am I alone in thinking that Larry Brown choked in that final series?

Making our whole defence concentrate on Howard but allowing everyone to go nuts seemed stupid to me.

Not saying we should have won the series, but we should have won 1 bloody game


LB definitely did not have a good game plan and he never changed even when it was obvious our strategy wasnt working.

Clifford does the same thing to an extent.

I think 08-09 Bell would be a great fit for our current team. 3 & D.
Diaw is a talented version of McBob and the 08-09 Charlotte version averaged 15pts at 49% fg, 41%3pt, 5.9 rebs and 4.9 assists. It was the best statistical return of his career. His rebounding stats weren't great but he blocked out well to give Crash the rebounds.

Gilwalker always likes to point out that any version of Boris Diaw was in fact an unmotivated Diaw.

how do we get him? hendo + zeller + biz + detroit + portland + mj's new baby + autographed ping pong paddle by cho
:lol:

The ping-pong paddle seals it.


In all seriousness, I would offer this, but there's no way Golden State would accept. Barnes would be available for much cheaper too.

how do we get him? overpay like crazy in the summer after clearing as much cap space as possible
Hayward hasn't impressed me. I'm not willing to pay eight figures a year for the dude. Hayward is shooting 31% from deep this year, which was supposed to be his breakout y. I'll pass.



Barnes is terrible. Stay far away from Harrison

I still have nightmares. LB was the absolute worst. I can't believe how excited I was when he came onboard. DJ over Brook. Ajinca. Letting Jameer Nelson shoot open threes. I think I'm starting to have a seizure.

LB really murdered our cap situation which is what I'm seriously fearing Cho will do right now.
