Yeah, basically said his effort was bullshit and if an "energy player" wants minutes, they need to show energy. Said 1 rebound in 20 whatever minutes is unacceptable.
So Ochai decided to power up and show some energy tonight
Pending FA, shooting 19% from 3 this year (similar career numbers to Brown). Being bothered by a knee issue right now.
He's a dawg of a defender. Dawg.
I would do that for a bunch of different reasons....and I expect GSW to be a top 6-8 team, and the pick to be mid 20's.
But Payton is a better point of attack defender than Brown is and does a lot of the same kind of things offensively. Might not be that hard to get him going with a bigger...
It's weird that we've had such good success taking skilled players and giving them checking roles at international tournaments but we keep wanting to do the gritty grinder thing right up until we're calling hockey summits to figure out why we stopped winning. Then go back to a skill focus after...

weird how his actions after taking over twitter were to shred the department that was tasked with managing the CSAM problem on twitter, stop paying for the software...
A bit, yeah. EPM hates him defensively, and has him worse now (2nd percentile) than they did at the end of last year (3rd percentile). But even his BPM is only a bit better than last year but still in the bottom ~10% of the league. It's not a real concern yet, a lot of recent lottery picks...
Yes
Also yes.
Dick is a bad defender. But in the Raptors bad defence the metrics think he's so bad defensively that he barely belongs in the league and that's probably not true. He's one of the reasons the defence is bad though, so there's also that.
3 on 3 goals do similar. Players who get pond hockey minutes in overtime are going to see inflated scoring totals as well. Draisatl has 3 OT goals already this season, on pace for 11. The points count of course and winning a game is winning the game, but it doesn't tell us a lot about how...
At heart he's a bully though and not an actual tough guy. He'll bitch and moan, make threats, even do some dumb economic shit that gets quietly rolled back later (or has a million and one exemptions in it) because corporate america has invested too much in their Mexican supply chain, and he'll...

I'm not a huge Zeihan guy at all, but he's spot on with what he says starting at the 2 minute mark
There's a really grim irony to the entire idea.
Mexican cartels are so powerful because they spend a lot of the money they make selling drugs to willing American customers, using American mules and American criminal organizations for distro, on guns smuggled in the opposite direction which have...
