Clarkson has attempted 23 three point shots in the last 2 games and 3 two point shots lol. And 1 free throw. To his credit he has been ok from three during these 2 games (3-10 tonight and 6-13 last night).

I dont really like this jordan clarkson as much as the one that went inside frequently and got to the line once in a while.

They just talked about Simmons as a superstar. I think he's taken himself out of that conversation.

I love that they are talking like Lillard is an option for trade. Man, that is some weapons grade delusion there. You are looking at a collapsed lung McCollum and a slightly used Tony Snell.

The sixers announcers were funny. Early in the game they were giving credence to the Rudy slander from the minnesota guys last night. Then they were talking about best center in the nba and were like obviously we would take jokic and embiid over gobert (like he doesn't belong in the convo) then said that Bam is better than gobert as well.

As the game went on they started talking about gobert like he is the best player in the entire nba.

If you only watch highlights and check box scores then you just dont understand. Watch gobert play and focus on his effect on the game and you realize that he is one of the top 5 or 10 players in the nba and probably should be in the mvp conversations. He is that good.

That was funny when right at the end the guy said he might take Bam because he has offense too, neglecting that Rudy could have way more offense if he weren't surrounded by a historically great offense.

On the bright side, he still has gravity. people will still follow him all over the court to contest his shot, sometimes they bring a friend.
 
I watched the game on a feed I found online. It had a ton of sound from the players. Embiid really likes to talk trash and cry. Like allllllllllot. It was amazing to watch Rudy just destroy him tonight.

Didn't even realize Whiteside had 14/10 in just 15 minutes. That production is crazy. Jazz C's simply dominated tonight.

That is why Embiid became "injured." For bad mouthing Rudy, he sure turns up hurt a lot when it is time to play him.

Ya my issue is simply that he is soooo good around the basket and he isn't using that amazing part of his game. And he is just a decent 3 point shooter. If we were talking about kyle korver or something then what jordan clarkson is doing would be fantastic.
You are right that he isn't being left open though. I just have higher expectations for clarkson than guys dont leave him open.

His handle has been a little loose this year. Last year it was super tight.

I think teams are game planning around taking away his inside game a lot more than they did last year. He draws a lot more doubles and passing inside out is still a weaker part of his game. When he gets that heavy cover inside and then finds the open guy on the perimeter, that guy is usually WIDE open. Clarkson needs to improve that part of his game or teams will shut him down hard when he adventures inside.

Ya and last year he was 53% from 2 and 34% from three. He took less threes last year and more twos (and more free throws) and won 6th man of the year and averaged quite a bit more points last year. He should try to play like he did when he had a career year imo.

I dont see him even attempting to go inside. Ball touches hand, 3 point shot goes up.

Right?!
 
We did fantastic these last couple nights containing the all-star bigs. Seemed like we helped / doubled at exactly the right times and either forced a tough shot or when KAT or Embiid passed we recovered nicely.
