He's questioning Gentry playing AD away from the goal and letting him take all these jump shots, because it takes away what he does best, BLOCK SHOTS!! huh, what? Sorry, but you cant make this shite up.


He also says that we are running out a bunch of D-league guys. Maybe im a homer but there were no players the played last night that are D-league players.


How come Nola Media is so terrible? fml

I honestly did not even know that Eric Asher was still on the air. Its probably been 5 years since I've even heard someone mention him.

I agree with Asher. Would've loved to see AD block a couple of Ish Smith's shots last night on offense.

I don't think people understand how AD actually scores. He not an ISO monster that creates his own shot. 71.5% of his makes were assisted last year. It's not as simple as saying "get AD the ball in the post", he's a finisher not a post scorer, and you need someone to start something for AD to be able to finish.

I think you can argue that Ish would fit that generalization since he's never really caught on anywhere. But it's not like that was the plan, we were literally playing our 4th and 5th string PGs last night. Not just 4th and 5th guards, but 4th and 5th PGs.

Anyone who looks at last night and thinks that's how the rest of the season will look is a moron whose opinion should be mocked.

yea he's on 990am from like 10-2 or some shite.

He pretty much repeats whatever fletcher says, who is a weekly guest on his show.

calling our players retreads and wanna be's. HE's mad that we didnt make any moves in the offseason

The only good thing I can say about Asher is that he's always cared about the Pels/Horns and covered them on his various shows. 'TIX, etc. But, yeah, dat dumb

THE TRUTH

Only begun taking talk radio serious here in the last 3 years are so. Have a loooong way to go.


Eric Asher has an opinion-- we talking 1 game of a long season with a bunch backup guys. AD did lead the league in blocks did he not? He is more a NOLA watchdog than anything. I know you know that ... bad day at work today bro?



Are there guys we played last night Dleaguers.. not one bit.


What did we expect from this one game last night if we being honest?

1. what station do you work at?

2. I dont mind a good rant that is based on good information. Eric Asher knows very little about basketball and doesn't seem to care to learn more outside of weekly guest Fletcher Mackel.

LOL No station bro.

I find myself in the truck a lot going back and fourth. I hate commercials and have every station in the greater NOLA area programmed. I have spent a good bit of time listening to Eric the last few years.


Not saying I agree with him. You know he isn't a sports guy really. He likes to drunk tweet/facebook things...


If you know he isn't informed basketball guy then why do you care what his opinion matters? All I am pointing out

more than 50% of his talk is sports, if not more.

there has to be some accountability there, if you're sitting there talking "matter of factly" when you are talking out of your arse, in reality.

Golden St went in dry last night. That was brutal to watch. One of the worst games I've seen AD play. Hate that it happened on national TV.
