I think I’ve lost interest in this particular iteration of the team

I think this iteration of the team has lost interest in this iteration of the team. There's anti-energy out there.

 

[B-Roy]

Grant has played 17 mins and only has a rebound. What are we even doing

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Scoot Henderson seems to be one of those players who never learns. He may never be any better than this.

Reminds me of Telfair having all this pre draft hype but we never are it on the court.

Doubt we can flip Scoot for a Brandon Roy

 

[blazerfan11]

Grant and Simons combined for impressive 2-16 shooting in the first half .

Definitely bad juju. They’re just going through the motions.

 

[blazerfan11]

Sit Simons and Grant to start the 2nd half and replace them with Banton and Avdija. I wish.

Play Sharpa and Avdija as many minutes as possible. Their next game isn't until Friday.

Lucky for them in Chauncey's offense only 2 at most have to move on a given offensive possession.

 

[42N8Bounce]

When they asked Billups what he expected from Scoot in his return from injury, he said he wants Scoot to "keep being Scoot." Umm, I don't know about you, but what we've seen from Scoot so far this year, I want to see something better than that. Be better Billups.

 

[B-Roy]

All the starters on track to play 36 minutes, even through they’re all shit. Awesome.

 

[PCmor7]

When Dalton Knecht dunks twice on you, I've seen enough.

This game will be out of hand soon enough that Chauncey won't play them much in the 4Q.

 

[Blazinaway]

I don't think are vets have any value. they are having awful seasons

 

[Cugel]

Grant has played 17 mins and only has a rebound. What are we even doing

That has to be some sort of a record. There just is no rhyme or reason to this team. It is, without question, a complete shit show.

 

[PCmor7]

Laker announcers said the other night against Utah was the first time since the first week of November that Grant shot better than 50% in a game.

He looks like he's completely checked out.

Knecht #4

Good game:

So what you’re saying is tanking to try and draft a future all star doesn’t always work either?

Exactly.

 

[e_blazer]

Man, Sharpe has a lot to learn.

 

[PCmor7]

Michael Holton stressing the exact same things I've been posting about, like the lack of ball movement.

 

[Blazinaway]

Cronin, Chauncy they need to go

 

[PCmor7]

Man, Sharpe has a lot to learn.

He's been very uninspiring since coming back from injury. Although, to be fair, he's one of the guys on this team that I think would benefit the most from getting away from this iso, dribble-heavy 1980s style offense.

He just keeps trying to force things where there’s no advantage and then gets stripped.

That's Chauncey's offense. No one moves to give the dribbler a bit of a lane by moving defenders out of help positions.

I’d be okay with giving Holton a shot as coach.

 

[Chris Craig]

Scoot!

 

[42N8Bounce]

Scoot Henderson with the halfcourt shot at the end of the 3rd!

That's the problem. Scoot's been shooting too close to the hoop. Backup dude!

 

[Cugel]

Holton is great.

 

[B-Roy]

Chauncey is gonna put the starters back in….

Punt the starters into the moon

 

[Cugel]

Scoot has the best plus minus at a neutral 0.
