Cyclones in the pros (hoops) 2020-2021

It’ll be a deal where Tyrese gets screwed because of Lamelo’s last name.

But Tyrese can ball too...

Tyrese named his new dog "Ames".

Here are Monte's highlights from last night's win over the Suns (his first bucket was a drive vs. Nader):

Could have easily had a couple more and1s.

He deserves a starting job somewhere.

Monte plays again tonight vs Nader. Should get more time tonight in a back to back game.

 

[I-stateTheTruth]

He deserves a starting job somewhere.

This year, he's really showing me that he could but I know he likes the Denver organization. I checked and Gary Harris' contract expires after the 2021-22 season and they pay him north of $20M. Maybe they won't be willing to pay him and that will be Monte's opening.

I think Booker is out tonight.

On another note, Monte seems to have good games against CP3.

The Monte vs. Nader match-up lived up to the hype (the hype that took place in my head, anyway), with the Nuggets coming back for an OT victory. A lot of great players on the court and both our guys had good outings.

Monte led all (ex ISU) scorers for the night. His line: 32 MIN, 17 PT, 6-10 FG, 1-3 3PT, 3 REB, 3 AST, 1 STL, 1 TO and +17.

Nader made his best contribution of the season last night and seems to be viewed as a rotation player again. He guarded Monte a number of times and took him into the lane on a drive early on (only to miss the jumper). His first bucket was a dunk in transition and had a great drive and finish with his left hand. Van Gundy praised his aggressiveness.

If isolated on Monte, Nader tries to drive on him.

Abdel's line: 19 MIN (tied for top off the bench), 9 PT, 4-7 FG, 1-2 3PT, 3 REB, 1 STL and 1 TO.



Weird stats that might only interest me: The Nuggets took 103 shots in this OT game. Chris Paul had 14 first-half assists ....and ended up with 15. M. Bridges started 6-6 from 3 in the game. Jeez.

Javean Carter (WVU) has had a much better pro career than I thought.

THT looks great tonight

Really good defender.

Am I the only person that’s not sold on Devon Booker yet?

Clarify please? How are you not sold?

Last 2 years averaging around 27 a game to go with 6.5 assists and a little over 4 boards a game.

The suns have not been good since he’s been there, either.

3rd best SG in the league imo.

Just don’t think he’s capable of taking the Suns any higher than the 7 or 8 seed. I’m sold on his scoring that’s not in doubt but he’s just younger Klay Thompson imo. Won’t be able to take the next level without another player of equal caliber with him.

What is your Top 5?

 

[Cycl0nepower]

What is your Top 5?

Harden
Beal
Booker
Mitchell
McCollum
I don’t count Paul George as an sg FYI. I know he’s playing sg for clippers, but I think he’s more of a three and it’s just situational.

You calling Steph a PG?

 

[Cycl0nepower]

You calling Steph a PG?

Yes and although I can’t stand him, I think he or Dame is best pg in league.

Suns and Nugs about to go to 2OT

Not many people can take a bad team much higher than that sans Lebron James. I think you are overestimating what others who win have around them. Every superstar needs someone else of similar caliber to take a team far in the playoffs. Durant and Westbrook couldn’t win a title together for goodness sakes. The suns are getting better, booker is only 24 for reference, and got Paul as a bridge while Ayton gets there.
