A new coach

I don't like Hornacek that much, but I don't think any coach would do much better with this mess of a roster.

I'd like to see what Thibs would do though.

Honestly, it seems like after the top 4 it drops off, and then maybe after the next 4 it drops off, but then after that, there are good players for about 8 more picks from what I can tell. So I don't think it matters much between like 9-16. Plenty of forwards and or guys who play center in college around there.

But most of those guys in that range are not ready to contribute seriously much very quickly in the nba. I mean some of them barely contribute in college, but are serious prospects, like Myles Turner at Texas. You might want to look him up on Draft Express....he might be there when we pick.

Seriously. that's called not watching the game and just judging off analytics the one downfall of solely looking at stats for face value. Knight had 3-4 shots that should've been in on that.

A Dragic-Knight backcourt would have been pretty awesome

After you said that I looked at the Miami boxscore tonight

The Heat played the 76ers.

And we've played the Cektics & TWolves in 2 of our last 3 games.

Well thats the game folks. Good effort, a resurgence in moral

In Len We Trust · Post #348 » by **In Len We Trust** » Tue Feb 24, 2015 4:23 am

Bledsoe had the worst 21 point, 10 assist, 7 rebound game of all time

It's crazy to lose a game when you outrebound the opposition by eight, six more blocks, and shoot better from the floor. :banghead:

Those are good numbers. Only superstars who can get to the line a ton score a ton of points on huge shots. Even guys like Kobe always had close to (or often times more than) shots than they did points. And he would never hit 40% from 3.

So a great game from Goran Dragic and Thomas beats us in the fourth.

Salt. Much salt.

Archie for 3!! Looking better even if doesn't matter anymore.

Also, it was in green font, which means sarcasm, if you didn't know.

Bledsoe with a great stat line tonight 21/7/10/2/1......but with 6 turnovers. Another double-double, but the TO just kill us.

This...

...for 48 minutes straight every game, and then die of a heartattack 15 games into the season.

The way he played i'd call that empty stats. He made some decent assists but overall he did a poor job of running the offense

Twolves are not a bad team. Do not forget that Martin, Rubio, and Pekovic have been hurt virtually the entire season and played against the Suns. The 76ers team is beyond atrocious. They are a disgrace. I cannot even name anyone on their team after they traded MCW. Maybe Jason Richardson if he is back or something. The loss tonight is awful though. I do not want to build a losing culture and the Morris brothers and Tucker are part of that. They were on the team during the 2012-2013 season and I want them off the team asap.

Maybe the Heat will take Bledsoe for Goran in the offseason, :lol:

j/k

Archie is constantly putting up ridiculous point totals for the amount of minutes he plays. 10 points in 13 minutes tonight. Play him more! Have a 3 guard rotation of Bledsoe-Knight-Goodwin

saintEscaton · Post #360 » by **saintEscaton** » Tue Feb 24, 2015 4:27 am

Bled still needs to prove that he can be an effective gamechanger, beyond just a stat filler who is one heck of a physical specimen. But hopefully he figures things out the remainder of the season and is up to the task of leading this team, with Knight as friendly competition to keep up his intensity
