Chief wants the best for James, who I have known since his prep days. The issue is not with him but the well meaning Casual Fan such as @Waquoit who try to make James about “cool plays” or channel to off court stuff - when he needs to work on being a dog (as Ryan Boatright would say), making winning plays and conditioning/game prep.
Your initial comment had nothing to do with that and was instead geared towards belitting an impressive play Bouk made by downplaying it happening while his team was losing.
It was the comment in the post I was replying to - I don’t know how much more related it can be. It had everything to do with it.
Nope. Martin and McDaniels.
Funny, I said that last year too. Then he killed it.
That's pretty great considering they lost by 68.
Bouk had a few nice drives in the second half. He looked ok, but the Hornets were a mess due to all the missing players. I'm not worried about Bouk at all. One the starters and Oubre return, he will look fine playing alongside them.
From my vantage point I saw the coach imploring him to take the ball to the basket each time he checked in. I’m not sure Bouk is super comfortable with contact right now though he got hurt twice again this game when he took heavy contact. Mavs have some big boys. Charlotte was without their 4 best players much of the game he should have had a better game. Mavs looked to be a much better coached team, even their routine coming out of the tunnel was very structured. Charlotte seemed to be playing much more freestyle.
Eh, it was tied for the worst on the team in the 4th most minutes.
Actually in some was the NBA is better suited for some guys games. Plus the defense is schemed to stop you in college. With 5 good players on the floor defense has to be honest.
