We’re not Italy Ive been through numerous things. I won’t disclose what I do. I’ve seen a lot. I’ve gathered research before coming to an opinion. There’s not enough here to warrant some of this. And the this I’m referring to is from the citizens who have let media influence this like we’re in the middle of an apocalyptic plague. Its an zoonotic virus. We’ve seen them. They’re all different but the panic, the hoarding of supplies, the curfews, lockdowns, is ridiculous.

China notified the US government back in December. Look up Professor Jihad Bishara. No. All zoonotic viruses are not the same. H1n1pdm09 was somewhat close to the original H1n1 back in 1918 but had some differences. My problem isn’t that we should be cautious of the virus. We should always be cautious with viruses since we are always introduced with new ones we’re not immune to. We should also do daily things to keep the immune system strong. My problem is the hysteria that’s causing toilet paper shortages, the food shortages, curfews, lockdowns, economical oppression, and the media that influences this behavior.

Maybe you should start seeking out knowledge from those who disagree. Smartest man I ever befriended said to me once “If you only seek out knowledge from those who you agree with, you have learned nothing. You’re overindulging yourself with your own ****.” I know this virus is different. Not saying it should be taken lightly. I’m saying the fear I have seen is in fact being orchestrated. The way people are responding is a concern (hoarding toilet paper, assaulting Asian Americans, etc) We have seen zoonotic viruses before.

Your not the cream of the crop. I applaud what you do. There’s knowledge above you however. And no, I’m not referring to QAnon.

If you only knew

You call me ignorant...You know nothing about me, what I know, or what I do.

People have let the media scare them and slowly allowing governments take their rights.

Cool. Yeah. Good here. Just shaking my head at all the hysteria.

Why wouldn’t we be?

I know it originated in China. From what? It’s an animal strain that mutated correct?

Irving is moody and KD is a beta with an alpha game. Probably say if this is true, it’s the personalities. Maybe one of those things where he thought “can’t be that bad. They’re so talented.” Then once they get there he’s like “oh ****.”

Yeah I agree. I love traditional distributing PG’s and he’s so good at that. Also got to be happy that he’s starting and hasn’t had to miss games. That’s a big plus.

See that’s getting into Cliff’s head. Thename’s explanation seems to be the most logical reason. Plus Cliff is really systematic and plays the long term game.

You do know you can watch whole games of players right? You can watch them even without the ball in their hands, defense, moving without the ball, etc. There’s a lot more out there than highlight videos and Wikipedia and yeah watching a whole game does give you appreciation but we’re not talking about that and at the end of the day, if you know the game, you can get a pretty damn good idea. For instance, when I watch clips of him shooting a 3 compared to a 20 footer, there’s a difference. It’s almost an hesitant delay to it. Looking back at his Washington days, wasn’t much of a delay. There in lies some of my concerns. It’s nothing to stress too much right now. Maybe it’s the TOS. Maybe it’s mental. Maybe just not getting reps in. My point is you can watch a whole game and not know a damn thing on what to look for. Know a lot of folks who watch every game and don’t know jack. Sometimes it’s what are you observing.

Yes I can. You basically just echoed my statement of his limitations saying it’s due to role and deference to other players. I also have asked questions on here but if we are going to turn basketball into quantum physics then I’ll just bow out of this conversation. It’s really not that complex. I pay attention to more than clips.

I pay attention. It’s a sport I invested so much time in for so long growing up. When I say studied it, it’s no exaggeration....Daily like it was a job...On top of playing it religiously every day. I at one point was determined to go into the NBA. Other choices steered me away from that. Years ago I cut the cord on cable. I have never reupped. Don’t think I ever will. I’m a movie person and like to be out of the house with the fam as much as possible. I pay attention though and while I’m not going to say I am this great scout with some eye, I know game...I know the game and I do watch clips, not highlights, of certain players. I don’t just watch the dunks and shots, I watch a lot more than that. Fultz... dude has potential to be a creator. He’s somewhat already is but is limited either by role or himself or both. He’s a technically a rookie so I keep that in context as will.

Sure. Guys like Monta And Wade created offense. I just think at some point we need to actually see him do it consistently to label him that. I also think in today’s NBA attempting and making 3’s is of a bigger importance with that label.

So you think Cliff is not giving him the green light to shoot a lot from outside? Its not a problem I have because I don’t play for the Magic.

He’s limited for whatever reason. Until that outside game comes along consistently, I don’t view him as a true 2 way or a self creator of offense.

How’s that? JI sure.

Nah I think they go after defensive players that can do other things, hoping scoring will come around.

Right and you can always see if offensive player can improve defensively instead of getting defensive players to see if they can improve offensively.

Yeah but someone should tell them you don’t need them at every position

Might make y’all feel better, maybe not...This organization has no desire, no goals, to compete for a ship in the next 3-5 years.

Yeah but people gotta vent and this is the place to do it. It is what it is.
