Strangely depressed

[Phatguysrule]

Coach Billups would bench Shaedon immediately after making 3-4 buckets in a row. It was like clockwork, Sharpe would start heating up then get benched for Simons.

Of course this circumstance doesn't apply to every contest, but it was definitely there. Billups did the same thing with Nassir, and even Watford at times.

After a tough loss last season, one of the post game reporters delicately hinted that Coach Billups used a messed up lineup, yanking the Blazers bench guys after Portland had stormed back into the game with fast paced young bench player action.

Coach Billups objected to the idea he was making rotational mistakes by stating the infamous "I'm riding with my guys."

I hate coaches like that. Ride with the guys who get it done.

In fairness to coach Billups, he’s not very good at this point

Not sure if you're talking about Billups or Sharpe here. Could be accurate about either.

I'm sorry. Hopefully by setting the bar so low it'll make our actual draft night better. Hahaha

Unfortunately, lowering your expectations don't translate to lack of disappointment

As a 19 year old that went from high school to the NBA. Was not talking about Sharpe

Ooh, yes please!!

That draft cured my depression! I am a Cronin Convert! Obviously low expectations is the key

For me it did!

Last night was just about perfect for me!

Edit: I was confused by your poor conjugation of "don't". It does, indeed, usually work and it did last night. I thought you were posting after the draft, rather than making a general statement.

Excuse my limitations to the english language (my 3rd). Grammar is not one of my strengths.

Personally, when I lower my expectations, I'm only lying to myself. Deep inside, I know what I'm really hoping for.

I prefer Miller, Zion, Bridges over Scoot. But knowing there is nothing we could've done about Miller, how high the Nets value Bridges, and Pelicans' requirement of Sharpe (if true), I understand why Cronin did what he did
