    Dude loves his mom so much it became one of the top NBA memes. Hope she's doing well and it's not any kind of terrible news regarding her.

    What is good news?

    Did KD become a Dad?

    The fact that it's a clear 2-game break and not some day to day issue unspecified time make it sound like birth or similarly scheduled break is more likely than a family emergency. Regardless it's not like you expect him to play 82 games anyways. So him taking a break is whatever. The team just need to be healthy going into the playoffs.

    Those guys have tons of extended family, it does not have to be the mom.....but prayers to all of them though.

    James for example, wanted to continue get big contracts for his mom and his kid, in retrospect.

    It was in response to JR's post that is no longer there...about the birth of a child.

    Their big 3 are Book, Dillon, Royce O'Neale. Those that are available. Dunn out.



    Out I guess.

    Oh no, I think you should watch some more film of Dunn. He can't shoot, but he will bulldoze you or jump right over you and he's incredibly strong. Would've been a bad matchup for Sheppard, good thing he was out and they started Goodwin.

    KD has a wife? Already with child? That would be awesome if he gets his first in Houston, establishing precious memories and a home.

    We don't really care how poorly they do this year as the Wizards have the swap rights. Next year is when they need to go full tank commando.

    Ideally with WAS winning the tank wars this season the Suns get to the trade deadline right on the cusp of the play in game and they decide it is better to tank out since they will likely keep their pick and if not get the #4 pick from WAS

    I understand what you are saying and I agree that Dunn is a lot stronger and bigger - but I think Sheppard would surprise you, he uses his hands and angles to get in on guys like Dunn. The most effective guys against Sheppard IMO are volume scorers that can play the percentages and frustrate him having to defend every trip down the court.

    Sheppard is a mixed bag defensively right now. He is not as bad as a lot of people on this board believe. He has size issues and he has some core strength issues, but when he focuses on moving his feet and cutting off angles, he is fine.

    I thought my 30 game park win streak in 2k21 was unreal and completely exhausting lol, I didn't know 100 was even possible.

    It must have been because people could see KD was in the game and lined up for it, because you can sit waiting for park games for 5-10 minutes in between each of em.
