reason we got Willie is because BI didn’t want SVG


NOBODY wants Willie, except ownership apparently

Anyone secretly hoping Suns want Willie Green?

Seems like everyone else is playing checkers and you’re playing tic tac toe. I don’t even have to respond because most of the posters here made you look like an idiot. But go ahead and act like your arguments make any sense.

Noticed how Dallas set screens to free Luka. Different coaching philosophy I guess.

When Luka gets screens with the ball, he was constantly pressuring the basket and making sure Dort couldn't get around him, keeping Dort on his back half.


When BI gets a screen with the ball to get off of Dort, he just stops and waits and Dort can easily recover back to guarding BI.

Sad thing is that Borrego's offense is predicated on screening action.

Guys, he shot 3 a game. 3!!! He should be shooting that many on the break. He shot 6 his first two seasons with us. YES, that was a choice.


I feel like a check this stat every couple of weeks to make sure it’s real.

Year 1: shoots .391 on 6.2 attempts
Year 2. Shoots .381 on 6.1 attempts

Last Year: .390 on 3.6 attempts
This Year: .355 on 3.8 attempts

I would be shocked if there is another starting player on the league shooting close to 40% fewer threes today than 3-4 years ago that isn’t some aging center.

It just makes no fricking sense and Ingram is going to lose a lot of money because he stopped shooting 3s.

Go see how much he was playing lead guard early in his career. This is not hard to comprehend, but many of you struggle.

He should be shooting more not being "lead guard"

Zion + ball movement creates plenty of opportunity for open, spot up 3s

BI rejects that premise entirely and wants iso ball and long 2s. I was a big BI defender until we brought in Borego and BI ignored him and the system to do his iso, non-3 stupidity.

He's either willing to make the team be less effective to prove a point, ignorantly selfish, or dumb.

One of the real downsides to JV is that he really does not set very good screens. When you look at BI's numbers from early in his time in New Orleans and compare them to now, you have to remember that Steven Adams might set the best screens of any big in the NBA, and JV is a big step down from that.

Ingram is a 26 year old veteran perimeter player and is supposed to be an all star and a max player. If his excuse for not playing great defense, getting to the line at volume, or taking 3’s at volume is his role in the system, than Ingram is a role player and not a cornerstone.
