Used all 5 of our sellbacks on this stretch coming up. They basically funneled 4 garages and 2 lots worth of people into one tiny entry point with a bottleneck coming in from either direction. Went from 5-10 mins of traffic each way to an hour. Also relying on people to be nice and let you in or...
There is nothing that would piss me off more than seeing CWG on the sidelines in 25-26....

[quote]I agree. They’re aren’t tanking bc Willie and griff are fighting for their jobs. It’s such a fricking Nola thing. We are the worst tanking city.[/quote] Z rehabbed 2 months for a strain. The entire top 8 has taken time off and not rushed back at one point or another. BI is probably no...
[quote]TigerinATL[/quote] I’ll take good/adequate for our Front Office. I’ve seen the alternative more often than not. Griffin needs to learn from his mistakes, and he could be a very good GM. ...

[quote]Why is BIstill out?[/quote] So his glass body can’t get hurt again between now and the trade that occurs before the deadline. ...

re: We dont deserve CJ or Jose

We gotta give CJ the Jrue Holiday treatment now and get him somewhere where he can compete in the playoffs. He's been too much of a pro and doesn’t deserve to waste his last few years at this level of play. ...
The BI situation was handled terribly. He should have broken up the BI/Zion duo long ago. I gotta imagine that he should have seen the tea leaves behind the scenes. That said, he’s more good than bad imo. Hes also doing EXACTLY what I would do in the situation we’re in. Blow it up. Keep the coac...
I don’t get the Griffin hate. We have drafted really well. Been able to get guys to extend on team friendly deals. He’s had two absolutely delusional superstars/support systems to work with. BI thinks he’s a top 15 player and he’s not. Zion has been a child since being here. I can see Griffin...

Jose is just a winning player man. It’s not a coincidence that he comes back and the team is playing with heart again. You don’t trade a young player like that. It’s a ridiculous notion if I’m David Griffin and preaching culture over and over....
50-55 wouldn’t shock me. Freakiest athlete I’ve ever seen even without 2025 medicine....
Zion looks great. I cannot believe he came back in way better shape than when he got hurt. I had put that at 0% based on past history. It’s like a bad relationship :lol: I was out and now I’m having my doubts. frick....
[quote]Because of the terrorist attack, or for something random/stupid?[/quote] Because we weren’t made aware of this 2 weeks ago or sooner in the season, we can reasonably deduce this is a consequence of the terrorist attack. ...
Keep telling yall. The energy on that court and in that arena is different when Jose is out there. It was the Wiz. And CJ went nova. But man I’m telling yall, it’s just different in there when he plays. People are actually having fun. ...
[quote]I love Jose but fans really need to stop treating him like he's an important part to this roster. He's the 7,8,9th best player on a team full of losers. I'm not against keeping him but he has more value trading and saving a future 1st or gaining 2nds > keeping him for no damn reason on a...
Music to my ears. That would have been my list as well. I hope Jose is in the “strongly prefer not to” category. He’s dirt cheap and his energy/joy are palpably missing right now on that court and in that arena....
I’m fairly convinced Griff is keeping him BECAUSE he sucks at this point. I can’t even say I disagree with the strategy. Where else are you going to find a coach this bad who can develop young players this well? Hes going to lose us games on his own. That’s a hot commodity for us this year. ...
[quote]Trey is not going to develop a skillset on creating for himself.[/quote] Why would you think a player that’s obviously added to his 2 pt scoring ability and handles has capped out on his playmaking? He’s already going 1 on 1 much more effectively this year compared to last. He had two move...
Agree with everything in OP. Reps are invaluable for players like Herb, TM3, Hawkins, and Missi. They’re all just scratching the surface. Let them evolve. They’re the type of players that work hard and have added to their offensive game every year. They need confidence in their abilities and the fre...
[quote]Teams sniffing around Herb and CJ[/quote] One of these is not like the other. You’d better find a damned good reason to trade Herb Jones. You don’t trade championship caliber role players on good contracts. Wonder where the Warriors would be if they traded Draymond. Our “superstar” sits an...
