Can anyone explain if Jabari was right here?

    If you think Jabari is the worst post defender in the clip? Then its nothing else to discuss.

    You ALWAYS push towards the baseline. The baseline is your helper. If Alpi would have came over, there is no way for AD to go.

    Do you think he knows the meaning of "Yetti"?

    Partially true because AD was pushing Jabari like he wasn't there at all! For the trap to work both sides should be able to stand their grounds. Jabari wasn't...and Sengun was late for a split second, which might be because of Jabari's non-existing defense.

    Don't worry, Stone gonna take action soon... Miles Turner would be nice as a franchise big now.

    100-85, losing with less than 5 minutes and in the 4th Quarter. Sengun's backpack is too heavy for Jabari (who has been babied and still being a baby). Jabari needs to grow some and be a man instead of men dominating him.

    Man how is this even a thread? Team members shout at each other, business as usual, no need to create bizarre paranoid narratives to keep propping up Alpi, he can stand on his own (and does) and be infinitely credible (he is) without any weird fangirling.

    I guess I must be having bad eyesight because Jabari was jumping back when he got the body contact from AD.....

    Jabari deserves to yell at #28 because he is the boss after Jalen and Amen. Even it's an offensive act, better players can undermine the inferior ones.

    When you first informed us, we had respect and became mute but he is so hateful for a 85 years old. ( should be 86 now if he was 85 last year) .

    Sow the wind reap the whirlwind.

    Much ado about nothing. It was a bad TEAM defensive possession. The fact that they are passionate and communicating is a positive and both can handle some tough words from each other if it means getting better.

    So a 20 year old can't gain muscle mass without affecting their quickness? Tell that to JJ Watt.

    folks acting like AD was always this big. reminder this is AD at 20. AD is now 30 years old.

    Pretty sure 10 years from now Bari isn't going to look like what he is now. Must be a wild guess

    This is Lamarcus Aldridge at 20

    but but but why is Bari not strong and big enough yet. Oh i wonder :rolleyes:

    The shock of a 20 year old who should be a sophomore in college, not being able to man up 30 year old bigs in the NBA is just amazing. Some of you really need to watch college basketball and get a clue

    I guess different people just develop at different speeds. Some people, like Cam Whitmore, look like a tank at age 18, whereas most will need some years of training and proper nutrition to really fill out their frame.

    We've seen that before. I'd also hazard a guess that unless you're heavyset growing up it's a lot harder to put muscle on a lankier frame. Chet and Wemby obviously being extreme examples of that, and Mobley to a lesser degree.

    Jabri's dad was 6'11 250 when he was in the league.

    Bari is going to be just fine putting on whatever the desired weight and strength is as the years go by, naturally maturing + offseason
