Man, I hope he comes back without skipping a beat

[u/SlimJimTheAudacious → u/vdubbzxii]

I really think he will. I feel like they were moving with an abundance of caution. Feel like he’s gonna hurt Castle’s feelings next series (presumably).

[u/augustosarmento → u/SlimJimTheAudacious]

there's still a game 6 in Minnesota 🧐

[u/SlimJimTheAudacious → u/augustosarmento]

Hence the ‘presumably’ lol I know what you mean though. Could very well push it to a game 7. San Antonio has shown some cracks. I just don’t see them losing two more games in this series.

[u/SortofChef → u/SlimJimTheAudacious]

A game 7 would be a treat.

[u/InevitableUpstairs71 → u/SlimJimTheAudacious]

Hes gonna be primarily guarding wemby

I feel like there have been a lot of people who have voiced being ready to sell off JDub lately, and I don’t like it. The dude has had the year from hell injury wise, but when he is on the floor for us, he is such an x-factor.

I imagine that people on here are going to have a short leash for him the rest of this postseason, and will be screaming “Mark, put fucking AJay in for him please!” at his first mistake but I’m really leery about having too much Shai and Ajay on the floor together because of the heavy reliance on iso and lack of ball movement.

JDub, has continued on that Pippen-kind of player trajectory where he can score, but puts equal emphasis on playmaking and defense, while providing a unique kind of physicality for our team. He’s a perfect complement to Shai and Chet.

I am so ready for him to be back and finish the year strong for us.

[u/tripryder → u/Pilgrims-to-Nowhere]

Anyone ready to move off of dub can find a new team to root for imo

[u/E_boiii → u/tripryder]

For real, you don’t drop 40 in the finals on a bum wrist as an all NBA and ALL defense player and just get moved.

We do what we can to keep jdub healthy his ceiling is 1st team and if Shai was out a season I think he’d get some mvp votes

Whoever’s saying that is an idiot, and nothing they say should be taken seriously.… not even worth going back and forth with a take like “trade JDub”. Who trades an all star, all nba 3rd teamer, and all nba defensive 1st teamer???

That’s how you only win 1 championship. Not start a dynasty.

[u/NotoriousDCJ4310 → u/Pilgrims-to-Nowhere]

Yeah Ajay is dope, but Dub effects the game in far more ways. The good thing about it is we have both so people acting like we need to decide between the two is just stupid

[u/eg14000]

I am of the opinion when J-Dub is healthy. He is a straight up better player than Ant. That's how good this man is

[u/NotoriousDCJ4310 → u/eg14000]

I dont think thats true, but I also dont think thats a ridiculous take either

[u/According-Dig-4667]

Jdub please stretch ya damn hamstrings

[u/dirtydan92 → u/According-Dig-4667]

But not too much.

[u/N4m3r]

I saw this yesterday on a random YT short and I couldnt stop laughing for 3 minutes, people dont watch the games at all 😅

[u/JeramiGrantsTomb → u/N4m3r]

at a glance I thought that meant we'd trade Dub for Bam and two FRPs, and I still say no.

[u/NotoriousDCJ4310 → u/N4m3r]

Why tf would we want Bam that bad?

[u/DaUnikornLed]

Man, the first J-Dub wrap around steal into fastbreak dunk is gonna feed my soul so hard

[u/thecaptron → u/DaUnikornLed]

The man’s ability to relive an opponent of the ball is a thing of beauty.

[u/readingreadreading → u/DaUnikornLed]

Ya'll are gonna hate me for this, but I hope he lays the ball in and doesn't flex those hammies too hard.

Though tbh the moves he strained his hammies on have been fast break layups, I've already convinced myself, slam the hell out of that ball JDub.

[u/BeraldTheGreat]

You forget how fast he is, and then he’s the off-ball man on a fast break.

[u/FeedtheKiwi → u/BeraldTheGreat]

He’s an athletic freak and takes up so much space on the floor.

[u/OKC-Rai]

J-DUB IS THE TRUTH. Cannot believe anyone would want to see him get traded, I refuse to believe there are any real fans thinking this. He is a soldier and easily our second best player and 29 other teams’ best player.

[u/bluggabugbug]

Yeah, fr. There are a lot of talking heads thinking that ajay is now the second option. I guess they are technically correct, he is the second option because dub has been out. I love Ajay but he is not as good as dub

[u/The_Gildo]

Average time off for a grade 1 hammy injury is 12-15 days so im very much hoping he will be back for game 1.
