Incoming Prok comments about how Aldridge is a bench warmer and Nash should have been fired yesterday. Brace yourselves!

That was COLD.

He had plenty of warnings. He can sit until the situation calls for him to play.

After the Harden trade I thought embracing small ball was where they'd end up going, but there is now just so much flexibility in lineups without sacrificing shooting and spacing.

Things that I’ve heard from a particular poster, followed by the reality:

-Blake is a corpse, terrible defensively, will barely contribute...has been very good on both ends of the court and has added additional versatility to our lineups

-Aldridge is a corpse, makes Blake look like Wilt, one of the worst defensive players in the league, shouldn’t play except for blowouts...posts a near double double in his first game with us, and had a serious defensive impact for us, helping us hold the opponent to 11 points in the 1st quarter

-DJ is still a really good role player, way better than Griffin or Aldridge, should definitely get more minutes than at least Aldridge...DNP today and we didn’t miss a beat, and Aldridge had a better game than like 90% of DJ’s games this year

-Nash is an awful coach that can’t coach a kindergarten team who is directly responsible for bad things that happen, and even when we do well, it’s in spite of him, easily the worst coach in the league...well:

Imagine being so aggressively wrong about things. It’s fine being wrong, but the aggressive certainty and over the top rhetoric makes this especially funny lol.

Come on guys let's not pile on Prok even though he was also wrong about Claxton :lol:

Good to get a blow out wire to wire W again. And on a 2nd half of a back to back. And Kyrie's shot was off.

LMA looked great but I don't want to jump the gun. When the team is healthy, those post up should go out the window. He'll need to focus on passing and spacing the floor.


BTW i said it when we traded for Harden but we just keep loading up. I'm not saying we're winning a chip but this is the most skilled team of all time. No doubt in my mind. 3 superstars, one of the best shooters ever, Shamet and Aldridge coming off the bench. Our shooting is just insane.

If he gets a mismatch on the block I absolutely think he should take advantage. A guard isn't stopping him 3 feet from the rim

I wonder if LMA was promised the starting gig and why he signed.

Agreed.

I'm with posters having different opinions, but so annoying when someone acts like they are 100% right and anyone is an idiot for thinking otherwise.

I seriously doubt they would promise that.

It was obvious DJ was awful last game and he probably looked good in practice.
