I think everyone basically thinks it was a function of him being double- and triple-teams and that he projects to be a good shooter. Question is whether the rest of his game will catch up.


I think his shooting was a product of shot selection and he shot it even when double teamed. He just had to shoot shots that are open.

Meh, the Up With People crowd got pumped full of manjuice tonight.


You could take it down a notch and nobody would mind, CC.


All good. There were a lot of people who had stuff to say, and you even chimed in too.

I think we can all see the truth now, and hopefully we can move on from here.

Butt hurt that we have the best GM in the league and that he knows talent more than some schlubs on realgm? lol


No, you just don't get it. The best GM's in the league are the ones who have a team that has never made the playoffs. It's not how many championships you win. It's how good you are at being bad.

Just caught up. Is Hunter at least average defensively or is he James Young II basically?

Danny really putting on quite the show tonight...........really working his magic. Putting on a clinic. This is how championship teams are built folks. You go all out for the #8 seed so you can getyour ass kicked just to show agents that you mean business. Forgo a lottery pick? Who needs that? We are stockpiling guards people! Who needsa rim protectors anyway? Wow. I'm in awe ofAinge. This guy is a master at his craft.

I did chime in. I never said anything about pumping anyone full of manjuice. It's a disappointing start to the off-season, I get that.

Harrell/Johnson/Upshaw/Mickey 2 of these 4 would be nice.

I'm not 100% sure but he was heralded as a 3&D type player and he sure as hell has the length to defend with a 6'11 wingspan.

Lol dude, what is the point in this.

We are where we are. Tank or no tank, the only way forward is to just work with what we have.

I trust DA to figure it out

Has Fran ever said he didn't like a Euro guy?

Oh, Anthony Brown is available. I like that guy too. But we totes don't need another wing.

Credo Osman might end up a nice steal in a few years
