WTF??????? that is right in front of the refs face!!!!!!!!!!!

[Taker597]

What is the point of review system if something like that doesn't get an instant review? lol

coaches should get a red flag lmao

[HornetGuru]

How many players in the league can play 3 positions like tyreke? Lebron, Harden, anyone else?

bump.

[Taker597]

This is completely redundant, but Why does everyone one on this team have funky teeth? lol

[speedyG]

No more sympathy minutes for Salmons.. I know its the 76ers but cmon. Babbitt deserves those minutes

[JunkHead]

What are we going to do when Jrue comes back? I'm liking Reke at the point.

Tyreke not long ago agreed to come off the bench for the better of the team. I expect Jrue to come back, and Tyreke to be 6th man taking a more of a Point Forward/Guard position. Say... something like this:

PG: Wolters/Freddette
SG: Evans
SF: Pondexter/Babbitt
PF: anderson
C: Ajinca

Switching out starters whenever possible due to rotation minutes.

this

[PelsFan2313]

man i just just thinking that, 4 options:

1. jrue starts, tyreke off the bench
2. the exact opposite of #1
3. Tyreke's trade value is sky high, we cash in
4. we trade jrue

1 is happening. No question.

rather jimmer than wolters with tyreke, he can spread the floor, nate can't.

Fredette needs to get his shot falling and he can play off ball with Reke running the point

Babbitt doesn't need to play. Nine man rotation should work fine.

[HornetGuru]

agree with u, but if its between salmons and babbitt, its luke easily.

[PelsFan2313]

Agreed. Especially since all Salmons does is stand in the corner and brick 3s. He's just as much of a liability defensively as Babbitt, if not more.

i would say even babbitt is better at D lol, salmons is that bad

[JunkHead]

I agree that'd make more sense, but I put both since Wolters is clearly being worked for his contract. No idea who will eventually get the most minutes. Plus, like the post below you by speedyG (I don't know how to quote 2 people at once), Freddette might be the betetr choice, but he damn sure isn't shooting like we all know he can. Once he can do that, then yeah I'd agree 100%. Until then, a toss-up for me.

[JunkHead]

I'd say Babbit is better also. Babbit isn't good at D. But he isn't terrible. And at least he can shoot some. Good rebounder also.

[speedyG]

Next goal for Demps... Find a sharp shooting SG to play with Tyreke off the bench. Sonny Weems maybe

good point, but i still think regardless if jimmer is hitting or not he still spreads the floor better than nate, i don't care if jimmer goes 0/100 for 3, I'm not leaving him open lol.

agree, he does a pretty decent job at contesting.

Ray allen still available lol

[Inner_GI]

Anyone thinking Tyreke is now our backup PG, and finishing SF?

I like the sound of a Tyreke, insert new guy(I believe dell is still looking), Q-Pon, Anderson, Ajinca bench

[JunkHead]

Good point. Ok so in that scenario, Jimmer gets the call. You got... Wolters, Withey, and Salmons left over. That's it right? Do you keep all 3 and just let them play 3rd string/garbage time? Or do you try to trade any for a craptastic pick? Or do you keep them all "just in case"?

[jprdbulldog20]

I must be seeing things. There's no way Gordon would actually throw a lob to Asik.

[kdalw1]

Since when did eric gordon become an efficient basketball player. I cant believe what im seeing from this guy post injury.
