I'm a buzz kill? There has to be a buzz first dummy. There is no buzz on this board, more like a pack of frustrated haters searching for doom and gloom. If you wanted to see a buzz, you should have watched the Nuggets and Wolves game last night. The Denver crowd was pumped, maybe pressuring the ref's into some questionable calls on KAT. The Pels quiet and objective home crowd makes it easy on the refs, other teams get calls at home, not the Pels.

I won't deny that. We do not have the home court advantage we should.
Anyway, badly need the win tonight and hope the Warriors rest everyone for us.
Go Pels.

So you rank our coaching as 6th? If you think that, there is no reason to clean house or replace coaching. Please put the bottle down, drink some orange juice, your liver will thank you.

quote:Durant is the only one, and that's only because it takes him off of GS.
I strongly disagree with this statement. Durant, Kawhi, George, Hayward, Butler, and The Greek Freak all make the Pels a legit contender also.
The rest of those guys aren't touching GS unfortunately.
quote:That team has no shot to beat GS in a 7 game series, especially since Boogie is likely never going to be the Boogie we've seen.
You can't tell me a team with Rondo/Jrue/George/AD/Cousins isn't a contending team.

You pretty much said as much the last time you went off on us for being bad fans.

It just seems like there is a disconnect with fans and the franchise.
I'm a troll because you have crappy team support. I'm a troll because you can't sell out a home game in a small arena (even if the team is successful). I'm a troll for saying support the team. Well, you need to listen to this troll.
You're correct, my point was to bash New Orleans. I want them to support the team, sell out some games.

So you're saying that if Kawhi forced his way out in San Antonio and Pop told Dell he'd like to coach the Pels that you wouldn't fire Gentry immediately? I would, but outside of something like that I'm not looking to fire everybody. As I said I like this staff. Although I do think Finch deserves a lot of credit for the offensive improvement we've seen, so if he left my view of how strong this staff is would drop off some.

I remember saying that. It's true, the Pels have a shitty fan-base compared to other teams. The team plays in a small leaky arena that they can't fill. What is your point? I stand by my statement. What point are you trying to prove? You're showing your lack of intelligence in your posts.

With you coming up with this wild scenario, I wonder if I underestimated you. I thought you were drunk, now you're sounding like a crackhead. Put the pipe down and do something constructive.

Im not sure that Demps will try to package Niko with something and trade him off in search of an upgrade....I think the idea of a core featuring AD, Boogie, Jrue, Niko is something that the whole staff finds quite intriguing.
This team when AD and Boogie were healthy and playing as well as they were would be plagued by inconsistent scoring and overall poor shooting when one or both of them came off the court. You'd see some time with both AD and Cousins out there early and then after the first round of subs you'd only see a few more minutes when both were on the floor. Settling for just letting each of them run a certain style of play and kinda take turns doing that while rotating shooters and wing players in and out....
I think the idea of being able to put Niko out in place of either AD or Boogie and not having as severe a drop-off in play and scoring is something the franchise will look to keep around. Sitting boogie early and moving Davis to the 5 and bringing in Niko at the 4 for a but until sitting them both back down and putting cousins and say Diallo back in and letting cousins do his individual thing until again bringing Davis and Niko back in, keeping boogie from gassing like he did so many times this year. Keeping another frontcourt scorer to take some pressure off of AD and just letting the guards do what they do. Sorry, but the rotation of AD, Boogie, and Niko just makes me think they'll be quite an unstoppable Force even more than they were on the block to begin with.

That is probably the best line up in the NBA if the Pels added George. Holiday and George would be elite perimeter defenders and the Cousins/Davis duo would own the boards. It would be a matchup nightmare for GSW.
The Pels aren’t getting George though.

I hope the team keeps Niko. Hopefully, we package our 7 mill in expiring contracts (Ajinca and Miller), 2019 first, and Solomon Hill for a SF upgrade, someone like Harrison Barnes or Fournier. Both players have their warts, but would fit great with Jrue/AD/Boogie. Both players are only 25, they still have upside.

The greatest team we've ever seen is playing now but the Pels are a Paul George away from being better? Yikes...

Adding Paul George (one of the top 2 way players in the league) to the core of Davis, Cousins, and Holiday would be better than GSW easily.
Who in the NBA would be able to match up with Pels front court and not get destroyed? Cousins and Davis are versatile enough to squash a small ball lineup.
So Durant matches up with the hypothetical George. Then Green is destroyed in either matchup against Cousins ot Davis. You are also putting at best an average big man on an island to get abused by Cousins or Davis. Holiday is still going to be elite perimeter defense on Curry or Thompson. GSW’s only chance is too stay absolutely on fire from outside. Any let up and they will lose because the Pels would own the paint, own the rebounds, and own the foul advantage if called fairly.
Again all of this is hypothetical and not going to happen because the Pels are not going to be able to add one of the top two way SFs in the game to their built core of the team.

Hypothtical matchup
Do you think in basketball Curry, Thompson, Durant, and Green as a group are better than Davis, Cousins, George, and Holiday? This assumes I each team finds a reasonably priced player to fill the other spot on the court.
My point was that they have similar talent with those 4 players and that the Pels would have the advantage due to the advantage in the paint.
Again it ain’t happening because the Pels will not add a tier 1 SF to the core they already have.

I qualified it by saying GSW would have to stay on fire from 3pt and the officiating would have to not favor (jump shooters over post players). That officiating is not guaranteed with the stupid officiating in the NBA.
