I actually think this is one of the teams where Al really hurts us and we're better off without him. I think we can at least hang with them with our makeshift lineup. I wonder when MJ, Cho and Clifford will prioritize development. If this season were a game, we'd be behind 20 with 5 minutes left in the 4th quarter with the other team basically scoring at will. So when do you bring Vonleh off the bench?

Clifford will bench Cody Zeller and Bismack Biyombo in the 4th quarter after Channing Frye make a 3-pointer or two, and then we will be heavily outrebounded and easily scored on in the paint down the stretch of the game

I hope that the Charlotte Hornets pay you good money for damage control, because you do a excellent job of refuting the notion that this team's front office has made any mistakes

I mean your statement was factually wrong. We lost that game in the third quarter (the one where we were outscored by 14), not the fourth quarter, where we outscored them by 4 and actually got ourselves back into the game.

How could my statement which was actually in the form of a sarcastic prediction be wrong if it has yet to happen? My statement didn't mention anything about the Cleveland game

.....

I'll be waiting for a accurate response from you since you decided to jump the gun to protect the ineptitude of the way how the team has been managed this season and put thoughts into my statements as if you knew what I was saying

So we're gonna lose this game in the 3rd quarter instead of the 4th quarter? Great!

Let 'yosemiteben' tell it, it's best to lose the game in the 3rd rather than the 4th so that our far-fetched theories to denounce Clifford's rotations can be wrong

So your prediction was completely unrelated to Cody getting benched last night? Ok, I must be forgetting about those other games where Cody got benched for giving up threes.

I just get tired of the lack of perspective on here. If we had a healthy Al, Lance and MKG all season, we would be in entirely different situation. Our starting lineup has never had time to gel because they've never all been healthy at the same time. People can criticize Cho all they want, but we have yet to see whether the team he put together last offseason even works when everyone is healthy.

I clearly am more patient than most on here. I'm not going to abandon everything about this team until we at least see whether the pieces fit when healthy.

The Nets were 10-21 at the end of December last year. It's too soon to give up.

My statement had everything to do with the fact that Channing Frye 'will' make a 3-pointer or more regardless of who is guarding him, and consequentially at the moment I believe Zeller or Biyombo will be defending him, and Clifford will go into panic-mode to matchup against the Magic perimeter shooting bigs, but it'll only make matters worse since Marvin Williams & Jason Maxiell are net negative players that don't offer much at all on the floor at this point of their careers

...nothing to do with the Cleveland game. If I wanted to talk about that game I would've posted in that game's thread

Cody menacingly enters the arena with his hoodie on.

A truly great sight to behold.

Pargo might as well be an assistant with the way he looks tonight in that suit, giving everybody high-fives, sitting besides Price.
