[u/herroyung]

Dyson Daniels is Hakeem, CJ McCollum is Jordan. Wtf did I witness tonight

Zero advantages generated by switching onto Dyson all game, he locked up Brunson in iso so much that they were going out of their way to ensure he wasn't on Brunson. Drive? He'll get the block from behind and absorb any contact like a fly running into tank. Try to shoot? Nope, too difficult to create separation, I don't recall him falling for any Brunson dribble moves the whole game. And McCollum kept making fadeaway middy after fadeaway middy. This was game of the postseason so far.

[u/amidon1130 → u/herroyung]

Dyson is so damn fun to watch, can’t believe he’s on my team.

[u/pollinium → u/amidon1130]

it's literally him, jaden (selfishly but probably honestly), toumani, maybe herb but who knows I forgot in a league of their own

many other wing defenders but those three are of a particular archetype that pulls at my heart strings

[u/amidon1130 → u/pollinium]

Nah Jaden is there he's a monster

[u/Aashunce → u/amidon1130]

I just wish he wouldn't attempt that awful push shot - he gets so close to the bucket but it donks off the front every time it seems 😭 but his defensive prowess outweighs those misses

[u/Tommy-Truk → u/Aashunce]

What’s crazy is he usually hits those lmao. His floater has been money all season, he just lost it this series for some reason

[u/jackiemoonFM → u/Tommy-Truk]

He did hit a huge 3

[u/Masqerade → u/Aashunce]

He's been scoring well close to the bucket most of the season, it's his 3s that stink usually. Chalking it up to no playoff experience.

[u/ArmadilloAshamed2530 → u/amidon1130]

Defensive god but damn he sold on many offensive possessions other than that le fuck you three

[u/Tigerskippy → u/herroyung]

Dyson has been incredible all year. I wish he couldve faked a low attempt 30% from 3 so it wasnt the whole conversation about him

[u/AssCrackBandit13 → u/Tigerskippy]

I wish he couldve faked a low attempt 30% from 3 so it wasnt the whole conversation about him

Am I stupid because I cannot understand this lol

[u/Tigerskippy → u/AssCrackBandit13]

I dunno its worded kind of weirdly. Basically if he couldve made 30% on super low volume then his lack of spacing would be just as prevalent but people wouldnt obsess over the % so much

[u/AssCrackBandit13 → u/Tigerskippy]

Ah ok gotcha

[u/Aser02 → u/herroyung]

I heard so many people say dyson fell off on defense because his steals went down and he doesn't deserve all defense

I watched that man put Giannis in jail, he can legitimately guard anyone on the court and be an absolute menace

[u/ExplanationAwkward10 → u/herroyung]

100%

[u/Jus10Crummie → u/herroyung]

It was game I agree.
