until Dumont sells the team. |
