Yeah, come on John!
Yeah the problem is that players like Dame shouldn't be forced to evaluate the efficacy of their teammates because of personal attachment. CJ kills this team on the defensive end and constantly puts Dame in bad defensive positions and he takes away from Dame on the offensive end because he likes to iso so much instead of taking what Dame gives him. For being such great friends and so verbally complimentary of each other they sure do play like they're butting heads on court. It's not their body language or even how they see what's going on, it's just obvious that their offensive games just don't mix together and are separate, while again neither of them can handle defending the 2 and CJ is a bad defender overall while Dame is an average defender overall. This is not the way to maximize talent but that's not Dame's job or how he approaches the game. Dame is all about making the situation he finds himself in the best it can possibly be. So we need a GM who steps in and gives him the best situation regardless of how Dame sees it with his optimism.
HA! I just got reading glasses FAMS! Maybe I need to wear them more often!!!
Has anyone besides flat earther Kyrie said anything about this idea that there is no head coach. Kyrie is a fucking idiot and I doubt that he is relaying the message the way it was articulated to him. I'm sure Nash has talked about respecting players and using their knowledge base but I'm damn sure he's going to be the one making the decisions on who plays and who takes the last shot and a host of other things that he will let the players voice their opinions on and then make the final decision.
He was all alone at about 5 on a game night. Went up, introduced myself and told him I was with the Blazers and I was a big fan his whole career. Dude kept his head down looking at his phone and looked up at me only to give me a dirty look. WOW!
Careful with this take? He was alone looking down at his phone. I completely understand your side of this but think for a second? How many times have you been looking at your phone in your own space (Even in your own head) and been interrupted and you stay in the zone you happened to be in while on the phone? Not saying you are wrong but this is 5 seconds that he can never get back if you know what i mean.
Not sure KD is entirely wrong on this. CJ probably could go become a sixth man on a great team and chase a ring. Doing it he might even be THE REASON a team gets over the hump to become a true contender.
I had the very same experience mtg Dr.J in 77.
Hurt huh?
Dr J had an iphone in 1977!!!!!!!?????
Even before pagers!
