I've been wondering if they're teaching him how to walk.


THIS. I remember getting flamed on draft night when I said he walks like an old man. I thought it might just be a teenage strut, but he literally slides his feet around like his knees can't lift up.

Griff is a liar. I hate this kind of bs where teams lie for no reason. Just tell us the truth bro.

Lester is definitely self-loathing but I don't think he's stupid.

but the timing just wasn't right to fire Gentry this summer.


They literally fired everyone else.

Wut? How was the timing not right?

Younger players who could grow with Zion/BI.


In order for a team of young and promising players to reach their full potential and grow individually, you need veterans on your roster. Not only do you need veterans, but you veterans that have played at a high level and have had success in the league. If not, you become Sacremento and Chicago. Good Vets with success can be the leaders that players listen to and follow. Favors and JJ fit that mode.

I think Reggie knows more then a hunch No way would he put that out there without being sure
Have you ever listened to Reggie before? He knows nothing. He is simply throwing another of his guesses out there to sound like he is connected. He clearly knows nothing about Zion or the Pels. It is simply him trying to throw something at the wall in case he ends up being right, he can say he told everyone. He is a more understandable version of Perkins.

Griff's field of positivity is credited with Cleveland coming back down 3-1 to one of the most dominant teams in NBA history


Honestly, it was a wide open Harrison Barnes bricking jumpers. Look at his stats the last 3 games like 5-32. That and LeBron dominating. I dont think it was Griffs email. He probably wrote positive emails the next couple years when they were getting stomped but GS had KD instead of Barnes this time.

That kind of puffery can help manufacture momentum when you actually have both the talent and wisdom/experience/skill to back it up


I'm assuming he believed he actually had the talent and skill to back it up which is why he said those things. The alternative is that he knew they lacked those things and said it anyway.

Just play Presti going forward and ackowledge the team is rebuilding and won't be very good. There is nothing wrong with that position unless ticket sales are a concern but Zion will sell regardless.

Season is disappointing but it's very early in his tenure. I agree with you that ive agreed with a lot of what he's done, especially the trainer. Its just the idealistic talk isn't necessary.

Correction. Griff is going to tell you what HE wants you to hear.

1) Zion will play this year.
2) 1ranter1 lives up to his name.
3) Lester hates life.
4) Griff will fix the Gentry issue - but not until after the season.
5) People need to chill tf out and take this season for what it is. Griffin didn't come here to purposely lie to you.
