Silver is feeling the pressure with all these undesirable markets among the top teams this year.

this helps give context....sometimes, it feels like nba hates the raps but i guess raps are not the only team that gets short end of the stick sometimes

Nah Cooper looks like the best rookie. He’s been ridiculous the past week or two. He does everything.

Because Barnes was guarding Melo instead of IQ doing it and he was able to get to those rebounds Barnes often gets.

But regardless, since to see.

insane to see the 6"8" PF having to guard the others teams PG because no one else on the team can do it :lol:


More crazy to realize unless there'd a rebound God, positioning and athleticism can matter more in rebounding in terms of positioning.

IQ being more closer position allowed him to get more. But also explains why Charlotte got more o rebounds because the contested would go more Charlotte way with that.

I told everyone these Charlotte games are very often weird. How can anyone forget that Jeremy Lamb shot?

Actually almost had something weird happen again when Ingram went to squeeze the board and it slipped out of his hands right to Sexton for a wide open layup

BI really put on a show for friends and family back in North Carolina.

It was definitely a tough night for the team stats, outrebounded, free throw discrepancy, and high turnovers.

The two blocks at the end secured the win.

He didn't force a shot when he could have in that situation, he found the open man and then on the other end he blocked a gametying shot.. that's mvp level tbh


Demar should never be put in the same sentence as a guy like BI. BI does everything better, and most things much better.

the real issue is that so many people just refuse to accept that DD was just plain bad.


My biggest criticism of DeMar was the pecking order. The pecking order was DeMar, DeMar, DeMar, Kyle, Jonas. Jonas would get the defensive rebound and be the first player down the court and just get ignored. We had to get rid of DeMar so Kyle could realize there were other players on the team.


And that's why he was bad - he needed the ball every possession and for the entire shot clock.

On a side note, melo is like a poor man Trae, shoot long distance 3s like he is Steph. Not playing winning basketball for your entire career gets to you.

How is this your takeaway from going 8-1 in the last nine games?


Because I’m not just looking at box scores from this game.

I'm actually starting to see why people say that he'd be better off as a 6th man. He's a horrible defender, i can only imagine in the playoffs teams picking on him over and over. When he's not scoring he's a liability.

He also forces it a few times instead of making the open pass. Missed a few guys tonight. Frustrating to watch.

I think you want them to develop chemistry, although RJ might kick it out more often, he just loves those go-left kamikaze drives. But right now, I think Darko has the minutes and pairings about right.

The problem today, other than turnovers and missed bunnies, was too much hero ball. Multiple guilty parties.

Nailed it.

Career low in Turnovers at 1.6 per game and rocking a 2.5:1 A/TO ratio which is also a career best. He's made good decisions with the ball this season.

There has to be somesort of review on referee quality or at the crew level like they have in base ball. This is ridiculous
