re: Saints making calls to trade up - per Daniel Jeremiah

What
Look at our current tackle assets. It’s probably the worst in NFL history.
If there is a run on tackles, you have to do what it takes to get one. It’s not ideal obviously but what are you going to do? The Saints are desperate at OT.[/quote]
What's the urgency? The ceiling for...
re: Dillon Brooks wrote the book on BI

[quote]1. 3 pt shooting
2. Scoring at the rim/Getting to the line
3. Defense
BI doesn’t excel at any of those. A max player needs to be great at 2 of those, or elite at 1 and better than average at the other 2.
The 3 pt shooting is entirely his own choice. He could be much better there but s...

We could also let him run his ISO stuff as our lead bench playmaker. It's not like we'd have to eliminate that entirely for him.
But he basically refuses to buy in, overall.[/quote]
Everything we want him to do is well within his ability, it's just a lack of effort.
Like CJ is an a...

[quote]The irony is he would be so much more productive if he just bought in[/quote]
Right? Like he's 6'8 with a 7'3 wingspan and is a good passer and shooter. If he just would spot up from 3, move and cut off ball and buy in on defense he would be one of the most sought after players in the leag...
re: Game 2 Series Stats and Observations
Posted by Balsamic_duck on 4/25/24 at 9:20 am
[quote]CJ gave up 31 points on 14-17 shooting against him. That's just an astounding stat right there. 14 for 17 shooting for a team against 1 guy.
I'll remind you that in Game 1 he gave up 30 points on 12-19 shooting.
They are hunting CJ and attacking him when he's on the ball, and they are being...

Where the hell do I sign up?
Murray Herb Trey Zion Allen as starters and CJ as the 6th man is finally a rotation that makes sense.
Have CJ and Hawk coming off the bench bombing 7-8 3s each
I'd even try to resign JV as a backup if we could get hi...

[quote]I like Ware’s traits what scares me is that it didn’t equate to winning. He was transfer to Indiana from Oregon and he improved but it didn’t really impact Indiana into a winning program. Now that could just be the crap around him and not Ware. But he tries to block everything and is foul pro...

Has that dawg in him. Can shoot. Averages almost 9 rebounds a game at 6'3. Plays good defense.[/quote]
I agree. He plays exactly like a 6'3 Jose, which would be like the perfect point guard for this team. If Jose wa...

It is very clear to see that Trey wants the ball in big moments. That's something in a player that's al...
