    And opp commentators start to inform their audience as "how talented Alp and Jalen are". 90% you see the stats for Alp (primer) and Jalen (sekonder). They rarely mention the stats for the other squad members if there is not a specific connection (FVV-Raptors/Jeff Green-Nuggets,...)

    I want to say it was smooth but that would be misleading. It was rugged as the outback and hit the spot like a Foster’s @WestendMassive

    Preaching to idiots - sad thing is Clutchfans used to be a safe place and (Twitter) had the idiots

    Now we get the same 3-5 flooding every thread with horrible takes and ignoring when folks present them with facts

    The average Center shooting percentage ALL TIME is 48.7 %. Alpy is 54.1% Jovkic has averaged 31 pts,15 rebounds and 9.3 assists in the 3 games vs. the Rockets BTW.

    I was talking to your collaborator, not to you :)
    You have made a far-eastern trip and your body and your mind was poisoned by the locals. You are in a recuperation period.You are immune from being grilled for a while.

    And Jabari, your proposed C shot 26% today.
    Historical percentage: 48.7
    Alp against to the current best basketball player: 54.1
    Jabari against to miserable Hawks: 26.7%

    Edit: Jabari is a former Istanbullite because of his father's BJK-Istanbul tenure. Hope him to be very successful. But he won't be at C.

    Pop is not a right coach for any team at the moment. I expect Pop the President of Basketball Operaations to sack Pop the coach as Pat Riley did in Miami.

    Pop is the synonim of "Decadence in basketball coaching".

    I didn't expect a win without Fred, Sengun, Tari and Cam. Without Fred, Sengun, and Tari our defense is bound to be softer. Cam's shooting would have helped as well. That's not permanent, so brighter days ahead.

    Dillon was terrible from the 3 tonight, but he's averaged over 41% from the 3 in the last 10 games, so I'm not worried about his shooting moving forward.

    Jalen did great with rebounds and assists, so that's a positive, but he's still losing the ball too much. He's had 13 turnovers the past 3 games.

    Jabari shot poorly tonight, and been in a slump the past 10 games, but has been shooting consistently well all year. I think he'll bounce back. The positive was 10 rebounds, 4 blocks, and 4 steals.

    You took this one game against a season shooting percentage ? Really? Now, for the season, Bari is 47.1 %

    In 3 games Jovic, averaged 31 pts., 15 rebounds and 9.3 assists vs. Alpy.

    Let's add unexpected scoring help from Jeenathan and rebounding help from Landale.

    47.1 is still lower than historical average. It means he is below than average NBA player.
    Scoring against Jokic is different than scoring against Jovic.

    Landale did well rebounding, and Holiday and Jeff Green shot well. Who's Jeenathan?

    Jeenathan is the new generational talent/franchise player/cornerstone/Jonathan Presbyter.
    He scored 8 points.
    If you don't know Jeenathan we can only say: "You know nothing Jon Snow".

    Better. I suggest you to think first, comment later on. Nothing in basketball is static. Pop was a great coach in the past, a useless coach recently. Calvin was a great player as Moses Malone but can't compete nowadays.

    If a person repeats and repeats what he said 50 years ago, he is likely a priest because holy book never changes and the guy recites same thing over and over.
    If you think Pop is a good coach now, you really need a professional help. Suggesting Jabari at 5 is also not different than saying Pop is a good coach. Anyway, you have already rested your case.
