By blackace Go To PostThe concern has to be that the GM and coach hasn't found a better optionI know this will get written off as Gentry bias. But it's hard to put much on the coach when he doesn't have a stable roster.
The GM should be looking at these guys though and shipping them all out, and the coach should be transitioning to a different offense other than pace and space.
I know that the Pels have had health problems forever, but do you think Hill is open always because Gentry's system puts him open or teams have scouted the Pels and would rather have Hill shoot than the ball go to AD and now DMC?
By blackace Go To PostI know that the Pels have had health problems forever, but do you think Hill is open always because Gentry's system puts him open or teams have scouted the Pels and would rather have Hill shoot than the ball go to AD and now DMC?A bit of both. It isn't just Hill that's getting open shots; it's every non-star. And, hell, even the stars are getting open shots not infrequently. Difference is that AD and Cousins are making their shots and everyone else (except Moore) is missing theirs.
My concern with Trey Lyles pre-draft was "well, he does a lot of things, but what does he do well?"
And then he shot 38% from three in his rookie year and it was like "okay, that's what he does well, we're good."
He's shooting 32% from three this year.
And now we're back to the pre-draft thing of him having like 10 below average skills and no average or above average skills that are usable as of now.
:/
Hopefully he shoots better next year.

By IWMTB19 Go To PostThat's what happens when you buy into a small sample size in a contract year.
That's Andre Roberson's music…
Should of just kept James Ennis at a fraction of the price TBH.

Both?
By blackace Go To PostIf it is both then Gentry needs to adjust so that better shooters get them open shots.Well we just signed another pile of D-leaguers, hopefully we can find one.
By blackace Go To PostIf it is both then Gentry needs to adjust so that better shooters get them open shots.What better shooters?
That's the point.
Then you have a roster problem.. But really these players are the players they brought in.. I don't know how much feedback Gentry had in shaping the roster but I doubt it was zero.. Plus there are a few shooters who are shooting better than Hill... make sure they get the ball and Hill should be a shot clock is dying option..
Kind of surprised the stands are still so empty in New Orleans. I know it's football country, and I know the team's not winning, but I thought people would be more curious about seeing Cousins/Davis.
Cousins shutting down Joseph on the perimeter. WTF just happened?
Some Canadian girl must have shot down Cousins so hard in high school, and he's been taking it out on the Raptors ever since.

I didn't even go to the game tonight so I could be with my mom so she could design the birthday gift I was getting her.
Raul Neto is a 6'3" PG with no athleticism.
He has two blocks in the first seven minutes tonight :D
Up by 8, nice.

By DY_nasty Go To PostNeed Miami to blow us out and get us back on trackit would be awesome if Miami went over .500.
By pilonv1 Go To PostWithey playing wellno he isnt :/
JV's playing amazing on offence, but Cousins looks like he's in the matrix when he has the ball against him.
the NBA really needs to do something about this "throw trash at the hoop from 28 feet for free throws" stuff.
Man, New Orleans' defence is no joke. If they ever get some shooters they're going to do some damage.
By livefromkyoto Go To PostMan, New Orleans' defence is no joke. If they ever get some shooters they're going to do some damage.Yeah, they've been solid on that end all year and have just been improving as the season goes on. There are some issues with guys not boxing out so they can leak out in transition, still too many instances of miscommunication, and a couple ball watchers leading to back door cuts. It's been a huge turnaround compared to last season.
We are giving up a lot of free throws right now.....
But we're making all of our threes which is making up for it pretty easily.
Bit worried about the second half.

By diehard Go To PostI aint even gonna lie, Harden/Refs got me tilted.
This is why the world needs Kawhi as MVP. I don't want to watch a league full of guys Harden-ing it up. There's enough of that already.

Has Cousins always been this all-world defender, or is that a new thing? He's forced DeRozan to give up the ball twice now, one of which led to a clock violation.
JV totally carrying the team right now.

Harden just set the record for most total turnovers in a season with a fourth of the season left, lol.
(Wilt or someone else in the 1960s would likely have this record if turnovers were recorded and the rules for a turnover were similar back then)

Our point guard had him in isolation on the perimeter. Cousins snuffed him twice then made him lose his dribble. He's looking pretty good out there.

A local beatwriter is arguing with me on Twitter that LeBron is MVP over Harden because the Cavs are 0-5 without LeBron... Compared to 0-0 for the Rockets without Harden.
In two of those games where LeBron rested, the whole team rested.
....................................................
So, those 3 games show that LeBron is the MVP I guess...

JV got teched for...I don't even know what. That thing centers do before every single NBA inbound where they stand next to each other and push each other a little.
45-46 at the half. Come back Lowry, this is like watching a Jazz game.
Send a d-mail to his mom's pager so he can be born a girl like he always wanted.
