Rematch of the game that catapulted the team to winning 4 out of 5. Shouldn't be easy this time around.

Also Jimmy Butler is mad that Brian Roberts took a shot as the clock was winding down in that game, so that's whatever...

Looking forward to seeing the rotations again, particularly that second unit.

Have to rebound much better than we have this season. That's not sustainable for 82 games.

Not expecting a victory but would be nice with Portland here Sunday.

Eric Collins just doesnt know when to shut up.

"Theres the actor michael jordan, and no matter what he does, he will always be a thousand rungs below michael jordan the basketball player."  Stephanie stepped in to try to soften that blow, but to no avail.

He then follows that up with "marc gasol was just the doughy younger brother of Pau." Dell and Steph say nothing lol.

Also, good 3Q for PJ.

You gotta wonder how long they're going to give it.

The three-person team just doesn't work.

I think they were looking for someone to give the gus johnson-effect but, there's only one gus johnson.  And honestly, i prefer the more even keel and analysis approach of Dell and Steph.  Dell isnt going to scream when a big, exciting play happens, but he gets you in the emotions of it all in how he calls it.  His "too quick, too fast" call comes to mind.

Kemba: 6/22 on the night.

That bullshit is worse than even PJ Hairston. What is going on?

He's just not good. In retrospect, aside from Decembers of most seasons where he'd go on a hot streak, you could argue (and some have on here) that he never was good to begin with and only got away with mediocrity because he had awful offensive players around him that made him look better.

This is why I didn't understand the "Oh, we can just move him to a sixth man" talk. Bringing him off the bench isn't magically going to teach him how to shoot a basketball and it's not going to keep him from launching twenty shots a game even though the roster rebuild was designed to take that burden off him.

On top of that, his defense has fallen off to the point where he was torched by Jose Calderon the other night.

There's ultimately a value for every player out there on the trade block but I'm not sure what Kemba's is or who would want to take him or Jefferson. But if there's one thing Cho does well, it's trades.

Unfortunately, I can't say I disagree with you here.

I like Kemba, I really do. But it seems like he is just trying way too hard to be the guy, instead of a role player within an entire group.

As far as trades, I'm not going to give up on him yet, but I don't know if I can watch another season of him shooting endless bricks.

Very glad to see this board wising up on Kemba.  He's a volume shooter that can't shoot.  He doesn't involve his teammates well.

We've been decent exactly twice since Kemba has been here (I'm calling us decent this year).  In both instances, there was another facilitator on the team that ran the offense (McBob, and now Batum/Lin helping). 

Kemba is about the 20th best PG in the league.  That is not bad per se, except I think management thinks he is something much better than that and they coordinate personnel moves consistent with that.

 

MJ falls in loves with guys based on their NCAA tourney run and never looks back.

Somewhat related, if we had taken Winslow, this team would be 6-3 IMO.

Whether it was Winslow or Kaminsky, either one would be riding the bench here right now regardless.

Doesn't really matter who you draft if your coach doesn't like giving rookies minutes.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Did we take over a thread about who you'd take #1 by having a debate on who you'd take #1? Basically you still don't want to answer my question, probably because your answer would be either T-Mac like myself, or Hunter, which taking a CB #1 overall is even crazier on the surface than what you're saying I'm stupid for in wanting a WR there. As I've said before, it's a season without a traditional clear top pick(s).  It would be great if we could trade back if we got #1, but if not, there's nothing wrong with taking a truly elite WR and build out our roster correctly for once instead of always trying to find the quick fix and it backfiring.

      I just thought of an interesting comparison for what I'm arguing with taking T-Mac and how to build up to hopefully being a contender. The mid 2000's Arizona Cardinals In 2003 they took Anquan Boldin early in the 2nd, kinda a decent comp for Legette with style of play and being more of an elite #2 than a true outside #1 (they also took a WR in the 1st too who didn't pan out). In 2004 they took Larry Fitzgerald #3 overall, the true outside #1. Their QB's at the time, Jeff Blake and Josh McCown The QB they passed on to take Fizgerald, Philip Rivers. They were in the Super Bowl a few years later after they found their QB in Warner to slot into an already built out roster of elite weapons. Cam, you asked how it would look if we passed on a QB who pans out for a WR, well, do you think the Cardinals regret taking Fitz over Rivers?  I highly doubt it. Our roster is more than one offseason away from contending.  I'm not looking for the quick fix because there isn't one with the state of this franchise at the moment, I'm looking to contend for a decade. I don't think a QB in this draft class is good enough to take 1st overall with everything else we still need.  My next preference would be an elite pass rusher, but again, I don't see one of them in this draft either. My personal bias aside, I very honestly think T-Mac is the most can't miss offensive prospect in this draft (Hunter would be that on defense).  He is the WR we've been trying to get since we lost Smitty.   Brooks, T-Mac, Legette, Coker/FA, Sanders would have the potential to be one of the best offensive weapon sets in the NFL.  Sure, hopefully we could hit on a superstar QB in the next draft, but even if not, if those guys pan out, with them all are in their prime together, we wouldn't need a Mahomes or Allen to contend, we'd only need to find our Jared Goff. and spend all our FA money the next couple offseason on Defense.

      Chase Daniels breaks down Bryce vs DEN

      By R0CKnR0LLA · Posted

      Competent QBs can read defenses presnap, see where their best matchups are and already know where they're going with the ball. Then have good footwork with fast fundamentally sound dropbacks. See the field well and decisive with their decisions on where to go with the ball. And an NFL caliber arm, get the ball out quickly and deliver it with velocity. Bryce can do none of these things.
