Do Not Sell My Personal Information

Who though? I'm with you on Drummond, but then who? What guy that wouldn't have been a reach makes this team look way better right now? Oladipo? Barnes?

The talent from these last three drafts is ass. Pure ass.

I wanted Drummond, like most. I am really sour over passing on him. That's the root of my issue with Grant I guess.

But I did want Oladipo as well. I'm not sure if he would change the team any at the moment, but at least he would be promising.

This is just unbearable to take. It's stretches of years like this that alienate fans. And there isn't a light at the end of the tunnel coming any time soon.

There has been talent that complimented the guy who you took first overall. The guy you HOPED would be a all-world ball controlling lead guard.

You dont shrink the floor for him with the next pick and then take the ball out of his hands with the 4th pick the next year.

For starters.

Alot of the talent that was drafted after Kyrie would not only compliment him better, but could possibly have contributed much more in a system like what Byron ran the last two years. Say what you want about who was out of discussion because of mock drafts... you identify the BPA first and BFA next and you go get them.

The irony is that I dont have a problem with Bennett but you do, because you feel as if he wasnt BFA, but I feel he could possibly have been BPA. And I feel that is the first time after Kyrie that Grant actually did draft BPA.

But that only helps my point. I don't like Bennett. You do. I like Thompson, you don't. What difference has it made? Does either guy look like a stud? (Of course, coaching might be the primary problem here). And you look at these drafts the last three years and you see bust, bust, bust, role player, a guy who might make an all-star game one day, and more busts.

Look, I'm not gonna fight for Grant after the off-season. I didn't like Bennett and I hated the Mike Brown hire (also hated the Byron Scott fire). So if he gets fired, I won't complain. But I don't feel envious of his position when it came to these past drafts. He missed on Drummond. And then who? Guess he missed on Klay Thompson...but that's harsh.
 
Mike Brown is the perfect example of knowing the right people.
His buddy got him guaranteed 20 mil.
 
Time to stop experimenting with line-ups. Dion needs to get back in there.
 
The defense was terrible again tonight, but other than that:

Kyrie played a little better. The ball didn't stick as much with him. He shot a little better.

Dion's jumper was off, but he still played very well.

Kyrie and Dion played pretty well together in the first half. It's obvious if we are going to improve at all they both need to get big minutes.

We got absolutely nothing from anyone in the front court other than Varejao. Bynum struggled. Thompson sucks. Gee is Gee. Clark makes me sick. Bennett panics every time he gets the ball. They should make him drink a few beers before the game.

The open looks generated by Waiters and Irving were wasted on a miserable front court. We desperately need a 3 and 4 that can hit open shots to play off of Dion and Kyrie. We also need a finisher to dunk Dion's feeds inside instead of flipping them up at the rim like a bitch. Possessions where Earl Clark is shooting off the dribble or Alonzo Gee is shooting a jumper on the fast break are the same as turnovers. A complete waste of the ball. They might as well just throw it out of bounds.
 
How much dick would you suck to have Byron Scott back?

EAYOR type serious question....

I kinda wanna trade Waiters while his stats are high, but he's my favorite player.

I think Dion has been the best player on the team this year. Im impressed how he has handled getting moved to the bench. He was the 8th player to come off the bench last game and he still came out and played his ass off. I feel like he is the least of our problems. I have also seen a lot of him talking and encouraging the younger players, which is nice to see. Im really hoping that someone gets in MB's ear and tells him to start him and see if we can get some chemistry in the starting lineup.
 
Does anyone think seeing Kyrie on a T-Mobile commercial after the game is just a coincident?
 
Glad I'm about to go out and get plastered so I can forget about this shitshow.

Our backcourt is the only thing we have. If Bennett sees a shrink or finds some way to calm his nerves, I am fine with picking him too. Thompson is still the worst of our lottery picks, but he isn't a bad player, he just isn't good enough to start. If someone else is high on him at all and can send us a 3 that can shoot, I'd be all for it.
 
no more

summon playoff gods and make him change his name to final tank

because if we see the lottery next season this place will be pretty empty

Yes there is light at the end of the tunnel, it's a train.

That person has to eventually be Irving himself... He needs to decide what is important to him.. Winning or just his stats. When you see efforts like his tonight becoming more the norm, then you have a cancer on your team not a leader.
