@gehrenbergdfs @mango_deuce My bad. You didn’t bring it up but you joined in when it had already been brought up.

@elHeffy17 @mango_deuce You were the one who said he didn’t meet the threshold
Which player is going to be live to win DPOY or MVP and average under 25 minutes per game?
English
I’ve seen this come up on my timeline a few times
What award is it that people want to vote Bruce Brown to win?
Polymarket Sports@PolymarketSport
🚨FACT: Bruce Brown played in all 82 games this season but did not meet the requirements of the 65-game rule.
English
@gehrenbergdfs @HoneyCorn12 @mango_deuce I’m not comparing them, I’m giving you an example of a player that would not have met the threshold which has been my point from the beginning. Coaches and players are adjusting so that they can barely hit the threshold. If the goal was 58, they would make sure they’re at 58.
English
@elHeffy17 @HoneyCorn12 @mango_deuce That’s not really a fair comparison. Wemby himself said that he would have played less this year if not for the thresholds. Coaches and players are adjusting to play their best players more now than more because of the awards. He most likely would have played more.
English
@gehrenbergdfs @HoneyCorn12 @mango_deuce He’s not playing 17 mpg tho. He’s playing 24.4 mpg (which you screenshotted).
Caruso played 23.5 mpg in 22-23 and he made 1st team all-defense. Caruso would not have qualified for all-defense under the current rules
English
@elHeffy17 @HoneyCorn12 @mango_deuce It shouldn’t. IMO, if you’re only playing 17 minutes per game, you aren’t playing enough to be considered one of the most impactful defenders. It should be a disqualification.
English
English
@elHeffy17 @gehrenbergdfs @mango_deuce Nobody is going to miss out on an award they deserved cuz they didn’t play enough games with 20 mins😂 only applies for the major ones, and even 6moy ain’t something they are ever goin to give to a guy like that. You good enough for an award, ur playing 20+ mins consistently🤷♂️😂
English
@gehrenbergdfs @mango_deuce You brought it up first.
This threshold isn’t likely going to prevent an MVP but it could affect all-defense teams
English
@mango_deuce @gehrenbergdfs Playing 82 games isn’t “skating by”
No one is arguing that he should win anything. We’re using critical thinking and foresight so that it doesn’t become a problem when there’s someone that should win an award but cannot
English
@elHeffy17 @gehrenbergdfs Hopefully it does so people see you can’t just skate by on minimum minutes played and games played and expect to win SEASON long award
7.9 ppg btw
English
@gehrenbergdfs @mango_deuce Then why were you talking about thresholds for 6MOY that don’t exist?

@elHeffy17 @mango_deuce There is no threshold for 6th man of the year. Bruce Brown is only ineligible because he isn’t good enough.
English
@mango_deuce @gehrenbergdfs Bruce Brown averaged 24.4 mpg and didn’t meet the threshold. This absolutely could come into play down the line
English
@gehrenbergdfs Some people seem to be very mad about your tweet so I went and looked. 6MOY winners MP:
Pritchard 28.4
Reid 24.2
Brogdon 26
Herro 32.6
Clarkson 26.7
Harrell 27.8
L Will 26.6
L Will 32.8
Gordon 31
Crawford 26.9
L Will 25.2
Yeah I don’t think this threshold comes into play

@oriqinofthe0 @_karateChris y’all jus arguing shit nobody said
English
@elHeffy17 @_karateChris This is hilarious coming from somehow who is a fan of LeBron. The guy who stat pads to the point it’s normal. Nigga will be up 20 & stay in until the last rebound and assist to get a triple double then ask to come out. And not even hide it. Now stats are skewed … mannn
English
@elHeffy17 @_karateChris ALL STATS are “flawed” DUMB ass. It’s called film, scouting, who your teammates are, contextually. Pace. Era. Stats are always flawed. When have you ever said that abt Bron’s stats? That’s my overall point. I guarantee you I know the answer.
English
@oriqinofthe0 @_karateChris You’re the one trying to nitpick stats for your narrative. I give you a thoughtful response to contextualize how defensive stats are flawed and you reply with, “shut up dude”
English
@elHeffy17 @_karateChris Shut up dude. I blame skip bayless & Shannon sharpe for you non basketball playing guys thinking y’all know sum abt basketball.
Everything is skewed the more th game progresses. More film. More scouting. More game planning.
English
@oriqinofthe0 @_karateChris How much is that skewed because he’s not technically defending shots at the rim? Whenever he’s close to the rim, they scram or swarm to protect him and if you’re holding players to 35% but most of the shots you defend are perimeter shots, guess what, that’s average
English
@elHeffy17 @_karateChris y’all jus arguing shit nobody said. Plus his advanced stats prove that he’s an above average defender. I think in the playoffs, when Steph is the primary defender, the offense shoots less than 35%. & Steph actually gets put in every action. Bc of his size.
English
@oriqinofthe0 @_karateChris Getting 1 more steal a game does not make up for the other 99 possessions where you’re at best an average defender
English
@_karateChris ironically Steph is 1/3 players in NBA history to lead the league in scoring & steals same yr. Bron isn’t one of the other 2
English
I was given this 2011 Topps card signed by Josh Elander to use for one of my giveaways. After this weekend it seems like now is a good time to give it away!
Comment "Sweep" to be entered in the drawing. Winner will be announced tomorrow afternoon.
Good Luck
God Bless
Go Vols
English
@JustPix44 @SelectiveViews @AnthonyIrwinLA Starters routinely play 35+ mpg. If the lakers sub in NSJ, I’ll be shocked if the other team doesn’t turn up the pressure on him with a high level perimeter defender
English
@elHeffy17 @SelectiveViews @AnthonyIrwinLA Bruh amen will be a starter, nsj won't, so amen probably won't be guarding him
English
I was right about Bufkin and I’ll be right about this. The perimeter defenders are going to eat NSJ alive. And when either the Rockets or Wolves are too physical for the Lakers, I’d better not hear people like this complaining about it.
Selective Views@SelectiveViews
The Lakers are down their top two ball handlers, this was always going to be the move. Irwin misguidedly convinced himself it was going to be Timme so now we have to listen to him whine for the next 3 days. I like Timme but his skill set wasn’t a need.
English
@itzStormShadow @TrevorLane But you’re saying that this was the plan all along. We both agree that getting the 3 seed just to get waxed would be stupid but you’re saying that the plan from the beginning was for Luka to “load manage” the playoffs. I’m genuinely curious how you came to that conclusion.
English
@elHeffy17 @TrevorLane Getting the 3 seed only to get folded back savage is a waste of time and a waste of money for the fans that pay 5k for tickets where dudes are going to load manage anyway. Your brain is truly a product of our amazing education system.
English
Makes sense to bring in another ball handler that can go on heaters. Without Luka and Reaves, the Lakers needed another player who can bring the ball up the floor
Shams Charania@ShamsCharania
The Los Angeles Lakers are signing two-way guard Nick Smith Jr. on a new two-year contract, Lucas Newton of Klutch Sports tells ESPN. With Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves sidelined, the Lakers add guard depth for the playoffs. Smith has averaged 6 points and 40% from 3 this season.
English
@thepres1dent @AnthonyIrwinLA Have you not watched Luke Kennard lately?
English
@AnthonyIrwinLA We literally have no lead guards at the moment besides Smart, so why wouldn’t they sign him?
English
Rob Pelinka has a serious addiction to scoring combo guards
English
@Jeaper6 @AnthonyIrwinLA In the future? Cool sign him in the offseason then
English
@AnthonyIrwinLA I’ve been needing this signing. He is very talented offensively can be a 10 ppg scorer of the bench for them in the future
English
@itzStormShadow @TrevorLane What? Why would this be the plan? Get the 3 seed and then just quit on the season?
I really want to analyze your brain
English
@TrevorLane It’s almost as if this was the playbook from the beginning. Win enough games to make it to the postseason then get hurt. Oh well. Let me guess. At some point LeBron will get hurt to??
English
@RevivedGamerHD @AnthonyIrwinLA Everyone who wanted Timme to be on the roster instead of another one-way guard
English
@AnthonyIrwinLA Who’s gonna be complaining when the general consensus is our season ended April 2nd
