The Drexler thing happened 30 ago. What players have said it recently? As far as the weekly meeting, yeah that is over kill it was that often. But yes he is their supervision so why wouldn't he want to know what is going on?

I doubt very much that Kolde had much input in the past. (on Basketball decisions) He may have wanted Joe and Chauncey to keep him informed, but that does not mean he was influencing the draft, trades, or what was happening on the court

Have they ever had a road trip this long without a back-to-back? It seems unusual. Then, when they get back, they have a back-to-back. Overall, not bad at all. I think 4-3 is doable over that stretch.

For this style of game, we just need more depth. Losing Scoot and Wesley hurts. Deni gets too tired as he is running his ass off all game long on both ends. On the flip side, the competition is tiring in the 4th as well. SGA got a 2nd wind, but he looked tired around the 8-minute mark in the...

Yeah, it kind of supports the intentional foul theory. Most teams have an excellent 3-point shooter, so the odds are good they can make it because, as you alluded to, you simply can't get close to the shooter because he is allowed a very large landing area. Unless you do what Thybulle does and...

True. But he does give more effort on defense than I thought. So I think it is possible that he can improve. But not by the time Scoot gets back.

Based on who we have left on the roster, Sidy is the guy who brings energy. (and turnovers) I think he will get some minutes. If he doesn't shoot too much, he will be fine. But I want to see if Rupert can replace Thybulle's minutes. No, he is not as good, but he is long, and he does get...

What! Their two slowest starters are out? Damn, this might be closer than expected.

Hard to say. Hamstrings are tricky. Not sure if his strong work ethic will help. Not when rest is the best thing for it. But we don't know how he is doing. For all we know, he will be back after 6 weeks, which is Saturday.

Yeah, the game on the 30th of November would be 9 weeks. That would mean missing another 13 more games.

I think it will be 6 weeks on Friday. He got hurt on September 26th. No surgery was required.

I like this style of ball they are playing. But I don't think it is a fit for every player. I am not sure Zion would fit. He needs the ball in his hands to do what he does best. That does not mean he could not help the team in crunch time. I would trade for him, but I would not give up what...

You most certainly could be right, but everything I have read always says this: "Scoot Henderson is expected to return to basketball activities in four to eight weeks from his September 26th injury date. This timeline would place his return in November, though he is not expected to start the...

That is my guess until Scoot gets back. So if they keep the same starting lineup, I assume Grant will come in for Jrue, and Deni will slide to the back court with Shae. Then Jrue will come back and play with Rupert to start the 2nd quarter. Murray will get decent minutes at forward.

The thing about huge beefy teams is that they don't run as well. Not for 48 minutes anyway. It evens things out a bit.
