I’m going to miss this thread…

Personally, I don’t understand it, but it’s fairly obvious if you watch how they interact with each other. Even when they do interact sometimes it seems forced or fake.

I watch a lot of their games. Doncic is a great offensive talent, but he’s still at that stage where he’s trying to do too much. At times it also appears he’s freezing KP out. You can tell KP gets upset about it. It’s almost as if there’s some kind of ego related competition between them and Doncic would rather shoot a bad shot himself or give it to another teammate rather than give KP the ball and let him score.

There was a play a few games back where Doncic was driving to the hoop, got double teamed, had KP wide open under the basket and forced a bad pass and TO to someone else instead. I thought KP was going to have a stroke. lol

Z-man:
Porzingis had a big game vs. the Bucks…seems like that wrist injury was no biggie…

In the game against Houston KP was having a good game and then didn’t see the ball in the 4th quarter. Doncic was having a terrible game but was taking all the shots. It became a big issue on the Mavs blogs and apparently spilled over into post game comments about why he didn’t score down the stretch. Porzingis said the plays they’ve been running in the 4th quarter often leave him never seeing the ball. It was backhanded shot at Doncic.

The relationship between Doncic and KP is cold. They apparently do NOT like each other. Doncic freezes him out and looks him off at times. It’s very obvious. That pisses KP off. You can see it in his face, especially when Doncic throws up a trash shot instead. lol

Supposedly Carlisle addressed it with KP and then KP and Doncic had a “talk”. So last night they were looking for him and he had a huge game down the stretch.

I think it’s better than even money KP gets traded. He wants out and Dallas knows the two them don’t like each other. So Doncic will get what he wants. KP has to stay healthy to keep himself marketable. The rumor is the Warriors tried to trade for him before the deadline and will try again after the season.

***there are not a lot of great comps for a caricature like poku. he is not an ersatz center who can do some other stuff like thon maker or bender, he is a pg stuck inside the body of an 85 inch pipe cleaner.***

I didn’t realize he was this kind of player. Yes, intriguing and hard to comp. Anthony Randolph was 6’11, 195 at the combine I think. He, too, was an intriguing but ultimately unsound NBA package. I think Odom was a skinny 6’11 pg/pf combo when he entered the league, too. But from what you describe, this guy isn’t even like those two specimens, and is worth checking out. Thanks.

And i remember watching a Knox coast to coast dunk and thinking him as the next Pippen but i guess it was just the beer talking! ;-p
