  1. 1, 2, 3, 4, I declare a thumb War!!!
  2. Legend.... Rest in Peace!
  3. This is rich poetry right here.... " KAT got Bitch in his game. Not a bad bitch like Jonquel Jones or Candance Parker. But a sorry bitch... I'd rather keep JC. " Just wanted to make it clear that the reference was to basketball players on the court... not off.
  4. NY just made themselves weaker. Teams in the East are like:
  5. Dyson will be a defensive SG... who can shoot but is not a great shooter. Just like the Spurs had to protect Tony Parker with defensive players, we have the same thing with Trae Young. People are far too focused on DD's offense... The more important thing is the defense. IF we have Jalen, OO, and Bogi.. we will score points. A Trae Young led offense has never been bad at scoring. The wildcard is Risacher. If Risacher can come in as a contributor, then we will roll a lot of teams. But like Gray Said... Time will tell.
  6. Quin: Where did he learn that form? Kyle: He told me he works out with Jack Sikma!
  7. Quin (off Camera) : Simon says lift your left Leg!
  8. Praying for you and your family.
  9. I wouldn't call Capela useless. He still knows defensive spacing and can read offenses. Something that OO really sucks at. I would start Sarr off as a PF and Move JJ to the SF. Run it big for a bit. Sarr is not that small, he's 7'1 224. That's about the size of Tyson Chandler coming into the league. Chet only weights 195 and he has been physical.
  10. Knowing the the draft is rigged.. and usually the NBA uses it to make up for major moves... Trae may be on the move.
  11. OO is undersized and overpaid for what he would be with us. With us, regardless of how you look at it, he would be a BU C. We will bring in a real sized Center. Clint may not be here either but Clint doesn't have as many deficiencies as OO does. I would use OO to help us with our Forward help. If N.O. is still interested, there are some deals that can be worked out.
  12. I don't disagree about the Nate offense... but the Nate offense was predictable and defendable. It was more suited for the playoffs but it wasn't a challenge for playoff teams. Uptempo is what we should be headed towards and some of our personnel will have to change. There are two identities that we can seek: 1. Half court team. It requires better shooters and rebounders around Trae. 2. Uptempo team. It requires better athletes and better defenders. In each instance, our Frontcourt has to become better. More physical and bigger. The question is can we find shooters to be the halfcourt team. Well, you can trade Dj for Delo... and be halfway there. However, I don't see that making us better. Moreover, a guy like JJ will die trying to find his place with the ball. I can easily see us moving forward with JJ and Vit and some bigs who can run and defend and us being a whole lot better and less predictable.
