Today will either hurt Ball big time or explode him into sainthood in the eyes of the media.

 

[aiw]

1. Zagoria is being sarcastic

Or

2. He knows something

I'm going with #1

Ball's numbers are kind of ridiculous. Agree that his shooting will either come down to earth today or he will be God. His passing should be legit no matter what defense he's up against. Otherwise he's just trash.

70% 2pt / 47% 3pt / 71% ft / 71% TS
38% assist / 18% turnover
4.8 assist/turnover ratio

I'll be shocked if he can continue his elite 3pt shooting. His shooting form is among the worst I've ever seen.

 

[bdotling]

He's really fun to watch. I hope he plays well today. It would have been fun to see all three brothers play together

I'd like to join SMTTEM in the +50 group.

 

[rome8180]

Noted.

 

[krsmith16]

Thank you, sir.

But if Tatum doesn't play I'd like to change to 1-10.
If Giles play but not the other two, I'll go with 11-20.
If Bolden and GIles play but not Tatum, it's 21-30
Giles and Tatum but not Bolden, 31-40

I hope I'm not asking too much.

If none play and Jeter gets 30+ minutes I'm changing to Main By Anything

 

[rome8180]

I'll put you down for whatever the final margin is.

 

[krsmith16]

Yes!

That's kind of what I was hoping for.

 

[ZackM]

I'll put you down for whatever the final margin is.

I think that's fair.

his shooting was meh, but lots of assists & rebounds and they won so I think this moves toward God status

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Gotta hand it to K - he knows how to play this Game. They're going to murder Maine today, and most people don't know just how bad Maine really is, so the mainstream media and fans are going to see a huge blowout and think Tatum/Bolden were a huge reason for it. What was apparently going to be a drain on Duke's SOS is now going to be fuel for an overall 1 seed case.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Another injury, though.

 

[deepdarkblue]

It's looking like Grayson and Jackson possibly won't be playing at all. We're back on track for Pop rotations.
