re: When Queen develops a consistent 3 point shot

He will develop a 3 too. I have zero doubts about it

The offense is awesome to watch right now

Bey is just a much better player than I realized. He’s a great complimentary player. I feel like he’s exactly who we wanted James posey/solomon hill/mo Peterson to be when we desperately needed a sf to complete the team.
We need like 2 more Saddiq Beys on this team. Idk who they are but Weaver needs to go find them

The biggest thing we have going for us is that we have no incentive to tank while some of the teams above use like Utah, Dallas, and Portland all have incentive to tank.

frick Atlanta. We’re not giving them a top 5 pick. Let’s win some games and spoil that pick for them

Willie was so fricking predictably terrible. Discreet ever once deviate from his stupid arse pre determined lineups other than to start Kira for the first time all season in the playoffs? Lol
Willie never made other teams adjust to us. Teams always knew what lineups we would roll out. Borrego rolling with the hot hands threw them off. Him doubling KD and forcing Amen to make plays was genius. Amen made a couple shots but also missed a bunch and turned the ball over.
We know Gayle isn’t going to go spend a ton of money on a coach. Borrego is probably the best coach in our price range. He’s an actual X’s and O’s coach instead of a vibes coach like Willie
re: No Zion down the stretch. Played only 21 minutes

Making sure we can void as much as his contract money as possible is one of the most important things the team needs to do the rest of the season. Zion’s contract is awful given how far he has fallen as a player. There is no market for him. Pelicans need to cut him in the most cap friendly way possible
That’s why I think we need to cut him now. He can’t play 41 games if you just cut him now. People need to drop the delusion that some team is going to trade for him. Everyone knows he’s done here and we could use the cap space. Any team that would be interested would just wait till we eventually cut him in the offseason to pick him up

Zion and Missi seem like the odd men out. It was close until Missi/ Zion/ Jose/ Poole came in for Queen/ Fears/ Bey/ Herb. Went from up 3pts to down 9pts fast.
Yeah Karlo is so much better than Missi and can actually shoot a little. I would make Karlo the permanent backup 5

I said it in the other thread. I would remove him from the rotation completely. He’s not a good player anymore and he doesn’t bring anything positive to this roster.
He’s lost so much athleticism and never expanded his game so all he does is barrel to the basket and get blocked or miss the shot.

He’s awesome. Remove the interim tag. I’ve seen enough.
This is a terrible roster that he’s doing a really good job with

This run started when Zion was benched. I would take him out of the rotation completely. He’s just a bad player now. He brings nothing to this team

Borrego is such a good coach. He’s been awesome this game

I take back what I said about Herb. He has led this comeback

Wow Poole just blew that perfect 2 for 1. The quarter should’ve ended on a shot for us. He shot a 3 with 18 seconds left and missed, the rockets came back and hit a 3.
We went from going into the 4th at worst down 13, and at best down 10 to going into the 4th down 16

Still blows my mind that a good amount of people on this board thought he was going to be a good player.
He was legit good last year. He’s completely fallen off this year.
Him and Zion are actively hurting this team

fricking fire Poole and Zion into the sun.

Get Zion off the fricking floor.

Zion has lost so much athleticism. It’s pretty pathetic to watch now. He used to be automatic around the rim. Now he’s easily defended

The Poole trade might’ve been worse than giving up an unprotected 1st. We’re going to be paying this bum 34 million NEXT year

Poole is so bad. He just dribbles and jacks up a terrible shot
