  1. What I learned in the first half. cam Johnson doesn’t care about winning
  2. Will need to see more how he fits, but initial take … 4/~64-72. Quality 6th or very high end 7th man money, but not hunter $. Kevin huerter type $$$. he’s also not someone I’d go into the LT for … so he may be getting traded or we lose for nothing.
  3. I don’t think I have much to add other than what’s already been said. it’s a no for me. It would giving up even more size. plus Beys skill set is best served coming off the bench. JC in the starting lineup has actually been very effective. Having bey come in as a gunner off the bench is exactly the piece our bench needed to become a (hopeful) non weak link.
  4. Am I wrong for wanting Prunty to coach the next game in those oversized bright red bball shorts?
  5. Offense looks completely different. Slow. Not pushing it … cmon guys.
  6. I voted Hunter as well. Hoping he can expand/improve his game similar to Hayward in Utah.
  7. I had this discussion recently with someone about coach killer. And my question will always come back to … where are the coaches now? If they were so talented, they have to be head coaches somewhere, right? 1) Lloyd had issues. He may get there, but he wasn’t there yet which is why he’s been an assistant the last 2 years. 2) game passed Nate up I’d bet with confidence he will never be a head coach (in the NBA) again It’s not like we ran off a coach that immediately got a job in Indiana because he is actually recognized as a fantastic coach.
  8. So can Ime come on as an AHC to help with defense and get his career back on track? i was hesitant on Quinn, but I’ve come around to - if he is the guy - this could be a really great hire.
  9. His second tweet isn’t wrong though. So does he get points for that? Maybe if “old school” wasn’t losing as much as Nate was - he wouldn’t have been fired?
  10. interesting timing on some of these stats coming out i need to stop sharing my homework
  11. Pretty sure I made a post about this in that they are competitive even with the primary rotations on contending teams. This doesn’t surprise me. Our bench play + late game play is the culprit imo. Partially our talent level and partially coaching, imo. @NBASupes brought up the point of the performance seems to fall off in the 4th relative to the first part of the game. So while the overall looks great - def is some volatility by quarter … with the worst seeming to read it’s ugly head in crunch time. BUT with a starting unit performing that well. We have no reason to be hovering .500.
  12. All part of the softness of this team. Nobody should be above it.
  13. That’s kind of the point. Someone needs to come in and set the tone. Too much softness … we get pushed around too much.
  14. Pat Beverly. I can’t think of anyone else coming close. I’d pay to watch our practices.
  15. I don’t see that as a problem. Part of being a great coach is identifying and putting together a top notch coaching staff. Not nepotism hires.
  16. Transition defense is an absolute f***ing joke. Ball watching. Whining to the refs. Hands on hips. Marks of a team that plays hard, for sure.
  17. This team has so many warts when we aren’t on fire from 3. we need to restructure the team … everyone not named Trae and AJ can go in the off-season. Coaches included. Sigh.

    Defense

    Bogi has to go in the off-season. Every time he is on the court our defense goes to hell. His offense is too hit or miss to continue to get the minutes he gets. Statistically speaking - he’s a huge hole in our rotation. Trae needs to keep putting effort in 100% of the time. He is having arguably his best defensive season yet. Just need to see consistency from play to play. Less complaining and more back checking, please.
  19. Bad offense goes hand in hand with this. We are bricking tons of jumpers and they are getting out and running. It’s not even that we are doing anything crazy pace wise. we need a better functioning offense when trae is on the bench.
  20. Bogi is destroying our 2nd unit today. His offense has been terrible to go along with the usual bad D. I haven’t checked, but his +\- has to be terrible so far
  21. The trae - dj - bogi pairing rarely works. Stop it Nate. Let AJ (move Dre to the 4) or JJ get more time if anything
  22. He’s not nearly strong enough to be a full time 4. He seems to be better running at the 3 than the 4. I guess depending on matchup he’s big enough to guard small 4s, but that’s it. JC has nothing to worry about. but I am high on the addition nonetheless. Can’t wait to see him play tonight.
  23. Wonderful game Trae. Always good to play like that for Pop. Show him what an Olympian should look like.
