The Pats are back, gritty win LFG!

Josh Mcdaniels why are you employed?

000

That 3 and out probably costs the Pats this game. Allen is gonna get it going eventually

100

We are inventing new ways to turn the ball over

The NFL is such an embarrassing league, the holding on Jones and the Vrabel flag are such a joke.

First time Drake has looked like himself all season.

000

Tatums catch and shoot numbers are elite. Also high level pull up guy. Jaylen is neither of those

100

Easier to get to the paint when you have an elite screen setter and roller on the court at all times. Can’t switch a guard onto big Mitch or Quetta because it’s either a dunk or an o-reb. Last year was tough because nobody respected Luka or Vuc from 3 esp in the playoffs

100

They won’t at all, but 1 of the 2 always will be.

000

Point is they’ll always have one on the court.

000

Also teams don’t respect Jaylen as a catch and shoot guy like they’ll have to respect PG as long as he’s healthy

They didn’t have 2 elite rim running bigs and screen setters. They had two pick and pop guys that nobody really respected.

I think they’re going to lean heavily into high ball screens with 2 elite rim running bigs and lights out catch and shoot guys at every other wing and guard position. Tatum, Derrick, PP great pick and roll + pull up threats.

Agree on Jaylen too, but I think his bad qualities were accentuated worse in the playoffs. Aside from 24, he had some really tough playoff moments. I think he was a guy that coaches were able to exploit easier in a series. But time will tell when it comes to playoff success.

000

I agree about the regular season stuff when it comes to the off rebounding. Where I think Mitch can help them big time in the playoffs is always having an elite rim defender on the court.

000

I agree with pressuring opponents inside which is why Mitch is so huge. They have the best off rebounder of all time, and another elite offensive rebounder in Queta. That’s the pressure in the paint, along with 3 really solid pull up 3point shooters. Tough to defend

100

I thought that maybe Jaylen getting tunnel vision and high jacking the offense with long middies and live ball turnovers wasn’t helping. I also don’t think Paul George is the player they brought in too change how the team plays. I think Mitch Robinson is the player that does that.

Also they only have one other 6’10 guy who does all those things.

100

You said another solid wing who mostly just shoots threes. My bad for explaining that he might do a little more than that T

No but another complimentary wing who is a lights out shooter, doesn’t turn the ball over, and is high level defender and turnover creator. The game is more than just shooting the ball.

100

Starting the season 1-3 is tough, that why holding on in that Seattle game would have been so important. Thanks Drake

Play Efton Chism at quarterback

Sucks that it takes the Pats defense making huge plays every week to keep them in games 🤷‍♂️

Playoff Tatum @tonysmiles.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Agree, he’s such a force on both ends when healthy. He was the Knicks best player in the Celtics series two seasons ago and it wasn’t particularly close. He absolutely dominated, we had no shot of getting a defensive rebound when he was on the court.

My god Drake has just been awful to start the year.

Really hard to overstate just how central AI video slop is to the broader authoritarian project. It allows people to visualize fantasies without having to pay the social costs of such actions, while desensitizing people about the act itself. It's 4chan on steroids w a veneer of respectability.

Does anyone remember when @sallyjenx.bsky.social crashed out because people were pointing out that Bari was a complete hack and clown? How are things looking Sally?

And if you think this is wrong and needs to be addressed they call you a communist

To fill out your roster in other ways. Trading for PG and picks and then just letting him play out his contract would not be good, so extending him because he’s a solid player and opening up more cap space is just another option. Solid plan B if you can’t find a trade partner next offseason 🤷‍♂️

Because if you don’t trade for PG plus picks you are extending Jaylen at 70m+ a year into his mid 30s. Which I think would be bad. PG gives you optionally which could mean trading him next offseason plus picks for an all-nba guy or potentially extending him at a lower number to open more cap space

100

What about the Jaylen part of the equation?

100

Other teams can trade for the all-nba guys too. Takes two to tango. So yes, if they can’t find the right move for PG next offseason then extending him at a lower number would actually make a lot of sense. You could then create cap space to add to this roster through free agency rather than a trade.

000

Also is paying Jaylen 70mil a year until he’s 37 a good contract? Because that was the other option in this entire scenario.
