I don't know about up and up but they have been a lot better than everyone predicted. I don't think it's sustainable.
Oh DAMN!! they got more wins than the Caw Caw Click!?!
:df:

I haven't heard anyone say that he is doing it on a sorry team yet. ( I hate that argument btw)
It does hold SOME merit though
But not in this case, he’s winning them games and has them exceeding expectations

Ignorance can be remedied. Stupidity is incurable.
That sucks. I liked his energy off the bench. I’d rather just cut Chandler.

True but if you are the best player on a shitty team most likely you will be guarded by the opposing teams best defender or even double-teamed at times. I feel like if you can score then you can score on any team. The key is can you do it with fewer touches. Take a guy like Klay Thompson. He benefits while Steph and KD are on the court. Teams ain't putting their best D guy on Klay. So he gets easy buckets at times. Put Klay on this year's Dubs team and let's see if he can consistently score. I watched teams run doubles at fuckin Tony Wroten when he was heating up. lol
Shump getting cut over guys like Theo Pinson
you hate to see it
you hate to see it
They play in the east though
I'm sorry, was that a perspective pov?
I'm all seriousness, not sure what's gonna take for things to click in Nola. They, imo, should at least be a couple of games near .500.
But I think people are becoming restless because they haven't had to go through a real rebuild here and don't know how to temper expectations.
I'm still cawing though

Been meaning to ask. I don't care enough to research but did Zion hurt his knee on a particular play or was it a wear and tear situation. Yall know how I feel about unnecessary dunking. They had that nigga dunking on concrete for them ugly ass Jordan shoes this summer.
Pinson is the heart and soul of the Nets. His value to the team is beyond basketball
They didn’t go through a real rebuild when they traded Paul and had Austin rivers out there and had teams that consisted of AD, aminu, Vasquez, and Ryno and Gordon?

Inuries and schedule aside the Pelicans defense has been beyond abysmal, Im talking just horrible rotations, no communication, wide open lanes, terrible perimeter defense.........this why I think Alvin Gentry is probably going to get fired, not once in his entire career has he shown evidence that a Gentry led team can field a solid-good defense
Hes had teams show flashes of a being a good defense but its never materialized into anything real or sustainable
According to everything I've read, he just started feeling pain in maybe the 3rd preseason game. As a precaution, they got an MRI and discovered the meniscus situation.
I just think it was going to happen regardless, but I'm glad they are being extremely careful with him
Can't argue with this
Was reading last night JJ blew up in the locker room and Gentry was saying this is the quietest group he's ever coached. He said they are like this even when they eat team dinners.
Not gonna lie, I wouldn't mind a nigga like Matt Barnes on the team to at least light a fire up under them and hold them accountable.
You saw AD trying to do that at the end of last year when they sat him out but it seemed.... Disingenuous, but I don't wanna spend too much time on that
But I agree with everything you said
Can't be scoring 115 pts a game giving up 123
Ahhh gotcha
Btw I hope we retire “it’s bigger than basketball” in 2020
like why can it just be basketball for once? Lol

I know they gotta keep the fans invested in the season but they really should come out and say an exact date or shut him down. Philly played this game with Embiid and they were almost ready to start turning against him.
