Can we draft an asian to revitalize this board

Wang Zhi Zhi is probably available somewhere.

Probably my favorite Asian baller of all time. Him and the little Japanese PG that tried to make a team like 10 years ago or so, Yuta Tabuse.

You cannot win in todays NBA with a starting SF who cant stretch the floor. Hell, its arguable and probably true you cant win without a legit stretch 4, let alone a 3. We played great last year with Lee and Batum together. I know the front office and coaches and us fans love MKG, but if he cant start hitting a catch and shoot jumper let alone a 3 get rid of him.

Frustrating loss. Were not a good team, were an average team who literally needs to lose out and pray to God we land a top 4 pick

MKG has been hot on those little jumpers lately. You could make an argument he just doesn't shoot enough of them though.

Cliff had a lot to say after the game tonight. I just wonder if his message is starting to have less of an impact after 4 years.

The sequence at the end of regulation was telling in my opinion. Cliff was jumping up and down wanting a timeout (which was not smart to allow the Pelicans to set their defense and set Davis up in the paint in the first place), Kemba may not have seen Cliff but there is no way all four of our other guys didn't notice the fat bald headed guy jumping up and down signaling for a timeout. There was another time where Cliff drew something up in the huddle and Kemba wanted to run something different. I didn't think as much of that because I'm sure that happens a lot with star players in particular.

Yeah that TO was a dumb move on Cliff's part, he must have had his mind made up that he'd call TO no matter what, but we had a waaaaaay better opportunity with Kemba going downhill against a scrambling defense than the non-look that we eventually ended up with.

I think in that situation it's obvious you let things play out, don't let the other guys set up their defense. Kemba was right to ignore the coach in that situation, if that's what he did, it's just unfortunate the refs saw it and called it.

I'm actually more confident in him making his pet jumpers than Marco doing his "make the shot as difficult as possible" routine.

Least surprising stat of the night, Roberts posted a -67.9 net rating last night. 84.9 on offense, 152.8 on defense.

Happens once, just random noise. Happens 3 out of every 4 games, perhaps it's time to make a change and see what happens.

That's horrifying.

haha, why not just unlock the "Jeremy Lin thread"... to see if it will revitalize the board, more importantly the Hornets

Zhizhi retired from BB, a legend in CBA and Chinese Nation Team, whose NBA dream has never fulfilled ...he was a very skillful big man, by the way, you have another Zhizhi in the team already... As a player, "Tank" reminds me the most about Zhizhi
