KP made Frank the Tank his bitch in the 4th and OT. Forget whether it was mike or Clyde who said it but he was scared of Zinger.

Melon with a beast mode vintage game. Looked unstoppable and zoned in on D as well.

Swatting **** all over the place.

But he just has no place on this team, our backup bigs are a better fit next to KP and KP can play center as well.

Noah kills the spacing and hurts the team tremendously, AND hurts KP cause KP gets a ton of fouls trying to guard tweener SF/PF at the 4.

He needs to be traded to a desperate team or something, not sure.


He's still recovering from a flu. His conditioning is still way off and you can see it. Keep in mind he really didn't play much the previous season either. It's gonna take a while for him to acclimate.

I'd hold off judgment until at least post all star break. God, I wish he'd change his shot though.

Rose, Jennings and Noah need to be locked in a gym with Horny until he forces them to change their forms.

:lol: It's been so long since we have had a team with several great players that all we know how to do is argue about which one is the best.

Just embrace the fact we have several great cogs working in harmony to get us those wins.

Oh and "Promote" Noah to a player development role and trade Lance.

When Noah is out there with KP and Melo, it looks like there's a forest of trees in the paint and in the mid-range area.

On defense, he wasn't even running back in transition, he wasn't challenging anyone in the paint, he was fouling guys left and right. He doesn't look anything like he was in his prime. He moves like he's 40 years old.

Rose is turning into the expert of dumbass plays, then redeeming himself with clutchness at the end.


My stream was slow as hell and I was still cussing him out while everyone else was posting about his clutch shot :lol:

He's a good defender but can't do sh*t with Melo. It's in his best interest to join us.

Anthony with the HUGE game on all fronts. Rose hit key shots, but I didn't like his ball distribution. KP rushed too many shots, and didn't bring his A game - but still came through in the clutch.

Too many stupid fouls out there - but luckily Charlotte couldn't convert enough of their FTs.

This game is why you need multiple elite players. If one guy isn't on that night, the other guy picks him up. That's why this is a team game.

If someone could only teach Jennings how to shoot.

Know some say don't play Noah... but he actually plays well against the top tier bigs( Drummond, Jordan, Gasol, Howard etc..).in the league... his defense and 6 fouls are still useful

With all of Noah's shortcomings, he really kept us in this early on when we weren't hitting anything. I'm thankful.
