This.

He's a guy who can play center in small stretches, but otherwise he's a four.

Just try to protect home court next 2 games.

Hornets interviewing Redick for head coach….. that was our guy. Actually invested in creating and being different in coaching.

We our stuck with hold them under 100 and hope we have a chance


Fans wanting to fire a guy finishing 2nd or 3rd in COY is laughable

So many disparaging comments about players on the team only display how little some people on the board actually understand the talent. These are same guys that won 47 games in regular season behind some great defense based on high hustle and effort, but we are not going to outhustle teams in playoffs.

We will play better at home.

The way he’s moving though, we should really sit him. Not worth it at all.

I wasn't. This is a bad matchup to start Isaac. Wendell and Isaac both starting would be fine.

Yup 20 point difference and he’s been grabbing at his knee a bit. Don’t need to overdue it with him
A scoring guard.. never heard of one. :roll:

Mosely being top 3 in COY voting is laughable anyway.

But we won’t talk about that here.

Rebounding isn't about height, it's a skill. Barkley would poop on our entire team.

Hell, Josh Hart would be our best rebounder

I think we should go back to what mostly worked for 82 games. Let JI come off the bench, or play him alongside WCJ even Goga.
