Why did we not take Giannis?

Giannis always plays good against us. It's bs

it's so funny seeing smith being too terrible to learn the triangle

luckily he won't get big minutes during the season

I've said before that STAT and Bargs both played best last year at the 5. Which isn't saying much, but he's less of a net-negative this way.

Barf is bad on both sides.

I want him shipped back to Italy yesterday, but he showed the most flashes when playing center last year. That Houston game where he basically tamed Dwight early in the season comes to mind.

I think Melo is afraid of that Greek Freak guy, a little bit anyway.

Derek Fisher was born to stand on the sidelines in a suit!

Is it just me or does Thanassis' brother carry the ball on every dribble?

or is it just a technical decision?

I wouldnt risk my 37 year old in preseason. We pretty much know what to expect from him.

hopefully it is so, but he should still get some play time to get into game rhythm. just a bit.
i am certain he can still contribute to the team

what about J Smith and Bargnani?

bargs has the hammy issue, Smith imo has a spot locked up....probable starter.

Larkin sucks offensively. What exactly is he good at? No handle, no jumpshot, no penetration. Meh...

Post #257 » by **Capn'O** » Tue Oct 21, 2014 12:10 am

This team is gonna have a really tough time fielding a 2nd unit.

I think that's just how long his legs are?

Not bad 1 on 1 defender...terrible off the ball....just comical.

Just outside the lottery. He went #15 - same as Frederic Weis in 1999 :banghead:
