NBA TRADE TALK: TDL over

[Jommybone]

As you’ll recall, Mr. Voulgaris was not retained as part of Mark Cuban’s brain trust (I was also LYING).

Did you watch the recent game against Phoenix? Brunson really struggled against their lengthy defenders. I think the Batum-lockdown in the playoffs was more the pattern than an anomaly. How about we watch tonight when Thybulle spends time on Brunson and come back here for healthy discussion? Deal? Deal.

I like that Brunson shot 62% from the field (8/13) and 50% from deep (1/2) with 5 rebounds in the game he “really struggled” in. 

I do get your point. Dude had 6 TOs and only 1 assist. That counts as a struggle. But his 19 points on 13 shots doesn’t suck. When THJ struggles, by contrast, it’s something more like

2/12 (1/4) for 8 points (Nov. 21 @ Clippers)
4/10 (1/6) for 9 (Dec. 8 @ Grizzlies)
2/8 (1/4) for 6 (Jan. 3 vs. Nuggets)

Will be watching for Thybulle matchup tonight. Like your willingness to call your shot.
