Subarashi ja nai. Totemo kirai desu yo!

Yang as a second round pick is fine. As a first round pick experiment and considering the opportunity cost, it is a huge failure IMO. I could be wrong eventually but I have little hope.

Thus speaks the video nerd.....

To appear in the cumulative standings, you must have predicted at least two-thirds of the games for the time period in which the standings reflect. You must also have predicted in at least seven of the past ten games (unless 10 games have not yet been played for the season). December...

Are we migrating again?

Notable Coulda-Shoulda Drafts. Of course, this is easy with hindsight but still, even at the time some were questionable. 1972: Bob McAdoo (vs. LaRue Martin) 1976: Adrian Dantley or Robert Parish (vs. Wally Walker) 1978: Larry Bird (vs. Mychal Thompson) 1980: Kiki Vandeweghe (vs. Ronnie...

My only concern would be chemistry. Dame and BRoy both function best as the primary ball handler. Also agree with @42N8Bounce in starting Sheed over Aldridge and also agree with the Miller vs. Strickland. Both highly skilled and honestly, I would be tempted to start one of them and then...

I'd take Clingan off that list. He is solid but by no means a difference maker (other than occasionally). Additionally, as others have pointed out, we're trying to run more up-tempo and have a slower plodding center who doesn't seem to be a great fit for the apparent playing style the team...

By that logic, if you were coaching, the Bulls would still have won 6 championships with Jordan. You could have won as many as Pops with the same players. Not buying it. Coaches need to fit their system to the talent they have and then let the talent (players) win. Using the wrong system for...

At the beginning of the season, I made carving out time a priority. We were fun to watch and competitive. As @e_blazer said, with Jrue gone there has been no on-floor leadership and it has shown. Last game when we were playing without any PG's or realistic C's, it was pathetic. We had one...

Thank you. I have increasingly wondered how much can be attributed to coaching. Yes, injuries have killed us but there seems to be a lack of accountability and consistency. Thoughts? Gramps…
