[quote] Stick Herb on Russel and then pack the paint...[/quote] This...is the correct answer...and then HOPE...that Russell gets frustrated & throws up 15 shots or so....

[quote]quote: Bulls' Zach LaVine will miss an additional 3 to 4 weeks to treat right foot inflammation. We already know LaVine doesn't want to be on the Bulls. So, is this real?[/quote] I'd guess LaVine's injury will be "real"...until the day he is traded to another team. It's the NBA....

[quote]Extra 500k for every player. Maybe zion and Ingram don't care personally, but playing for their locker room dudes matter.[/quote] Think I read somewhere...that the 2-way players only get 1/2 a "share" each...but I imagine an extra $250K would be a nice little bonus... for any 2-way Pelican...

Free throw disparity will increase...as long as Kings are behind by close to double digits...

They'll shoot FTs...until it gets fairly close...and we'll have to hit tough shots...

Up 10-15 on the road...you're not gonna get ANY calls going to the hoop...until the game gets close. Gotta play accordingly....

If...we can get more than 2 people to play good solid defense, we can win this game. The Kings play very little defense. It would help immensely if Herb can stay out of foul trouble....

Gotta eliminate those nasty "foot faults" but...his 3-pt shot just looks "different" this year. Seems like there's very few really bad misses. Getting a bit deep in the weeds here...but his huge leap on stats such as eFG% and even more importantly...his TS%... are probably not noticed or apprec...

[quote]Well The Spurs are developing Sochan because they are in the position to give him significant minutes and experiment with his play while encouraging him to take shots. We're not in that position so Dyson is naturally going to be well behind Sochan in his offensive development.[/quote] S...

[quote]Pop doesn't know what he's doing. He has been terrible since his wife passed He is a shell. He dosent want fans booing an opponent. He is soft[/quote] Pop was late...to recognize the explosion of the 3-pt shot in the NBA. He never liked the 3-pt shot...deep down, probably still doesn't. H...

---comparing 2 guys that many thought Pels had to choose from in the 2022 draft...Daniels and Sochan. I was a lean toward Sochan as I considered him a possible small ball 5 but had no problem when Pels went with Daniels instead. I saw Daniels as an eventual BIG PG...which I STILL do, BTW. ---Funn...

[quote]Yeah don’t disagree with what you said but I guy like Thybulle is unplayable in the playoffs. You’re basically paying him for regular season defense and no offense. Its what I worry about with Dyson but I’ve also seen signs of offensive improvement so lets see.[/quote] Obviously, the Mavs ...

[quote]His confidence is shot. You could see it just dwindling down to zero in the Utah game.[/quote] He's basically a "Thybulle", when Thybulle was at Philly & everybody hated him (especially Embiid) & they tried to get rid of him for a coupla years & nobody wanted him. Then they finally unl...

We probably have a player or two that could use the extra cash. $50K or $100K or $200K...or $500K when we win it all. Think that's right....

[quote]The top 5 in Foul Trouble % 1. Dillon Brooks 2. Jaden McDaniels 3. Herbert Jones 4. Bismack Biyombo 5. Myles Turner[/quote] Good point...and another very good reason...why the Pels desperately need Dyson to develope alongside Herb...and relieve some of the pressure off Herb...when f...

[quote]He’s 35.3% from three on 3.4 attempts a game right now. It might not be Trey Murphy realm, but it’s right where you want to see him.[/quote] Still early, but Herb is having a great year offensively. Stats for his first 3 yrs: 3-pt%...33.7%...33.5%...35.3% 2-pt%...53.3%...53.6%...65.1% e...

[quote]Could use some good news after the last two games![/quote] Gonna be very interesting to see how Doncic and Kyrie approach this game. Plus...be nice if Lively plays. He's pretty decent....

[quote]I think the stat may be a tad misleading considering the amount of 3's team throw up against us.[/quote] An odd stat for sure. But at our rate of defending the 3...I wish the opponent would throw up a whole bunch more 3s...and less 2-pt shots. Maybe we're just getting lucky...who knows....

---led the league last year at defending the 3...allowing a league lowest of 33.9% last year and leading the league again this year, allowing only 32.1% on opponent's 3s. ---I assume we can attribute this to...if the other team has 5 guys at the 3-pt line...Herb can rotate quickly enough to guard...

The Curious Case of Dyson Daniels. I think the Pels are counting on DD to eventually develope and become a MAJOR part of an improved Pels team...AND PLAYING ALONGSIDE HERB. No way they even consider giving up on DD...or his outside shot. They recognize the potential of having a Herb/DD combo on t...
