Yeah, I'm also losing faith in McGee.
I've been taught all my life to value service to the weak and powerless.

If setting good picks is minor issue why Blatche and McGee still don't do it right?

What an absurd thing to say in my book. If you're a professional and you can't get the most fundamental things right then clearly you don't get what the word professional implies.

Setting a pick and boxing out are two of the most fundamental things in basketball, yet two of our supposed cornerstone big man can't do either.

It's sad quite frankly and not very confidence inspiring.

i'm not saying blatche could be effective, i'm saying he has been effective.


You must be watching different games than i am. When i see Blatche get fed in the post what i see is a steady stream of jumpers preceeded by an excessive amount of between the legs dribbling. Even when he does get good post position he frequently backs up after getting the ball.

I'll go with 25-41. My gut says that prediction is too optimistic but there should be at least some modest improvement over last season with Wall alone.

20 wins. I would have said 25 wins in an 82 game schedule.

Gonna watch that last pre-season game to gauge how-bad we are then make a prediction.

Just looking around at everyone else, I'd say we are in the Top-3 worst teams in the NBA.

Had we drafted Kemba Walker, Singleton, and Jordan Williams, I would be more optimistic.

Is Nick playing tomorrow? Jus' askin, because Mo Evans didn't play one day after he was signed.

I'm with you... In a bad draft year that would have been a significant haul.

I read he would not be playing tomorrow.

But we should get to see Booker and Evans.

It was not a bad draft class. It probably a better class the Walls class.

Jordan Williams?

Only place he makes a difference is for 2nd division team in Turkey somewhere.

Just going off-of Williams's College rebounding numbers, he was one of the best college bounders, something this team desperately needs.

His rebounding wouldn't help this team if he's so bad at the other aspects of the game that he can't get on the floor.
