Annoying to me is not getting the replay that I pay for thru Ballys. I usually watch the replay of the parts of games I’m interested in. Live I can get on one of the “free” streams. Another hiccup is people have written here signal is too weak to get over antenna in Gonzales. I haven’t tried an a...

re: Robinson-Earl is horrendous

I wondered why at the end they didn’t try Herb at the 5 on Sengun. Herb was sitting on bench with Trey playing. ...

re: Zion named all star starter

Posted by sportsfan225 on 1/27/23 at 9:29 am
I’m an unapologetic Pelicans homer and I’m glad Zion was named starter. And seeing the players voted Z 3rd, Markkanen 4th and Sabonis 5th, it seems to me there is justification for it. However, I’d point anyone who has issue (or not) to Oleh Kosel’s article on this topic on the bird writes this morn...
Starting to wonder if CJ is a very good shooting guard trying to a point guard. Hopefully he tightens it up. ...
I have no inside info or any kinda deep knowledge on the subject, but I’ve been assuming Gar Forman joining the Pels as special talent evaluator in Dec 2020 is what made difference in our 2021 draft (Trey and Herb) and targeting Jose with the two way. ...

re: 2021 Lakers Thread

Comparing playoff offensive statistics, Ingram (age 24, 2022) much better than Randle’s (age 26, 2021). Small sample size though, 6 and 5 games. ...
At least, when Zion returns, there’ll be no concern over who he replaces in starting lineup. CJ, Herb, BI, Zion and JV sounds dang good. ...
I’ve read many posts in multiple threads on JJ’s falling out with Griff.. And I’ll make two observations. In all of JJ’s telling his side of the story I’ve never seen where he’s said that he was willing to give back any money back as part of any buy out. Seems I remember Aldridge gave back $6mill ...
[quote]quote: I've been wondering lately if the plan for SVG was all along to be a one or two year coach, You don’t sign a coach to a 4 year, 5 million a year contract because you want to fire him after one year. [/quote] Although, I have wondered if it was SVG’s plan. ...
There’s also Will Magnay, our two way center. Don’t think he’s playing yet (visa problem maybe). He might be worth a closer look. ...

re: Predict the first 10 games

Posted by sportsfan225 on 12/20/20 at 11:52 am
5 and 5 optimistically. Too much disappointment with early season poor play. New coach, new system, short preseason. If after 10, close to .500, will be in contention for playoffs. ...
You guys have done a great job exploring the “did we overpay” question. Am thinking Adams will be a bigger contributor to our success under SVG than Gentry. Much bigger emphasis on defense vs run run run. ...
My same hope every preseason. We actually have a decent start to the season so we don’t spend the remainder of season hoping for some near impossible remainder of season winning percentage to make the playoffs. We start closer to 10 and 10 than to 5 and 15. ...

re: What to do about Lonzo Ball?

Posted by sportsfan225 on 11/24/20 at 2:48 pm
He’s gotta get his ft% up, especially for a guard. 57% last season, best in his 3 seasons. That’s on him not the system. ...

re: Clint Capela

Posted by sportsfan225 on 11/19/20 at 3:34 pm
Capela is a good center but in our situation I can’t get interested in using trade capital for him. Can’t hit the 3, can’t even reliably hit the midrange, Ft% very weak. 3 years at 16, 17 and 18. 3 years of clogging up the middle for Zion who so far scores close to basket. And if Capela moves awa...
At the time, I wasn’t happy Monty was fired. Post Chris Paul, the Hornets win loss record improved each season under Monty until his last season with us when we just made the playoffs with a 45 and 37 record. I thought he earned another season. Demps should have been the one fired. Remember Davis...
Just my feeling, no inside info, if Griff was being 100% honest about Gentry when Griff was hired (hardly possible), this whole head coach deal with Gentry played out about like Griff would have thought most likely. After, what, 17 years as a head coach on multiple teams, Gentry’s strengths and weak...
73 years old. Not for me. And I’m a senior. ...
