Thread: 5th December - New Orleans Pelicans VS Phoenix Suns - 6-15

    Honestly.. at this point we win either way. I just want to see better basketball. I want to see our young guns get minutes. I don’t want to see Etwann freakin Moore logging 30. There isn’t a point with his contract running out.

    I hope so. Favors and Zion. We just need that presence in the middle. Sure if that paint and our defense wouldn't be that bad.
    Good positive energy.

    But also, yo mama's fat.

    Gentry always goes on a run, and then he goes on a long losing streak. That is the kind of consistency our style of basketball provides. It all comes down to whether we hit our impossible shots or not

    Totally agree. If we're going to lose 50 games, fine, that happens with young rebuilding teams. Don't particularly like it, but it's perfectly reasonable to expect a season or two like this at the start of a huge franchise-altering shift in eras.

    But do it by actually playing the young guys who make up that future. You can't develop NAW on the bench when he's behind Moore, who's 30 and expiring. You can't develop Hayes as effectively as you would want if you're giving him barely 20 minutes a night because you feel the need to play Okafor for 25, and you love Melli-at-the-5 lineups.

    You want to lose and, in that process, develop the youth? Fine. But you gotta actually play the youth to do that
    Basketball.

    Gentry's runs usually coincide with the best player on the team deciding to take things seriously for a little bit. We all remember that end-season push to get into the playoffs a few years back: that wasn't fuelled by Gentry, that was fuelled by AD deciding to actually play basketball with a bit of intensity for once.

    We don't have an AD-like talent right now. When Zion comes back, maybe that changes, but we just don't have anyone like that right now.

    I’m thinking pride should have kicked in a while ago

    They just announced a change to the starting lineup. Looks like it will be: Ball, JJ, Jrue, NAW, Moore.

    One day, you will stand face to face with whatever power saw fit to let you exist in this world, and you will have to answer for these crimes.

    I generally try not to have faith in anything. If something wants me to believe in them, I'll need a little bit of evidence: so far this team has shown me no reason to believe in them.

    I hope you're right, and of course it's always possible they do bounce back here. I just don't hold my breath for it.

    Nice pass out of the short roll from Hayes. Ingram hits the C&S

  18. #43
    Jrue hits a 3 as well. They're hitting the shots, which is something, but I am concerned that both Jrue and Ingram have aborted drives when faced with... Frank Kaminsky?

    What a stupid foul from Ingram.. I hate when he does that ********..

  24. #49
    We're kinda lucky that the Suns have missed some of those wide open shots they've gotten. They're top 10 in FG%, 3pt%, and FT%, so if we give them too many of those they'll get them.

    No matter how many times it happens, I will never understand why we run so much offense through Redick it makes no sense
