    Can we just trade JJ. Useless

  3. #53
    JJ is useless if his shot isn’t falling.

    7/13 from three stings hard.

    Our defense usually improves as the game goes on but it never matters because everyone gets their chance to find their range early when we can't be bothered.

    At this point, how can any team facing us not justify shooting 50 3s a game.

    How bad are we defensively?

    Detroit came into tonight's game...

    ...29th in FG %
    ...26th in 3 PT %
    ...24th in Scoring
    ...26th in Rebounding.

    Oh, and this is the second of a back to back for them.

    There's got to be a point where the team can't lie to themselves about this anymore, right? Like, a point where they just have to accept that it's not good enough.

    It's not like we start a bunch of 38 year old 6'0 guys with negative wingspans who can't move. We don't have the roster to be an elite defense but there's no justification for it being this bad.

    Well, Thank you Detroit. You guys stop spamming threes.

    Kira might end up being JAXSON 2.0 (the economy size)

    Why is JJ still on floor. No defense and has hit a shot yet.

  13. #63
    Why is JJ still in the rotation? What is wrong with Stan?

    JJ is responsible for yet another terrible performance. He’s the new Alvin. He absolutely can’t do anything but cause Ls.

    It's so strange because when he's playing within himself (as he occasionally does) he still has an impact on offense even without his shot falling: that's what a reputation gets you, and he's still capable of doing the small things like guard flare screening and such.

    The problem is that he's had a weird proportion of games this year, far more than usual, where he's just taking really inappropriate shots at weird times, and it has the impact of not only cratering our offense, but also leading to defensive mismatches in transition. It's so painful.

    You can't even use the excuse that you're show-casing him for a trade because he's not showing anything anyone would want right now.

    he keeps wishing.... he keeps hoping.....
    "we might make dollars, but we don't necessarily make sense"

    "always be sincere....whether you mean it or not"

    If we won that coin flip against the kings we could have gotten Haliburton...that kid would have been a great fit with the team

    Griff needs to accept that JJ is done in NO and sit him out until he can figure out what to do with him. If you ultimately have to buy him out, buy him out. I seriously don't know how much more of this I can take.

    SVG was correct when he said the majority of this team is mentally soft.

    Well, Piston's only went 2-8 in the second quarter from 3, after going 7/13 in the first, so that's some small relief.

    We're lucky to have it within single digits at halftime. Need to be better in the third and fourth: try and find even 50% of the energy we had last game.

    69 Points to the Pistons.

    Yeah, let's bring in a defensive juggernaut like Bradley Beal. That will fix it.
