They've been a Top 10 defensive team for most of the season at this point. The defense is not the problem. They've had a bottom 5 offense all season. If you want to point fingers, that is where you start. Blaming the defense while pointing to 1 game of an 82 game season might as well be screaming "I...

[quote]A lot of people are penciling him in ahead of Frazier on the depth chart but because Frazier and Jrue are the only guys on the team that can really run an offense, I think Galloway is the 5th guard if Buddy starts strong, maybe even 6th if Pondexter plays some SG.[/quote] With you on this ...

They awarded the game before the law was passed. Immediately notified NC it would be a problem once the law was passed. They aren't trying to dictate public policy, just saying they will not bring their events to a state with those policies (as many other big businesses did). They even gave NC a ...

re: Pels resign Tim Frazier

Highly doubtful. This will be his 3rd year in the league, though he was in Vegas sitting next to Lillard at one of the games....

If Frazier is in the rotation, he can create shots. I think for that reason alone, he will be in the rotation. Not much creation coming from wings on this roster....
Most intelligent observers have really liked the fit for all of the guys, with maybe Hill being a slight overpay. When I say "intelligent," I mean the ones that are not using PPG as the sole indicator of worth....

[quote]He sucks and will go down as the worst first round draft pick of all time[/quote] You probably shouldn't talk about basketball anymore....
I probably grit my teeth and do it. If he didn't have his injury history, I really wouldn't think twice. He checks too many boxes this team needs. Perimeter defense? Check (Maybe a bit overrated here, but he'd get the job done). Play-making? Check (his career AST% is more than double that of anyone ...
[quote]And I am a cocky jerk. I admit that.[/quote] Not gonna lie, I hated your guts (as a writer) when you were the new guy at Hornets247, though some of that was you just weren't Niall or Ryan and were often arguing the other side. You've won me over since then and find myself agreeing with you...

Have you ever looked at other team blogs? No joke that BSS is one of the best. TBW has some great writers. All of these guys really know their stuff, and the commitment it takes to do this is no joke. I know. I couldn't keep it up. Also, (and I can speak with a little experience here) the vast ma...
[quote]He's also much better on D than you would expect from a guy his age. To be honest, he looks more like a SF than a C to me. [/quote] Yup. Plays almost exclusively from perimeter at this stage (probably due to weight). Now as he adds weight he could move closer to the basket while retaining...
I think they may take him if all 3 of the guards are gone. If it gets to that point I'd much rather Bender than Brown. I think he could log significant minutes next to AD down the line with his size and versatility. Definitely a bit of a project, but Brown is really no different in that regard, and ...
Brown is the one guy projected to go around 6 that I really did not want, but now... [quote] If they draft Brown I'm never watching this franchise again[/quote] He just went from the bottom of my list straight to the top....
[quote] and I found out Omer bows to Mecca five times a day and that sealed it.[/quote] Oh so his play on the court didn't do it, just purely xenophobic reasons? Trash his game all you want, but that stuff does not belong on here. Also, you "found out"? You know he is from Turkey, right? Arou...
Good work here. I think Tyreke's skillset could work just fine coming off the bench and getting his a la Crawford for LAC (in a Gentry-designed O), but the question is not with his skills, it's with his head. Is he willing to play that role? Is he okay with sacrificing minutes and spotlight for a be...
