Down 22 at the half and gave up 78 points? No problem, just outscore them 47-15 in the 3rd. #JustWarriorsThings

Eric Bledsoe hasn’t been the pickup for Milwaukee that they thought. I wonder if they are brave enough to go back to Malcolm Brogdon if Bledsoe continue to struggle.

I have no idea how the Pistons are doing better than us with a lesser starting lineup and even weaker bench. SVG must’ve adjusted his routine towards the modern NBA this season while Clifford is still doing the old routine.

Bradley is great and was seriously underrated with the Celtics and overall they have a very nice rotation of 8/9 players (ish smith could flourish here, and at least you would have your scoring pg from the bench), with a bunch of them playing tough if you know what i mean. They play physical because they can and want to do it. And Drummond improved significantly.
Before giving up on Clifford, Cho should find him couple more 'tough' players that can play in both ends.

If Batum can defend the way he did during last game for half of the remaining games, it should be enough along with MLG and ocassionnaly another wing who steps up for the backcourt (even though, another cheap 3D could be useful when Graham & Bacon are playing like c*p).
But Hornets really need an upgrade over Frank, that's just so obvious (and by upgrade i don't mean Love, i mean real upgrade). That's about two years that i want one for cheap (guys like Jamychal Green, Mike Scott..).

That was an amazing read. IDK if Silas will ever be a head coach, but that makes it sound like he could be a really good one.

I literally laughed out loud at Monk's comment about Cliff.

paging ESAL

Young Silas played games of HORSE on the Garden floor with Patrick Ewing’s son (little Patrick) and mopped sweat while Big Patrick was shooting free throws. He also learned an essential lesson in those years.

Fun charismatic persona. He’s entertaining.

Remember James Young, the UK dude who got drafted a couple years ago. He's in the G league, and after five games here is his stat line: 29.6 ppg, 60% FG, 51% 3PT (8.6 attempts), 5.8 boards, 1.2 assists, 1.4 steals

Lebron gets ejected for first time in his career and he whines about it. Same with Dwade acting all surprised. These guys act like they run the league, it's about time some official did something about it.

who would have thought that Spencer Dinwiddie was probably the ideal backup point guard for us.

averaging 12 points and 6 assists. 1 turnover with 39% three point shooting, comparing the growth to last year it looks like he is more taking advantage of more opportunity than a flash in the pan.

Handy cheap pick up for the nets.

I really wanted the Hornets to draft him with their 2nd round pick that year. I didn't expect Detroit to let him go ... and I definitely didn't see his Nets production coming. I do like seeing him do well though.

it wouldn't surprise me to see Lebron go to 76ers next season. Attach himself to a talented team even though he is a crappy fit.

Lebron and Simmons 2 slashing forwards who need the ball in their hands. Can imagine Embiid loving playing the Bosh/Love role

Post #178 » by **Diop** » Thu Nov 30, 2017 7:14 am

we get annoyed with Dwights free throw shooting, Lonzo Ball is worse

he's got some work to do, he's looking more MCW than J Kidd

I just can't see Lebron going to Philadelphia or joining a team that doesn't have proven all-stars. I also can't see him wanting to be a sidekick to a young guy like Simmons. Not to mention joining a team that embraced losing is kind of off putting for one of the greatest of all time.

My best guess is he'll stay in Cleveland if their Nets draft pick turns out to be a top 3 pick, otherwise he'll join up with guys like Paul George and/or Demarcus Cousins in LA.

Mitchell would be perfect for us. He's gonna be a stud.
