Premium Member JayBirdHawk Posted February 14 Author Premium Member Report Share Posted February 14 Sounds kinda similar to our team building effort except the Allstar caliber players they've added vs what we've not added AND subtracted. “We wanted to get more athletic,” Harrison says. “We wanted to get longer. And we wanted to get better defensively.” 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What could the Warriors have been offering i wonder. Sometimes it's just about a good faith effort. When @Vol4ever started his trade thread in November....months later I asked him why that trade (Siakam) didn't initially happen? Said Ressler was unwilling to pay Siakam this offseason. So why would Siakam want to come? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple folks here would've had an absolute field day with that. As it is .... crickets. NOBODY WANTS TO TALK ABOUT A GUY LITERALLY VEOTING A MOVE TO PLAY WITH LUKA? *crickets* Well crickets until the guy in the team theyre a fan(sic) of has a bad night. 41 minutes ago, JayBirdHawk said: Meanwhile.... Other teams playing 3D chess and checkers while the Hawks ownership and front office are playing 'Go Fish' Isola talked about this today. Basically were talking up the possibilities, how great it would be, etc. Then, after a commercial break, changed his tune. Said he got a call from 'someone in the know'*** who told him this was never going to happen because of lebrons opt-out. That said, your point is salient. Other folks are tryin' while we cryin'.. *** Remember Isola is a Klutch client iirc. Gotta tow that company line. He went on to say Draymond was pushing for this. Was pretty funny to hear him change up mid-show. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly though it could be (probably isn't but maybe) more about the hit to his stats which becomes a hit to his wallet. It is interesting how positive most folks are about Luka in general when he's a massive whiner to refs, sore loser, bad defender, has gotten ejected from games, racks up Ts, has drove away a guy considered one of the best coaches, drove Brunson and Porzingis out of town. He's an amazing talent. He needs to work to not end up with Harden's career though. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the townspeople see the dude nekked but refuse to acknowledge it. Great player but has the exact ..... same warts people chide Trae for. Exact same. Yet people just go with it. Make it make sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member JeffS17 Posted February 16 Premium Member Report Share Posted February 16 https://streamable.com/38cn97 This play kind of epitomizes Collins. Great hustle, good board, kinda surprised he didn't turn it over, then cannot make a pass to save his life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but i mean look at what those perimeter guys are giving him. they are down by 1 point. one of them should have cut to give him an easier, quicker pass and better shot than a desperation three that would have been hard to get off for anyone but Bogi. They just stood there with their hands up watching him be quadruple teamed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess somebody coulda cut but that don't excuse him firing a 450mph fastball into the 37th row in tha clutch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure it was a bad pass but it's spreading around like some kind of shaqtin the fool/thanasis play. very unlikely it mattered and it was all around bad playing. It being JC has nothing to do with it other than that's the only reason it's posted here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators AHF Posted February 16 Moderators Report Share Posted February 16 JC being a bad passer is all the more reason for guys to make it easy on him and come to the ball. If you leave JC hanging out there and rely on him to make passes when he is surrounded by three or more players who are trying to deny him passing lanes and strip the ball from him, then you are banking on a strategy that will get you a lot of ugly turnovers. Kind of feel this was a predictable outcome like asking CC to shoot a 3 as the shot clock expires instead of stepping to him to let him give up the ball to a better shooter.

They will finish the season with more All-Stars than wins but that is normal and good, right? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
