    'What' doesn't tap the brakes or even look before changing lanes.

    I'd be really surprised if Porzingis becomes a top 50 player.

    Porzingis looks pretty unfomfortable right now. He avoids too much contact under the rim, which means he doesn't roll hard after p&r and wants to play pick and pop exclusively. Also doesn't set hard screens; he slips the screen too soon.

    Right now he basically looks like a spot-up shooter from 3 on offense and a good help defender on defense with very low rebounding average for a 7'3'' player. Definitely not what Mavs were hoping for when they traded for him. It's been only 9 games after a year and a half of rehabbing, but early struggles could be an indication for how this season will go for him.

    Porzingis seems like a completely different player now. In New York, he was coming off screens, going after missed shots and putback dunking on everyone. He was oozing with confidence and had that All-Star aura around him. Now, he just seems to be content with being a 7'3 Steve Novak.

    It's crazy a 7'3 player has no post game.

    James Harden is significantly better than Doncic, you ungrateful ass clowns.

    Well you also don’t believe in vaccinations so your judgment isn’t very good.

    If Harden goes 14/36, he is dropping 50+ points while flirting with a triple double.

    I dont get why this is controversial. James is 10 years older than Luka right now. When both of their careers are over James still could end up being a better player, but its pretty clear that Luka is going to be a top 10 if not top 5 talent in the NBA very soon and will stay there for a long time barring injury. He is similar to Harden in that he doesnt have a ton of athleticism to rely on so his game should still be fairly consistent as he declines from his peak.

    I mean the Rockets have a very small 2-3 window to win a ring with Harden being the primarily superstar while the Mavs have probably the next decade plus to look forward to.

    (granted Luka doesnt have any crazy injuries etc.)
