I want to like your post....but throwing Jose in there ruined it for me ...

Yeah because we're so long, and only Herb is good at matching up against guys 1 on 1, a matchup zone from time to time plays to our strengths...

Pels are getting really good at zone defense. This might be a good weapon come playoff time...
I'm not ready to give up on him. He has some major holes in this game but he also has some promise. He's a player that we can develop over time....

re: Dame asked for a trade

He's a perfect fit for the heat, and it seems they cleared space for him w their recent transactions ...
If fully healthy, this current roster can win a series, maybe 2. Mediocre 3-point shooting and lack of post defense would kill us against opponents deep in the playoffs...

re: CJ McCollum for Chris Paul?

I think we have a top 10, maybe top 5 team on paper. What we need is a better training staff and/or players to take their maintenance and health more seriously. I believe we were #2 in man-games lost. We don't need a traditional point guard IMO. We just need health. As stated a few posts ab...
I don't know. We need more 3-point shooting Maybe we should trade Zion for Eric Gordon. :lol:...
To me, a really great major change that could happen outside of your parameters are changes to the medical staff and training. Also an assistant coach that specializes in installing a crisp offense is a must....
Zion is young, and clearly might not be making the best decisions or taking great care of himself, but I also REALLY don't trust Griff. He's misled Pels fans many times before, and has continued to mislead fans about Zion's injury diagnosis. I don't trust a word that comes out of his mouth. ...

re: Zion Trade Hypothetical

Posted by sleepingbunch on 4/10/23 at 3:02 pm
That scenario is pretty one-sided in our favor. We should do that in a heartbeat, but I think Blazers fans would be furious about the trade from their side. ...

re: Put your positive takes here

Trey and Herb are the real deal. That 2021 draft was awesome. Without that draft, this team might be in full rebuild mode. I don't think we're winning anything in march/april without those 2 guys. ...
This season is a marathon, not a sprint. It makes sense for CJ to take a lot of shots in a very winnable game 24 out of 82 against a super young Pistons team. At some point, he needs to snap out of his rut - he hasn't forgotten how to play basketball. I'm fine with giving CJ a lot of run now eve...

re: Give Naji his due

Posted by sleepingbunch on 12/5/22 at 3:21 pm
Love Naji. Great player for team morale, enforcer, and just skilled enough to stay on the court and make a difference. He has a very versatile skill set. He's been great about getting the ball to hot players lately. He's kind of a B-minus at just about every skill, but isn't terrible at anything and...

Yeah, the Spurs announcer said GTA has the energy of a 4 year old on a sugar high. As a parent of a 3 year old....I concur...
Daniels is 100% one of our top 10 players RIGHT NOW. The man needs to play ...

re: We need shooting

Posted by sleepingbunch on 10/24/22 at 12:10 pm
A quick answer to all this is just more shots for Murphy. Murphy played 39 Min against the Jazz, and went only 3/4 from 3. I wish he would have had 8 to 10 attempts. It should be a significant part of the gameplan to seek him out for these shots, especially if Zion/BI draw doubles down the road. ...
It's got to be Ingram, as long as everyone is healthy. He might have the ball in hands the most, and has been steadily gaining some distributor/point forward skills last season. He won't be the #1 scorer anymore, and he'll have the ball a ton, so it just makes sense. CJ #2. ...

re: Realistic Expectations

Posted by sleepingbunch on 7/16/22 at 7:33 pm
I actually think clearly our biggest flaw is 3 point shooting, being that we were 28th in the NBA last season beyond the arc and we have the same lineup returning. 3 point shooting should open up with Zion's addition, but if we can't take advantage of defenses collapsing Zion by hitting our 3's, the...
