I don't know, Fournier still takes some terrible shots. God bless him he finally passed the ball on a fast break though. He's good at what he does though at least offensively im happy with him lately.

This is the most inconsistent, unreasonable, illogical, frustrating board on RGM by far.

Realistic posters don't let inconsistent wins against terrible teams cloud reality.

The Hawks are a terrible team? OKC is a terrible team? San Antonio is a terrible team?

I'm not saying we are great, even good--we're not. We aren't even AT .500, but it's just "smh" worthy to see a game thread where everyone gets all excited because say Elfrid is playing well,scoring career highs, assists in double digits, then within minutes once the high of the win subsides, we want to trade him?

Haha realistic indeed. More like impossible to please.

The Hawks aren't good either. I'll give you OKC and San Antonio (were they at full roster? I don't remember). But again- inconsistency. You can't beat the Spurs in San Antonio and then lose the Memphis bench. Get absolutely demolished by the hornets and then crush the Hawks.

Realistic indeed? Yeah, when we don't play an amazing game where we are shooting 60% and our Pg has a career high (while also giving up 120) we lose. Do it for three games straight and maybe...

That's impossible huh?

That's kind of the NBA though isn't it? You beat the Spurs one night while you've just recently lost 4 straight and then get crushed by a Grizzlies team that, on paper, shouldn't be beating anyone--then they go and win again in Golden State and most recently, Cleveland.

Like I said before, we aren't a good team yet; the reasons for that are all over the map. I just don't see how we go from watching our young talent developing and starting to play well, leading us to a win or two, and then almost immediately after, the consensus is that we should trade that player/those players because we took a loss to a team we maybe could have beaten.

We aren't in the position as a team right now where W/L is all that matters. We all want to make the playoffs this year, and maybe still could, but what sense does it make to tear our young guys apart and ship them out because they don't play like seasoned all stars night in and night out yet?
