People bash Dell about singing Gordon to that contract and some is fair. Dell could not have predicted the injuries and no one could have but the player he signed at the time was worth the $ he was paid if healthy. Gordon would be a perennial top 5 SG with a little health on his side. I understand people saying he wasn't the right fit but in that case we sign him and use him as a trade chip. We weren't fortunate enough to see either of them with him playing or being used in another deal for a team in desperate need of a shooting guard. At the time I don't see how Dell had any choice but to bring back Gordon with ownership at the time and would have looked like a fool for getting Aminu and Rivers out of the deal for CP3.
I just think if Gordon even has half the luck he had we would have been seeing this player all along. I'm not over reacting over 1 game but you could see this entire season with his 3pt% and the rest of his game looking very good. No telling how good he could have been minus getting injured and continuous set backs. In today's market at that age and no injuries he is getting paid a lot of $. No telling what Dell could have swung him for and just maybe his play this season and playoffs makes him somewhat valuable to someone else. If he plays out his contract here I wouldn't mind signing him at the right price haha.
Don't understand why Ryno wasn't used at all in the 2nd half. Asik played well but makes us have to work so hard for every bucket. He kills spacing for Davis. Cunningham helps a little but just wish he was more of a threat from the 3. Anderson would have been a better fit on the court for most of the 2nd half with Davis.
If Ryno played any semblance of defense then he would have been on the floor. It's just not about spacing on offense...Ryno is horrendous on defense. It doesn't matter who he is guarding. He is flat out awful. The worst NBA defender I have ever seen... He doesn't understand the help defense concept at all. He is rarely able to guard his man one on one. He doesn't defensive rebound. Any benefits you get from Ryno spacing on offense you are going to lose 10Xs more with his poor shot selection and defense.
So in other words his bad greatly outweighs his good. I'm a huge Ryno supporter, but he just hasn't been the same since Wallace ran into him.
Dell Demps PLEASE get us some scorers!
Because he is hot garbage on defense. Simple as that.
You can't ask the team to play tough defense and then give a pass to one guy because he can get hot with three's.
Hey Team, i expect everyone to show up to meetings not one minute late. Except you Bob, you make our lives easier once in awhile.
Its so easy to say that, but we won the 3rd with his *** tied to the bench. Monty just needs to understand that he doesnt have the horses to let guys just play through mistakes. In crunch time, youve got 4 possesions max to get right. If your team is not doing what you need after 4 possesions (2 offensive/ 2 defensive) call a damn timeout and get the team into something. Maybe you can take flier on Ryno in that situation because his rep proceeds him, but Monty just doesnt think like that.

Monty didn't manage the 4th quarter that well with his timeouts. AD and Reke were gassed. I had no problems with letting them play the whole 4th, but he should have burned through all of his timeouts in the 4th. You can't take them with you. We had it down to 1 point late in the 4th quarter after the EG three. From that point on he could have managed the game better.

Man I may have to find some tickets to the game and buy a Cavs Jersey to wear and yell at Ryno the whole game. That should work right guys.
Because we were down 6 with 2 min to go with a chance to cut it to 3 if Gordon could of made that 3.
We witnessed a much better effort than game 1 from everybody . Last minutes were a total disaster due to fatigue and maybe excitement of the game , but I liked how we played .
My only concern is warriors easy drives to the rim . Our smaller guys have to match up their opponents speed . And our paint players have to at least contest their shots ...
I'm overall satisfied with our performance this series . This didn't turn out to a scrimmage like gsw said . This series is enjoyed nationwide . Reggie miller talked very high of us regardless the outcome of series...
Can we find someone like Klay Thompson? I'd swear sometimes he doesn't even look when he shoots, and he still hits nothing but net.
Reke should not have played 40 minutes.
So weird that there is so much negativity and so much "We should have done X". They hit tough shots. They are a REALLY good team. They have an amazing home presence. They played well. And yet, we were right there at the end of both games. I thought I'd be coming here to people throwing praise at everyone on our team for competing and executing so well.
