Not to feed into the rumors or whatnot...no Tinsley or Jermaine...

trade them now. i don't care. I love tinsley, but i'd trade him and jermaine, or one of the two!

we seem to play better when those two are out

Man I wanted Diener to do well shooting so he proves himself, but he kept us afloat and that matters for something. Why did O'Brien start Owens? Nice game by Dunleavy and Rush, they seem to be our two best players right now.

Tinsley and JO to the Bulls for 2 of their young pieces and bad contracts?

His injury is lingering, and we seem to do well without him. Could be a trade soon considering there has been reports that we are tired of him. Diener is our point guard of the future.

diener is our backup pg of the future imo.

What makes you guys think he can't start? He isn't THAT undersized, considering he is 6'1 and 6'2 isn't considered undersized. His defense isn't as bad as Tinsley's, and he just had a bad shooting night. Plus, he is an O'Brien point guard, he plays off ball, can pass, and not to mention shoot. His defense isn't as bad as some think. Plus, he is faster than advertised. Whats not to like?

I don't think we play well without Tinsley.

We played very bad in his first absence.

We are 2-4 without him, and losses to Memphis at home and Bobcats.

Of late we do great without him. Owens just sucked to start the game.

JarrettJackSG · Post #112 » by **JarrettJackSG** » Thu Jan 17, 2008 2:57 am

poor sample size, poor shooting as of late, needs some more quickness, and while he's like dunleavy, we need some athelticism at the pg spot.

His ankle is hurting him, so his shooting needs to be excused. Plus, he hasn't been playing regularly except for lately. Plus, he is very fast, I don't know where you get at saying he needs to be quicker. We need athletecism a lot, but we can't just rule him out because of that.

Good PG debut thus far...just keep it kind please...

The Diener starting talk is way too early. That being said, Rush starting was way too early, so whatever!

jeremy1215 · Post #116 » by **jeremy1215** » Thu Jan 17, 2008 3:50 am

So any more game threads that need to be made? I can make them pretty much whenever and I think I can eventually be really good at it.

He is better than Tinsley at everything but dribbling. Honestly, that is the only thing that I can think of that Tinsley might be better at. Better shooter, faster, better defender (by a hair), better looking, more fun to watch, better shot selection, better free throw shooter, offense flows better with him in, more of a fan favorite, doesn't get in trouble, what else does he need to be better at ?

You seem to have good luck, so go for it!
(but add some T&A for us who remember some of l/y's threads fondly! :wink:

Tinsley's a better passer, but I agree that Diener does what the offense needs. He drives to the lane w/ passing on his mind FIRST, shooting second, which is what we need from our starting PG, especially if we're gonna stay w/ this small lineup and have Danger, Dunleavy, and Rush on the perimeter.

Trade Tinsley for any PG who can penetrate and dish... I saw Arroyo a while back, even Ridnour. We need that on a night-to-night basis from our PG. I still would rather have Rush come off the bench, but he was amazing tonight!
