If Poole is getting called for palming, shouldn’t Ja be called for the same thing here?
I know it’s old news, but goshdarnit Vlade really screwed up in 2018.
MJ would vouch for that, to this day he still denies getting crossed by AI because "he palmed."The answer to your question is right there in the post: "Ja Morant doing only things Ja Morant can do". Although it's really only partially true. Allen Iverson also had permission to palm like that on every drive.![]()
Orlando beat the Mavs 94-87 (final score!) without Paolo Banchero playing a minute? Bizarre.
Wonder what criteria the refs use to allow some players to carry the ball and others not…….besides being on the Kings therefore none of them can carry the ball.
This would be a good thread by itself. Who is the worst at carrying the ball?
Some of my picks are:
PG13
Gordon Hayward
Umm.....the fan base wouldn't tolerate that.Utah is 10-3. At this rate they are going to take themselves out of the Tank by the break. Can they, in good conscience, sell off all their players if they are a couple games over .500 at the all star break?
What's fascinating to me about the Jazz is that they don't have a bonafide star but... you know how you see a player putting up numbers on a bad team, and you go, "He'll never be the best player on a good team, but if he's the fifth-best player on your team, you might be a contender"? Well the Jazz have, like, seven of those guys.the most impressive aspect of Utah's hot early start is that they traded their best player, lost their head coach, traded their defensive player of the year winner and have 3 new players in the starting unit and yet here they are.

How are the Pelicans 6-6? They started slow last year too but I’m surprised they aren’t better
overall, it's been a strange start for teams you are expecting to be good and teams that are lottery bound. Things may change in a month or two but for now. the parity is nice to see.
