    If Siakam re-signed, I’d trade dude so fast. His entire game is shooting jumpers. It’s like watching Old Melo.

    I never liked his game. Skinny terrible defender that only shoots inefficient jump shots. He never drives to the rim on small defenders.

    I fell down from the couch when he missed a layup under the rim against Nikola Jovic.

    Dude has to go to gym. I'm pretty sure he can't lift even 130 lb at the bench press.

    Jabari is once again shooting it like he doesn't believe he'll get another shot anytime soon. Was forcing and rushing it a bit tonight. He'll bounce back, but I also feel like we abandon him too easily.

    Jabari has been playing well this season overall but this game he played like he did in his rookie year again.

    Nope. It was JG who was denied multiple times by jovic. And he’s supposed to be this explosive player

    Yeah Raptors would do that trade in a heartbeat and the Rockets would look like fools for doing it.

    Thankfully I doubt Stone is that bad of a GM to trade a 20 year old player for a fringe all-star vet that is about to get a stupid overpaid team crippling contract.

    Like the man is going to have bad games, if he was more consistent he'd be an all-star player. Inconsistency is the nature of a young player. Especially one that has no defined role on offense.

    He improved since his rookie season. He shoots better from 3pt line, cuts to the basket, rebounds well looks less stiff but he is painfully mid on offense. His shot creation is even worse than MPJ. So you need to get him the ball at exactly where he wants it.

    He plays well when he doesn't think he is Kevin Durant, let him defend and shoot, Jabari is not talented enough to create with the ball yet, I don't know if he will in the future but not right now.

    Jabari also was denied by Jovic under the rim in the first half. I'll post if I can find it.

    here you go. What does it say at the 5:14 mark of the 1st quarter. Here’s a hint. It isn’t Jabari smith jr.

    So a 15 foot jump shot is a layup? LMFAO

    the one who was denied under the rim in reality was actually JG
