Winning cures ALL. IF we make playoffs, compete well, Zion and Griff will be fine. Jordan hated Krause but never thought about leaving Chicago. Its just funny, that N.O. always has these type of stories come out, but u never heard about, in the monent, the in details when Kobe wanted out, whe...
Zion didnt play damn near his 1st year and last season was a Van Gundy, wtf?, mulligan year.... I expect Zion to finally enter this year in a comfort zone and ball out. Top 10 in the League by December. TOP 5 come playoffs. Top 3, if he can get us to Semis. Side note: Durant is the BEST of...
Until the media stops pushing stars to the usual destinations and making it seem you cant win a small market, it will always be this way....
Tomas will be key running the 2nd team. I believe Tomas play will lead to him starting eventually. He is gonna be key to the Pels run....

Did Rodgers throw this game?

Posted by irvchilichill1 on 9/12/21 at 8:03 pm
After the 1st pick Rodgers threw it seemed apparent to me that he's nonchalant about this season. Sure, he did a few gestures of disappointment, but it just seemed he really mailed it in after that. The 2nd pick was ridiculous to throw up. Saints D played well, taking nothing from them at all, ...
Honestly, Kira will be an average player in this league. ...

I believe early on, Sato will beat out Kira to run the 2nd unit with the caveat that he might be a better fit to run with the starters. I keep saying dont sleep on Sato... Feels like he's ready to take off like Goran Dragic did unexpectedly with Phoenix....
If NAW starts, I would say no... He would probably need to be the 4th or 5th leading scorer if we are winning games. So, I would say 12.5 a game. If he is 3rd, then we actually may have an issue with Graham or Joe V not producing to their mean. If Joe is not getting you 15+ per game, then he i...
I for 1 am glad we missed on the "targets." That would have relegated us to mediocrity or less for an exorbitant amount and having to use assests to make moves. Griff dodged a bullet that would have been self-inflicted. This team will be just as good if Lowry was here and close to as good even ...
Maybe in the latter half, but early on Im just looking for double digits....

This team is Sooo much better to handle and sustain injuries. Even if Zion misses, we can still win games. The bench will be a STRENGTH this year. We counted on Reddick and Meli like someone earlier said.... and still won 31 games with injuries. We will be fine this year. ...
NAW will be good offensively. Thats his calling card to sticking in the League. But, Im not so sure if he should start with the rest of the starters, maybe excluding Joe, not being considered good defensive players themselves. Im thinking now Hart should start if Graham is the PG. We need SO...

Well now we see why we didnt just do a Hart for Markannen swap. Chicago obviously wanted Hart and 1st round pick (even if it had protections that make it likely to convert to 2nd round picks), which Griff may have done. The deal breaker for Griff and most of the NBA was Lauri's salary number dem...
The lawsuit states that Rich Paul withheld offers, so Noel wouldn't even have the option to accept if he didn't know they existed. That's the sticking point. And its a valid assertion, one that if it were completely true, would constitute an injury and should merit a compensatory judgment in his ...
Noel's case will get dismissed on summary judgment if its an uncontroverted fact,that Noel met Paul at a party and Paul suggested he declined the Mavs deal before contractually becoming his agent. Sounds like Karma playing a part, bc I'm more than sure Noel had an agent, via contract, at the time h...
Kira is so not Bobby Jack. Not physically strong like Bobby and likely wont ever be regardless of his physical maturation. Kira, at least now, does not drive with intentions of creating physical contact like Jack. Nor does he shoot with confidence like Jack, currently. People forget, but it seem...
Nothing to see here... Except Spencer showing off his personality, which is cool and his utmost confidence in his game, which is critical to any player's consistency. Dude looks like a modern day, young Julius Erving. NAW has defensive limitations and actually kinda concerns me when watching hi...

[quote]Hawks barely make the playoffs, flash in the pan.[/quote] U trippin dude... If Pels could swipe 2 players off just the Atlanta bench, say Cam Reddish or Bogdanovich and a Jalen Johnson, we would be saying this team is Top 3 in the West and legit title contenders if everyone played to thei...
Ryan Anderson did underachieve after Year 1. Injuries had alot to do with it, but nonetheless, he did not live up to the contract he got. I still say Dell, overall, wasnt as bad a GM as believed and would have succeeded if those teams could have stayed healthy and if he would have got anyone wo...

'21 Pels... Better than '20 Hawks. Dead Serious. If NAW gives you Bogdanovic type impact and Trey gives you Gallinari timely 3's, our superstars are better than theirs. Now, I didnt say '21 Hawks bc I believe they are officially a bonafide contender after the draft. They hands down have the be...
