But we knew this TWO months ago. How anybody thought we were going to be OK in the post with the talent we have was/is/are absolutely clueless. And if I’m not mistaken, we just played a team that arguably has the weakest inside presence in the league.
Wrong
Yeah, lets bench our best player for JG so his feelings aren't hurt.
No way Fams. Yang is gonna be an all star out the gate. We fleeced everyone in the draft.
I'd be totally fine with putting Grant on the bench and he can take turns with Yang for the backup center role.
I LOVED not having Ayton or Simons lasts night. The starters offense and especially defense was amazing with this new group. As much as I prefer not having Grant start he's light years better to have on the roster than Ayton.
If he wants to play like Jokic, the first thing he needs to do is develop a very reliable short range shot. Everything Jokic does depends on that. Right now he has nothing.
I’ll tell ya what. My favorite kind of big is one with court vision and dimes. I’m excited to see where this kid goes. Just needs some time.
OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MIND! You actually standing on this statement? You actually feel this way? Check this shit bro! This is straight up JinxSpeed type level bullshit!
I saw Clingan making great efforts defensively and picking his spots well on offense. The team defense was very impressive at times. The ball moved well on offense and didn't have a center jacking up inefficient long 2 pt jumpers.
Were you scared to have JJ Hickson or Whitesite leave the Blazers? They were trash starting centers as well but put more effort on both ends than Ayton.
Something that was very telling was one of his fouls last night where he had no idea it was him because he didn't understand what was being called. Then the next play he was caught completely out of position and then on the way back down on offense was clueless where to go. Billups was simply at a loss for how to direct him. They better hire a coach from China that can speak English quick so things can be conveyed while he is on the court.
My point isn't that it's likely or even reasonable to expect anything like a Butler-like career out of Camara. Simply that Butler is actually a perfect example of the fact that who a player is at 25 isn't necessarily who they'll be at 35.
Which part is wrong?
None of it…. Just wanted to bicker this morning.
I fucking hate DA! Thats how bad our current situation is. And this is the last time I will talk about our center situation with you ever again. You lost ALL credibility with me based on your last post alone. Holler at me w=once you realize that might go down as MAYBE the worst take ever on this forum. And that takes some work.
Wanted to cause some panic.
Duop Reath is 29 - guy isn't going to making any Leap.
You keep talking about how so many posters here are going to miss a center like DA.
Reath hasn't been beat up in the NBA or College since he's 18 like a lot of bigs....at 29 he's not ageing out...he's super low mileage. He's got another 4 years of prime time. He's also got a new big man coach in Splitter. I saw Reath put up 38 pts in the G league. Rob, you might be right about but if he miraculously plays 70 games he's an X factor over Yang at this point.
Refs are not going to use hand signals.
Damnit, I missed the opportunity to use that huh? Still preseason, I’ll get up to speed.
Say less. I have this in my back pocket. You’ll take Yang’s stat line from last night over anything DA does this season with the Lakers. We got it. You feel Yang will help us win more games this season than DA would have. Say less.
