    R1/3: Drake Maye QB UNC

    He’s going to be a stud if they take their time with him.. The ringer did a detailed breakdown of all the QB’s passing charts that is quite interesting. Pinpoint% being the % of times the throw was perfect for the receiver, allowing for YAC. The kid was in the worst position of all the QB’s, and...

    Joe Mazzulla officially named head coach

    Not sure how anyone can see that video and not like him a little bit. He’s wired differently but it’s kind of not a bad thing for an NBA coach. The guy is a dogged worker looking for an edge any way he can get it. That’s crazy but good crazy. I actually thought his lessons from ji-jutsu that he...

    Yet another Pats draft poll--Your preference, 5 weeks out

    This is way too low on Maye. He’s a very good athlete with a very good arm, and is a big, strong guy. His concerns are related to trying to do too much, scrambling too much, and making bad decisions under pressure. Which all sounds reasonable for an elite talent at a bad program with no o-line...

    3/9 - It was fun while it lasted - Cs @ Suns

    He has been bad the last 3 games. Shooting and defensive intensity/intelligence (yes boxing out is part of defense), turnovers. He’s admitted it himself. It’s ok to admit it as fans.

    3/9 - It was fun while it lasted - Cs @ Suns

    Yeah. His last game, Denver. I love Tatum. He’s a stud. But there are times he gets taken out of games. Refs, a long, rangy defender gets him out of the offense, sometimes he’s trying to go iso against another star too much. There are a lot of big games he’s been a 0. There have also been a lot...

    3/9 - It was fun while it lasted - Cs @ Suns

    Tatum himself just admitted he stunk tonight. Maybe it is minutes. If it is. Sit him for a while. These games mean nothing. Organization needs to play the long game. Regardless, Tatum is inconsistent - given the baseline I am talking about is the other MVP level players. It might not matter this...

    Brown doesn’t have this problem. I love Tatum. But his inconsistency is a real fault.

    3/9 - It was fun while it lasted - Cs @ Suns

    You are likely right, but he should be. I’m not mad at the missed shots or even the turnovers, but he has played at 3/4 speed like he doesn’t need to try. It’s the NBA. No one is good enough to coast in this league. And he doesn’t even need to carry the load on O. Just play hard. He’s a beast...

    3/9 - It was fun while it lasted - Cs @ Suns

    Tatum has been a legitimately bad player lately. If you’re going to throw the ball into the parking lot at least run back on D. He is close to a reality check benching.

    3/7 - Catch-22 in Mile High

    100% the finals matchup. Feel pretty good about it if Tatum shows up.

    3/7 - Catch-22 in Mile High

    Tatum hasn’t boxed Gordon out once all game. He’s been awful
