Lee is such a streaky shooter. On one game off the next.

especially with the cap going up, and bigs being paid what they get paid... Hernangomez is already impressing as a rookie.. imagine a year or two under his belt..

And we'll still be paying him >~2m

I don't mind him, he's not AA where he's killing the team/ball movement. He continues to play good defense and continues to move the ball, and cut and find the open guy.

He's just a good all around player even when his shots ain't falling.

His shooting has been ass and his defense was awful tonight. Got torched by Bellineli and he keeps throwing up bricks. He gets so many open looks and momentum changing shots that he just keeps bricking. We need this guy to hit those shots when we look to take the life out of the other team but his bricks usually do the opposite and bring life back to the other team.

He actually makes really good team plays and passes the ball effectively, even when his shots not falling...

ultimate glue guy, I'm all in on Lee

Think Lee also benefits from smaller lineups because he feels more of like a small-ball forward than a guard.

It was fantastic to see both coaches refuse to call a timeout late in the 4th qtr.

I made a post about it earlier in the Around the NBA thread. I essentially said how I hate seeing so many timeouts late in a close game. Its a damn stoppage every few seconds, not to mention the replays which is another timeout.

That flow to end the 4th qtr was great to see as just as a fan of the game. Both teams throwing haymakers, neither coaches were panicking or calling timeout and had confidence their teams could execute.

Please NBA, cut down on the timeout each teams receive at the end of a game. It was exhilarating to see and my heart was pumping.

So does Sasha Vujacic but we need more from our starting SG

I like Lee just saying he needs to get it together

Someone gotta make a Melo game-winner thread on the GB. Those are usually allowed, but I bet it gets merged/deleted. :lol:

Kuz didn't hit that big 3, very close, and Batum went off on him and everyone. Still he is in the right spots and did little things.

He kinda deserves it right now. He doesn't fit the team and really hurts our offense.

I wanted him to do well, coming home and all but I just don't like how its looking right now.

His early hustle sure as hell did fit the team and atleast for tonight outweighed his lack of offense. Not bad for a guy coming off the Flu.

I can't say no NY pizza ever

My uncle, who grew up in Manhattan but lives in Texas now, came through for thanksgiving. I always get him pizza and Chinese food. Unfortunately nothing was open last night anywhere. I called places 15,20 miles out. Nothing.

I did take him to Adrienne's down on Stone St the day before though. His family loves it.

It sounded like he did invite himself and wasn't going to bring anything over

But it's fine. I think the guys are now used to his quirks and love him for them.

The GB went from making threads like "bigger surprise, Knicks win a round or GSW doesn't win a championship" to destroying us in opening night to absolute silence on the Knicks now.
