    If SVG says that about Kira then why is he sitting him all game. Nobody wants Lonzo so why are we trying to showcase him.

    kira should start

    I honestly think SVG is still evaluating this roster. Trying to see who can play with each other. I’m willing to give it time till at least the all star break.

    Well sure, this team is not supposed to be a great team this year. Obviously it would be nice if we were, but we're still retooling. There are long term answers that we need to find, and tons of moves left to be made. Nobody should be knee-jerk reacting with calls for people's jobs yet, imo.

    But it still sucks to watch
    Basketball.

    Team is just not deep enough. When we go to our bench all hell breaks loose. Every game this year this has been the issue.

    Kira deserves way, way more run. I need to see him in a lineup featuring Zion and Ingram.

    I hope Zion doesn’t walk after his rookie contract is over.

    It’s just we have to keep doing this every couple years and then give every coach that redshirt year. The next season the team gets the injury situation, all while masking the flaws that existed the previous year. Then make a trade and get fans excited, which leads to a little hope only to still miss the playoffs. Which, leads to us remaining optimistic for the next year. But, they still suck and we will have another PR thread to fire Wario cause he can’t coach offense. When we wanted to fire Gentry cause he couldn’t coach defense.

    Both Lauri Markkanen and Lonzo Ball are RFA's at the end of the year. Let's swap, so that Chicago and New Orleans can test drive each. Then the Pelicans can give the ball to Kira.

    just because he makes a couple of good rebounds he is playing "better" thats what he is supposed to do its his job.. he is consistently screwing up on defense and looks goofy and out of place on the court.

    Ingram is now shooting 28.1% from 3 over the last 7 games, for a total of 9/32. Not great.
    Zion's now shooting 59.0% from the field, with a total of 114/193 FG/FGA

  17. #217
    Now, I know this is a very cherrypicky stat. Don't come at me with that, I know. Just enjoy the trivia.

    Over this last 6 games, Zion is averaging 18.3 two pointers per game, and he's shooting 63% on them.

    Here are the guys since 1985 to put up numbers equal to that for any given season: 93-94 Shaq, '95 David Robinson, '97 Karl Malone.

    That's it.

    I would be all over this trade. Bulls only make it if they start losing faith in Coby which is starting to happen. Maybe they can use the depth but comparing White and Ball, it's kind of a lateral move on paper but with White he can actually beat his man off the dribble. Both are not good shooters

    Oh please. You're dismissive, but if he were doing that badly, you'd hold it against him. It's more than a "couple good rebounds." It's a marked improvement. There's nothing wrong with acknowledging it. Anthony Davis looked goofy for a long freaking time until he filled out his body and was in his early-mid 20s too. Players with that athletic profile are often quite goofy early on.

    Only time will tell if he grows out of it. So far, these last few games, he's done better.

    I'd do it too. I'm far from Lauri's biggest fan but hey, can't hurt!

  22. #222
    Somebody else said it earlier and I agree: Bledsoe doesn't want to be here.

    If he was 2nd Team All Defensive Teamer last year, the league is awfully weak defensively. He was lit up by Fox on Sunday Night, and by Mitchel tonight.

    In a way, I think we spilled our momentum with the lineup change.
    We likely would have still lost, but I think we would have saw a different type of ball game.

    BI came out the season gate hungry. I need him to keep the focus.
    He actually needs to force himself in facilitating for Zion more. Until he truly sees what he has as leverage on that end with him... it feels like he?s still missing the point of the game. More drive and inside dishes, alleys, etc. But hes still so young, he?ll see it eventually I know it.

    Duncan Robinson is a RFA too, but I guess that's hoping for a little too much.
