THis before Deuce broke his glass ceiling and the ball started falling thru the hoop.
Come on Nalod, get it right.Marcus Smart is a 0;poor mans; version of DEUCE.
Deuce and JB as a back court is killing the game.
Ive heard some say, if this works, d.mitch and JB would be even better. Pump the breaks.
What DEUCE brings on defense, can;t be touched by d.mitch.
What DEUCE does as a ball spacer is different from d.Mitch who performs better on the ball.
Right now JB and Deuce are a great pair and hard to say which player is better when paired with JB. I7;m just enjoying what we have and how we look fully healthy. Maybe we already have a championship team and these guys just need to improve as a team.
Enjoy the run! I don't know were any of this goes but its all good. Your on a ;Deuce High; and I for sure are not talking you down! Im not in the DM camp because I don't know what the cost is and its not going to be cheap! I would be DM, a mess of picks, perhaps Deuce, and another 20 or so million in salary.
Im totally fine running this roster back another year and pray for health.
May all our Deuce dreams come true!!!
I'll say it again: If Deuce can play at 80% of the level he's shown lately, he's the perfect 3rd head of the three-headed dog that is JB/DDV/Deuce Cerberus. I roll with that, and I don't think I do spend assets on DM.
This post of mine hasn't aged well.
Did I jinx it?
Deuce did everything well on that last play. Perhaps his height not matching SGA was a contributing factor but he did not found him and played him tight.
"maybe we have a championship team"......Maybe. In the age of parity playoffs will have anomalies and make it more interesting.
Ehh, IMO it was one of his worst moments of the game. Did not disrupt his rhythm at all. That said, it takes a team effort to make it tough on a last second shot like that, like OKC did for Brunson by forcing a bad inbound pass.
Knicks had but 1.8 seconds. They were rushed for sure.
Knicks did not shoot well, but lets be real, the hot streaks are not the baseline and Thunder are a very very good team.
SAS won three in a row before losing a close game to Warriors.
Knicks are a very good team even shorthanded.
Nobody likes losing.
In an 82 game season there are stinkers, heartbreakers, bad foul shooting nights, and often the other team just flat out plays knicks. Same for every team as well.
That was an exciting game and both teams stunk at the line at times.
