Let it be known that:
Fox and the Ox > Fatty and the Flatty

 

[PorchSurfin]

Remember when Fox shot near 90 percent from the line in the first 20 games or so?

Yeah sucks he only hit 85% last night. 12/14 psht

Oh I think he’s a SG who can flex up to SF for a bit. I don’t have him pegged as a 3/4.

Hmm. He was at the 4 last night a good chunk I think. I wasn't paying super close attention to who he was guarding though.

 

[ESP47]

Best win of the season right there. That would have been one hell of a game to go to.

Kyrie, for all his craziness, seems like a really good dude. He's not out there trying to embarrass or one up anyone. He just plays the game to win and is very complimentary of his opponents when they play well as well.

 

[midtowner]

Maybe if I could defy gravity like Kyrie, I’d have doubts about our orb as well.

But yeah - having goofy beliefs doesn’t make someone a bad dude. It’s a tough question to judge people by what they do with their fame/platform. But I can judge that documentary that he plugged (it is awful).

He measured 6’4.5” w/o shoes with a 6’9.75” wingspan and 8’5.5” standing reach. That’s solid size/length for SG and passable length for SF but I’d have to imagine he’d be quite undersized at PF.

I remembered a former poster wanted to trade him for Ben Simmons

A lot of people, not just here but on other forums, wanted a Fox - Simmons trade. I was one of them. Obviously happy it didn’t work out.

Most of the time he was wide open in the corner

yeh and a lot of those trade proposals were only if Monte had decided to build around Hali and trade Swipa.

It was so refreshing watching the Kings play hard nosed defense last night. I don’t know if there is anything more exhilarating in basketball than seeing your team seek and destroy the opposing offense.

It is also fun to see what great players do against great defense. I was rooting against Kyrie, but amazed by his shot making.

Relax.

Did I suggest it did?

I was responding to his graphic of season percentages falling near the mid to high 70’s. So basically around his career which made me remember his stretch shooting 90 percent to start the first eighth or quarter of the season. He might’ve just bricked a couple as well when I said that. I don’t remember. I’ll take more like last night. 85 percent would be a great percentage.

That shot over Domas who played absolutely perfect d on that possession almost made me smash my screen

I do love a good SCV. Especially when the violation comes with the ball in the hands of a player I find as distasteful as Kyrie Irving.

Yes I remember the Fox-Simmons talk like a fart cloud that would never dissipate.

Well, it's like the Kings who only really play a traditional 4 type when they run 2 PF's in Lyles and Metu. The Mavs just run shooters at 2-4 like the Kings depending on whether Luka and Kyrie are out there together. I was impressed with Green. He's really big for a 2/3 and depending on the team he's easily switchable 2-4.

 

[Woot!]

Kyrie Irving reacts to Luka Doncic bricking key shot vs. Kings despite Irving’s hot hand [linked]

“Either way, it was going to be a great shot, him shooting it or me shooting it,” Irving said. “No pressure in terms of ‘give me the ball’ in that situation if he feels confident enough to take the shot…If he would have passed it to me, it may be a different result, maybe not. But the what-ifs don’t matter.”
