Simmons opens with about 25 minutes of his take on wk 1 NBA and mentions my newest bestie, and the guy kid has never seen play but has a hot take all ready to go, Payton Prichard. PP gets some Sportsguy love.
Is this still off my initial comment on Celts use of PP?
I have seen Pritchard three times now. I have been a fan from the start.
Makes rook mistakes. What rook doesnt. And spacing in this league is learned
But the jumper is better than I imagined. Not his fault he is not used to the size he will see flying at him (open he is pure)
Other than that - I would just like to see Celts let him out of the cage a bit, so to speak. Have to see that magic handle - as Hornets are allowing Ball.
Too often of course, as is today's game, the PG is limited due to the rebounder insisting on bringing it up court (and seemingly not to coach's dismay). Days of the true point are dwindling.
Thanks for the nod on the Simmons cast. I have just begun to open up the podcast world.
I'm glad your a PP fan, I think he's shown a lot in a short period of time.
But Kid to be honest you changed your tune after I called you out on your Pritchard "stays in the corner" snark and comping him to a rook who might get 5 minutes a night in blowouts.
And your come back was "PP wasn't running the offense"
And I told you, No shit, with no pre-season and no summer league and "2 games in" PP didn't know the offense. 5 games in he still doesn't.
At that time you seemed unaware that he was getting minutes, and performing well.
Now that he's been getting some pub, you're a big fan.
So am I, but I'm waiting to see what he does and how he adjusts, as the league gets a read on him.
And they will.
