So we're 37-44. Shameful that that gets you a playoff spot.

What's the worst record to ever make the playoffs?

Ish, Ellis, Redick, Dunleavy, and Ersan on that last defensive possession... Any thought Boylan has a clue what he is doing is gone.

lulz just saw the game winner. When I turned it back on I thought it happened as time expired, not with 9 seconds left. Fitting that our win now trade piece has a good look at a 3 for the win and misses.

I just noticed that Paschketball hasn't posted anything about the Bucks since the tenth when he got reamed.

I'm rooting for the Heat to thump the Bucks. If we get thrashed by 20 every game then the writing is on the wall that this team won't work. Nothing would be worse than a semi tough 6 game series for Miami, which would fool Kohl into overpaying and bringing back all 3 of those bums.

So the box score is telling me Jennings thought it was February. Is that about how it looked?

I actually hadn't cared enough to realize we had gone 3-12 in the last 15, that's sadly hilarious lol.

Feer the derrrr.

I'm actually curious as to how Jennings will go in the playoffs.

Do we get "Pouty Jennings", or "I'm auditioning for another team/caring Jennings". I suspect the latter.

Can still GTFO, obviously.

Jennings' shot was terrible. I didn't think he looked disinterested but they would've better served just resting him another game. And his defense is really bad, he can't keep anybody in front of him. Ish Smith did just as well as him. I'm also curious how Jennings performs in the playoffs, he's getting his wish of Miami.

Entertaining game. Monta got hot in the 2nd half and Redick started hitting a bit finally. He did have a fairly clean look at the end. Really going to need this type of performance from both of these guys, and a few others to even remotely be relevant in the playoff series. At least they showed signs of life for the first time in awhile. #ReachingForAnything

If there is one positive of the season, I really like Henson's upside for the reasons that have been mentioned already. I like Ersan (hard worker, can shoot, etc) but if you can move him for assets and free time for Henson, I'd do it. I just don't think they will.

Boylan a really questionable line-up when you needed a stop at the end. I mean the game didn't matter, but still.

5 games to go more than likely.

Thunder Muscle · Post #57 » by **Thunder Muscle** » Tue Apr 16, 2013 12:56 pm

And speaking of Ersan, he turned a miserable start of the season into another pretty good year...at least statiscially.

AussieBuck · Post #58 » by **AussieBuck** » Tue Apr 16, 2013 1:00 pm

Henson shouldn't be getting more than backup minutes at PF. There are reasons to trade Ersan but making room for Henson isn't one of them IMO.

Yeah, 37 wins going in isn't good but it will be the 3rd time since 2008 that someone with 37 wins made the playoffs in the East. So its not that uncommon, and speaks to how the East drops off in talent.

LUKE23 wrote:Henson will have to get his FG% into the 55% range or really improve his FT shooting to have a respectable TS, but there is really a lot to like there. Great hands, great length, good timing on rebounds, good touch inside. Needs to refrain from the jumpers for now and work on his FT shooting. Best move at this point is moving Ilyasova for youth or picks. We could rebuild within two drafts if we play this right. I cannot stomach the thought of spending big money on these guards.

Henson, Sanders, LRMAM, and Udoh ALL need to be within 5 feet of the basket to score. There's hardly room for more than one of them on the court at the same time. Ersan is a key piece at pf, and they'd be better off treating Udoh, Sanders, and Henson all as centers.

Of course if you want to tank, then yeah, go with Sanders/Henson/LRMAM in the starting frontcourt. But even that might be too good. It's hard to tank with a guy like Sanders achoring the defense, no matter how bad the rest of the team is. There will always be worse teams who don't even have a guy like Sanders. So I would suggest trading Sanders as well. I think you could get a great pick, would be able to tank easier, and could groom Henson as the center of the future. I see Sanders and Henson as both above average starting centers, and I don't think it pays to make either of them a backup or a pf.
