Streak 🙂
Start Tari Eason! It is well deserved. 2nd pick, 3rd pick, 16th pick,17th pick it does not matter. The better player right now should win out. Stats and eye the test does not lie! He also got snubbed from the rising star game…
The question is this, would you rather have streaky inconsistent shooters or hustle hustle hustle who will hustle until the shot goes in each attempt? Start Ty Ty as PG (why are we still messing with Nix), KJ at at SG, Tari at SF, Tate at PF and Sengun at C. Team Hustle …and shoutout to Tari, you shoulda been in the Rising Stars… I am wondering if Jackson and Madison have thoughts on Ty Ty and his experience coming out of Kentucky and whether he can be a NBA starting PG if he actually got consistent minutes?
tari the steal of the draft better than jabari
start tari over bari
I'm starting to see it was walker kessler making jabari look as good as he did at auburn…
Josh Christopher looked good tonight.
Green and KPJ have a spot in the NBA but they just aren’t those guys
I've been saying Tari should be starting over Jabari for a few weeks now glad to see everyone is starting to see it.
Sengun was pretty awesome tonight he made a massive difference a +/- of +15 shows his defensive impact. Having even average level perimeter defence allows him to effectively contest at the rim.
Got Us A 🤪 Goofy Wanna Be Silas On The Air…. Laughin At Dude Having 12 Rebounds Yea That Was So Laugh Worthy… Just A Culture Vulturing 🤡
im so scared we pick 3 or later and draft another jabari smith jr type player im terrified
Did you guys say nix had a good defensive game‼️😂😂😂 I guess I see something everyone else didn’t see‼️😂😂😂maybe it’s me… I’m tripping‼️😂😂😂
My man Tari put up 20 points in just 19 minutes also, imagine how good he'll do if we start playing him 30+.. he could be Trevor Ariza on steroids 🙏🏼💪🏼🚀 great job Jackson
Jalen and KPJ try to play pretty ball and make highlight reels. They gotta dial that back and just play to be effective and win.
I don't wanna talk about Daishen Nix
Yall forget that Tari is two years older than Jabari.
What makes Tari the better option is Tari knows what kind of player he is and effects the game in a variety of ways.
Jabari is struggling.
Mostly because his best attribute being a mid range shot tower isn't being utilized as it should be for a multitude of reasons. Jabari needs to play with 3 pt shooting big to open the floor and post up at the elbow.
When he plays with sengun the paint is senguns play ground and being a mid range shooter diminishes not to mention his shooting struggles.
He needs more corner 3s amd to become proficient at playing the base line. 3 pt shot. Dribble and pull up or fake 1 2 and lay up. Or pass to a cutter shooter or alley
Tari not getting 25 minutes a night is embarrassing. Dudes getting 19 a night. No reason why Tate or EG should be getting minutes over him
typical American NBA fan culture. A player has one good game and instantly he is the new Goat in the making.
Tari is enough aggressive and desert to start.
They do NOT USE JABARI RIGHT AT ALL! He is a starter they need to draw him some plays up he not a creator!
Don’t get me wrong I really like tari but kj earned the starting 3 spot he’s the most consistent and efficient but tari is Great coming off the bench
When was last time a guy who played only19 minutes and grabbed 12 offensive boards?
Jabari is a great defender but I don’t think he will improve in the offense
Jalen, KMJ, Tari, Bari, Sengun
KMJ cuts to the rim with flair screens or with off-ball screen help
Sengun make plays with Jalen
Tari hustles for steals
Offensive boards (Tari and Sengun)
Jalen & Jabari shooting treats
Tari & Jabari can defend pick&Roll
Sengun can be help defense as a rim blocker
KPJ can be 6th man, go ham on 2nd units and lead reserves
And Trade EG, get somebody else for veteran presence ideally a pass first PG who can guide TyTy as well.
❤🚀🤟🏾
Lucas saying tari is a better rodman is starting to sound realistic after that rebounding performance……it’s so frustrating as a Houston fan knowing we always have great pieces but yet never seem to be on target with a lot of the things we do
Tari really really got snubbed for the rising star game…
