I have grown to love the “yellow patch”

    it looks pretty good now. Beginning of season it made me so disgusted. Oh how things change. The guy is having an amazing year and he’s only 24. He’s a top 5 center in basically all categories except defensive rebounding. He is #3 in added value (VA), #3 in offensive rebounding, #3 in estimated win shares, #6 in PER and true shooting, #1 in minutes played, no games missed (knock on wood)..needs to improve defensive rebounding but that happens with him switching less because when he’s there, he is elite in rebounding. Always been a huge fan since the year he entered the league and told my friend one day he might be better if not as good as what Dwight was for us (even though I complain about his every now and then laziness but I also complain about everyone). He is definitely already better than what Dwight was for us because he knows his place and Dwight wasn’t his peak when he was with us. And he is only growing. Shooting 60% now from FT and tonight he showed his hook shot can be pretty darn good.

    I don't love the hair, but I sure love the player it's attached to.

    It isn’t just that reddit forum, the different articles (BR and hoopshype) i posted also. It’s pretty much across board

    I love the energy of this Swiss beast.



    Like Harden, he's making progress almost every year. Every night he runs tirelessly on the floor, protecting our paint area and ruthlessly wreaking havoc on the opponent's paint area.

    It doesn't bug me anymore either. He has earned that patch!

    It's not a yellow patch, it's a Rockets-mustard championship wormhole. Enter if you dare, and feast your eyes upon the Larry O'Brien trophy!

    I thought this thread was about the championship yellow patch on the back of the jerseys. You know, the ones the Jazz don’t have.

    By the way, I also found that Clint's confrontation ability was much better than before, and his body became stronger and stronger.


    In my impression, a year or two ago, when he was confronted with the other side's big men on the inside, he would moan laboriously in almost every round, like "A!!!!" The moans (dull as a cow)... I haven't seen much of that in the last two seasons, because he's really bigger, and he's not afraid to fight.

    [QUOTE =“don grahamleone,帖子:12157859,成员:3034”]哈哈等等,什么?

    耶〜兄弟〜
    克林特的情况在1617赛季尤为常见,几乎每场比赛。

    当他在内线面对对手的强壮大个子时,尤其是当他感到费力时,他会发出英文字母“A !!”。低沉的呻吟......

    哈哈哈哈,你可以浏览那个季节的一些视频

    Yes, he's much stronger and his cardio has increased significantly. He's grown into his body.
