This Is Cho's Defining Hour

[THE HCP]

How about this hour?

Steve Kerr hasn't given up on G.O., and neither have I doggone it!!

C'mon. It is so much better to be able to see the future and know that he is worthless moving forward.

Maybe Cho should be like KP and fire the coach and then coach the team himself for the rest of the season.

In all seriousness, just what the fuck is it going to take? Getting hit by a semi-truck and being put in traction for six months? A MRSA infection and subsequent foot amputation? Ballooning up to 600 pounds?

Shawn Kemp part II. 10 years from now, some people will still be waiting for that comeback.

Fans get that luxury. Teams don't.

Nobody could figure out what happened to that guy... he ballooned during the lockout and never got back in shape.

One definition of insanity is repeating the same action over and over - and expecting a different result. Seriously, why would you expect anything to change in 2011, or 2012, or whenever? After 4 seasons, you still don't believe the data?

Not data like this. Not much at all. The injuries are not closely correlated to one another as far as I (or any medical authority I've ever seen quoted) can tell.

If I roll a five or six on a standard six-sided die nine times out of ten I'm not going to bet against it being less than five on the next roll.

In any event, it's not binary. Oden is not either all the way back or broken altogether. There is a massive spectrum that he could fall in, and given how high his upside was pre-injuries and how young he is, I think that there is still a very good chance that he's at least a starting-level NBA center.

Really? Two non-contact articular cartilage injuries, one to each knee, each requiring a microfracture procedure to treat it ... not related ... really?

 

[MARIS61]

The one thing I find interesting is the lack of info we have been given about Cho's plans. With KP it seemed we heard from him way more often.

Larry Miller runs this team.

KP refused to be his stooge, and was hampered greatly by Miller's lack of knowledge and wealth of arrogance.

The Choad is merely Miller's designated gofer and scapegoat, nothing more.

The problem is, we all define "related" differently. Some people want a singular cause, while others are happy with a general pattern.

Bayless - 8-16, 23pts, 6asts, 7rebs, 5-7 from 3

Armon Johnson, Patty Mills....lol

I pretty much hate Cho already.

Bayless - 8-16, 23pts, 6asts, 7rebs, 5-7 from 3

Armon Johnson, Patty Mills....lol

Yeah, that trade looks pretty bad in hindsight. I wonder why Bayless showed so little in the pre-season, when said pre-season has turned out to be so prescient overall.

By the way, that girl you were dating 5 years ago that said she just needed to step out for a breath of fresh air and never came back ... there's still hope.

Did we ever find out if he switched to deodorant?

 

[MARIS61]

Bayless is shooting .399, .308 from the arc, for 6.7 pts a game.

Whoopee.

No doubt. He's not even as good as Sergio. Sorry, but it's the truth!

Few are.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Cho hasn't done jack shit since becoming the GM.

The $83,000 he 'earns' every month sure looks like easy money.

There is a silver lining in this current idle management - At least he's not telling the media every chance he gets that "we love our guys" and "we're family" like Kevin Pritchard used to do.

lol. I had a feeling you were box score watching waiting for Bayless to have a good game so you could use it to bash Cho.

I can read you like a book.

Bayless has about 3 of those types of games a year....Now back to his regular 2-7, 4 pts, 1 ast, 1 reb thats the Bayless we all know and love.

* Against the Knicks.

In a LOSS to the Knicks no less.

The Bayless trade is still a good one since it got rid of an insanely inconsistent player. If people think that Bayless being on the bench would any sort of cure for the current mess the Blazers are in, they are grasping at straws.

12.3pts
3.7asts
47% FG%
59% 3FG%

in 6 games for Toronto

The Blazers certainly couldn't use that right now, from a 22-year-old no less. Armon Johnson and Patty Mills are definitely better options.

Choad can take his computer and fuck off.

Bayless has had 3 of those games already, so I guess he will suck the rest of the year?

Bayless is a decent player that could have really helped us this year. If Cho uses that pick on a huge upgrade then great, but if we land another Euro to stash it was a fail.

lol, its been 6 games. You don't think 1 game of 23 pts in that 6 game stretch isn't going to influence the average?

He's had two good games against the Wizards and Knicks. No defense and Triano's system will do that. I said when he got traded that I thought Toronto was a great fit for him.

He's still not a good player and I don't think it was a mistake getting rid of him. Horribly inconsistent and only really brings one good skill. Matthews is just as good at drawing fouls, so its not really much of a loss.

Lol, he's only 22. You don't think he will keep on improving?

(while Armon and Patty struggle to stay in the league)

Weakening an already average bench isn't a loss? Hmm.

In the meantime, we get Armon and Patty. Yay!
