It only works if you are literally incapable if the most basic part if the game.
Like, Giannis is a bad free throw shooter but hack a Giannis isn’t that prevalent because he still CAN make them.
If we’re talking about how basketball was “meant to be played”, players were meant to be capable of making free throws. That’s why they exist.
Basketball was also meant to not include dribbling if we get really pedantic.
Joe only cares about rules he can read

No Tatum minutes being positive is massive for us
CHEMISTRY
Hornets now the best team in the East
Bruh he had Payton Pritchard on him half the game. This is such lazy analysis.
Well it depends on which stint, he’s been here twice lol. Most recently we traded him to Indiana for Brogdon, where he hasn’t played due to injury/developing young guys.
Really wanted to bring him back a third time lol, we love him here and he seems to like Boston.
I feel like we get a lot of shit because Celtics but I always thought our guys were pretty good. Scal is a homer for sure, but Gorman is a legend who’s been doing this since the 1980s, and his away-game replacement Drew is killing it this year.
Like I wouldn’t say we’re near the top or anything just because it is definitely a homer broadcast, but its a pretty fun one imo.
I’m probably gonna get shit for this but I cannot stand the Raptor’s color guy lmao (Matty P???). I get what he’s going for but it is just not my vibe at all, trying way too hard.
I was hoping for it since Brown is so good off of drag screens/handoffs, but I was never expecting him to be this good passing. Porzingis being able to do basically anything (pop, roll, pass) and being a huge target makes it so easy for him.
Really hope he can use it as a stepping stone to become a better playmaker overall. Made some nice passes against the raptors that old JB probably turns over.
This is elite tanking
Why doesn’t Steph Curry post up? It seems like he takes way too many threes, he should change it up sometimes and go for a lower variance shot.
Without the sarcasm, Zion is better at attacking than shooting, so he attacks. You can argue that it would be good for him to develop a better shot, but right now he doesn’t have that.
Honestly, I’d be pretty pissed about all the “too many threes” talk at this point too. He said a couple things about analytics, and now every bum cries about how “Mazzulla ball” lives and dies by the three even in games where we shoot less threes than the opponent. Threes are a big part of his gameplan, but we take threes because our offense is good at generating open ones when teams load up on the Jays. Not because we seek out opportunities to chuck contested ones.
And if you listen to the Reddick podcast he did, he acknowledges that you can’t just rely on shooting variance in the playoffs. We’ve been posting up Tatum, Porzingis, and even Brown and Jrue very purposefully this season. Its an extremely overblown narrative parroted by people who have already made up their minds about him.
Fans don’t know jack shit about rotations lol.
People will be like “omg this bench rotation sucks put in XYZ” ignoring any consequences this would have on other lineups, minutes/stamina, plays the team practices, or how coaches should be experimenting in the regular season and 3 minutes is not a meaningful sample size.
If someone is criticizing a coach for “rotations and adjustments”, they should provide an actual, thought-out solution. Otherwise its just ignorant complaining.
Like, unless its some really weird starting lineup with 4 guards or something there’s usually a good reason for the decisions coaches make that you’re missing. There are so many more variables in play than just the 5 players on the court.
The Magic, our mortal enemies.
Or the Jaime Jacquez and Haywood Highsmith Miami Heat

Bro hates Darvin like Chick hates the Warriors
What are they gonna do, fire him? Huge respect to Chuck for using his platform/legacy to speak out about this stuff, its easy to forget after all his goofiness but the dude is always batting for the right side on these things.
Post Tatum is here.
Tatum’s natural game has always been more Kobe-y, and I think him trying to have a James Harden shot diet was really limiting him the past couple years, especially when the 3 wasn’t falling.
This year he’s found that middle ground between efficient shots and his own style, and its looked so much more decisive and controlled. Plus he added size and clearly worked on some post moves. Bro finally remembered he’s 6’8 and can just shoot over everyone.
