Allow me to flex for a little bit:
I thought that Jerome Robinson looked pretty good in the scrimmage games.
That’s right: I actually sometimes watch FULL games and am able to form opinions on and draw inferences from them. Meanwhile, all you can manage to do is feebly watch highlight videos with your half-lidded eyes only intermittently sending signals to your brain. You would never be able to come up with the opinion that I did, unless someone graciously made highlights of Robinson from the scrimmage games and you managed to comprehend those highlights well enough to be able to re-tell what they showed. That is what separates me from you. Now and forever.
CONSUME.
But for real though, Robinson was obviously trying to show that he could kinda replace the “injured” Bradley Beal, if not in production, at least in spirit. And it was working. And it’s continuing to work. 20 points is a totally reasonable point total for Beal (at least, early-season Beal, late-season Beal was scoring 50 every game).
Robinson, to this point in his NBA career, has not proven himself to be a reliable 20-point scorer. Not even close. Not even a reliable 10-point scorer. He had a 21 point game earlier this season, and then what? A 14-burger, and two more 10-burgers, one from last season. And that’s it when it comes to double-figure games. So why am I not more hyped for this, a incredible scoring outburst from one of the more pathetic scorers in the league?
