Stranger Things series finale. What a mess.

I really liked it. I seemingly liked the last season more than many viewers.  I guess I expected Will to play a larger role in the finale after the sorcerer buildup, but overall it satisfied me and wrapped things up well enough.

If Georgia wins, it could be Georgia vs. Carson Beck

Looks like we?re gonna survive despite poor shooting from 3. Too bad JB isn?t gonna break the 30 point streak but he?s still in good company with Larry Legend.

As a Larry Legend fanatic, glad he tied it and didn't break it!

Interesting to note that Larry?s highest ppg was 29.9 in 87-88 in 39mpg.  JB is currently 29.5 ppg in 34 mpg. Speaks to how great an offensive year JB is having.

That's true, but it's a different mindset now in how the game is played. 

In 87-88, Bird had 237 total 3PA or 3.1 3PAPG and made 41.4%.  Jaylen already has 135 3PA and is shooting 5.5 3PAPG and is hitting 37%.  Jaylen is doubling what players used to do.  Imagine Larry taking 487 3's which is Jaylen's high but instead of hitting 33.5% like Jaylen did, he hit 41%.  Even in Birds last year, bad back and all, he hit 52/128 3's for 40.6%!

Bird's career APG is 6.3 and 10 RPG.  Jaylen is 2.7 APG and 5.4 RPG.

Don't get me wrong, I love JB, but comparing him the LB is wrong.

You?re right - there?s no comparing a top 10 all timer to JB - but looking at cherry picked stats, JB has numbers at the moment that mirror MVP worthy stats. That?s impressive for a guy who in some rankings couldn?t break top 20 last year. He?s moved himself up to looking like a top ten player.  But yeah - he?ll never be in the stratosphere that LB lived.

Doncic is getting flamed online for not playing defense. I haven't seen much of the Lakers outside of clips or highlights, but even with Luka's remarkable weight loss and being in shape he looks like he isn't even trying on that end. Guys are still just blowing past him or he's not even really helping on defense when someone else is defending and needs it maybe inside the paint. He just stares and stands there.

Even Reggie Miller said that it was disturbing for him to see Luka playing with no effort on D.

This does make me happy.  Doesn?t make up for the god awful trade that occasionally keeps me up at night. Will be ten years before the impact of that one wanes.  Keep slacking Luka!
