luke (PP free plays)

The only way to stop him is to throw bodies. The guy is a star in the league and an elite scorer at that and has seen every double,stunt, zone, etc that could possibly be set to stop him. In order to mitigate the damages VJ and PG have, which lost the celtics the game, I was just saying that Vuc would be useful to cycle bigs, as again I would rather Embiid have 50 all 2s than get extremely good looks around the perimeter. Embiid has and will always get his, ofc if he comes across a guy like rudy it's a different story but any big for that matter will generate much better defensive possessions than doubling him and having to cycle around the perimeter to the open shot.

@ppemployeeluke @ElverGa33029176 @UnderdogNBA Vuc is not the answer to stop Embiid lol

Joel Embiid with words for Jaylen Brown.

@rosixers2023 @ElverGa33029176 @UnderdogNBA like i'm just saying, embiid is one of those guys that will get his either way, no point waisting energy and leaving an open man to double. He will make the right read and you'd rather have him back down vuc every play than get an open look 3 nearly every play

@rosixers2023 @ElverGa33029176 @UnderdogNBA exactly they don't have the personnel to match up either way, they have a better chance with a big on the court so celtics don't have to double

@ElverGa33029176 @UnderdogNBA vuc has not played a minute and is healthy

@ppemployeeluke @UnderdogNBA their bigs are in foul trouble

@UnderdogNBA Did we all magically forget that Joel Embiid was losing games by 10 with a +18? His team would go down like 15 in a 5 min span of him being out and everyone wanted to blame him. HES LIKE THAT

Jaylen Brown tried it Joel Embiid denied it

Going to be posting some film breakdown content and a little bit more before I leave the country in May. Will try and post some props while i'm there but we shall see. Trying to do a series feature where I break down some common looks/actions we are seeing in the playoff games so far.

@ShamsCharania the pure bench scorer might be a fading role in the NBA YESSSSSSS

The Milwaukee Bucks are waiving Cam Thomas just weeks after signing him, sources tell ESPN.

I feel like this picture summarizes tanking in the NBA😂

max will play the three when hes back, so there are 6 gaurds, we play heavy non dmitch rotational minutes early with a likely harden schroder or ellis pairing, and then the other fills when harden gets subbed in the late 1st/early second. We then have both non mitch and harden minutes, so yes, I would say all the gaurds are necessary, and even if they arent, one injury makes them. Look at any other team in the NBA and you will find numbers close to what we have. We rely more on gaurd play bc of our double center lineup, so we need more.

@Dagoat24k @ppemployeeluke @HoodiGarland so just ignore it, cause it’s the team wtf are you talking abt We can’t play 7 fucking guards. Which one that I named are you cutting out the rotation?? ^^ There’s your fuckin question

I appreciate James Harden for trying to fit into our system but I need him to play his game man

@iso_maestro @HoodiGarland cpj been giving us meaningful minutes all season I encourage you to watch his film he is 6'1 and plays like he is 6'8. But yes Merrill needs more consistency like the start of the season and tyson should be fine tbh

@HoodiGarland Bad gimmick he does at beginning of new teams. I need Sam Merrill and Jaylon Tyson to play better Jesus. I need to stop seeing Craig porter jr minutes

Chet ruled out, no alts for that play and almost all of this has bumped might drop some more lines tonight

NUKE POTD : Jazz +5.5 💰

Paul Pierce definitely gonna be one of the next arrests

The FBI is holding a press conference right now on the details around this morning's sports gambling bust. Here are some of the highlights: 1. Current and former NBA players and coaches Chauncey Billups, Terry Rozier, and Damon Jones have been arrested. 2. This was an illegal gambling and sports rigging operation that spanned years across 11 states. In total, 30 individuals have been arrested (13 mafia members). 3. The case involves La Cosa Nostra (the Italian mafia). 4. Charges include illegal gambling, wire fraud, and extortion. 5. There are two separate indictments. The first involves six defendants accused of participating in a sports corruption scheme that exploited insider information involving NBA players and teams. The defendants leveraged their connections to place prop bets based on confidential insider information, winning tens of thousands of dollars per bet. The second indictment involves 31 defendants charged with participating in a nationwide scheme to rig illegal poker games. The FBI says they used high-tech cheating technology to steal millions of dollars from victims in underground poker games that were secretly fixed. 6. The two cases are separate, but there are three overlapping defendants, including former NBA player and coach Damon Jones. 7. The FBI says that NBA player Terry Rozier told the defendants that he was going to leave a game early on March 23, 2023, with an injury. The defendants then placed more than $200,000 of wagers on the unders for his prop bets, with Rozier leaving the game after nine minutes. Those bets paid out tens of thousands of dollars in profits, and the defendants and Rozier counted the money at his house. 8 The FBI says that former Raptors player Jontay Porter was threatened to participate in the sports gambling scheme because of his gambling debts. 9. Teams that were bet on during the sports gambling scheme include the Charlotte Hornets, Portland Trail Blazers, Los Angeles Lakers, and the Toronto Raptors. 10. The rigged poker games occurred in the Hamptons, Miami, Las Vegas, and Manhattan. 11. The poker scheme targeted victims who were lured to participate in rigged poker games by the chance to play alongside former professional athletes. These athletes included Chauncey Billups and Damon Jones. 12. The FBI says that the defendants utilized altered shuffling machines to read the cards in the deck and then relayed that information to an off-site operator. The offsite operator — known as the "quarterback" — then sent that information to someone at the table. 13. The FBI also says that the defendants utilized other cheating technologies, including poker chip trays that read cards through hidden cameras, special contact lenses and glasses that could read marked cards, and x-ray poker tables that could read cards face down. 14. The FBI says that the defendants robbed a victim at gunpoint to acquire a rigged shuffling machine. 15. The sports gambling investigation is called "Operation Nothing But Net," while the poker investigation is called "Operation Royal Flush." 16. The FBI has been working on this investigation for four years, with victims losing at least $7 million. 17. One specific victim lost at least $1.8 million. 18. The FBI reviewed thousands of hours of video evidence and executed more than two dozen search warrants. These are just accusations at this point.

Sports commentary is dead. I miss the days where comparing teams didn't mean using ATS records and picking spreads over who will win. 🫠
