I acknowledged he was bad offensively. You’re severely underrating his defense. He’s a great defender that can guard three positions and yes he is a lockdown guy on that side.


Well he is bad offensively then he is bad. Guys like tend to be bench players.

I'm sure they didn't draft him to be a poor man's Tony Allen.

Is your guy Patrick Beverley a bench player?

Was fun to see him mix it up with Durant last night.

Patrick is better than Ball both Offensively and Defensively.

He was a true lockdown defender before the leg injury and Ball is nowhere near as tough.

Didn't see the game last night but he will not back down from anyone. It's how he made the NBA.

Ben Simmons led his team on a 17 game winning streak (without Embiid) as a rookie. Trae Young as a rookie contributed to 27 wins total.

Just thought I'd provide a sampling of the rookie VORP scores of guys considered elite and some that weren't just so we can get a better handle on Olay Young before No Great Shakes and his merry band of sycophants takes this thing too far.

VORP Scores rookie year
Trae Young 0.6

Doncic 3.6

Chris Paul 5.7

Simmons 4.6

Irving 2.1

Westbrook 1.3

Curry. 2.2

Wall 1.2

Lillard 1.9

MCW 1.1

Rubio 1.0

Rose 1.1

Gilgeous Alexander 0.9

Doncic 3.6


Trae Young 0.6

Simmons tearing it up vs Toronto in the playoffs. Been over 10 points one time and over 5 assists one time as well.


Between him and Embiid bitching out are we supposed to still trust the process?

Let's see. Embiid and Simmons have made it to the 2nd round during both of their first two full seasons. Trae Young's team won 27 games during his first full season. Wonder which team has the brighter future?

Yet just last week you had them winning the series. Conveniently after they won 1 at that. Guess you had no problem with his coaching when you made that prediction.

Now you knew all along that he didn't have it. Good way to check all of the boxes coach.

It was not so much the Bucks winning that series as The Celtics losing it. I haven't heard that much clanging since they rung the bells at St Marys.

Kyrie Irving wasn't only the reason they lost. Boston has a bunch of guys that aren't as good as they think they are. Namely Guys like Terry Rozier, Marcus Smart, and Jaylin Brown. The worse thing that could have happened for the team was that they got to the Eastern Conf Finals last season. It led some guys to start smelling themselves.

Kyrie should have played better but the last two games got away once Steven's inserted Rozier and S0mart into the lineup.

Boston is a team that doesn't much like each other and I will give Kyrie the blame on that. He has to be a better leader and he wasn't. Some of the things that he stated in those press conferences were abominable and whining about the refs is terrible.

He was part of it but they got the doors blown off them the last two games. That's a team effort.

Good to see that the Brain still isn't leaking though.

Which Gnats Are Attracted to Light?
In general, the four gnat species listed above are not strongly attracted to light and express very different light-related behaviors. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:



See what I mean? When you have to think for yourself things tend to go haywire.

The one exception to this generality is fungus gnat behavior since both male and female fungus gnats are strongly attracted to light and this behavior is sometimes used to augment other methods of fungus gnat control. Indoors, fungus gnats often show up around windows, doors, TVs, and interior lighting. Outdoors it is common to find them flying around porch lights

Gnat Control
The attractiveness of these gnats to light can be useful for inspecting and monitoring to determine where gnats are breeding and developing. However, lights and light traps are not highly effective for control purposes and are rarely if ever be useful in eliminating a gnat problem. As one might expect, gnat habitat reduction and removal is almost always the best and most effective way to prevent and control gnat populations.
