    Of course Dame likes Stotts. Stotts is a players coach who doesn't keep his players accountable. He lets Dame do whatever the fuck he wants on the court. We need someone with more accountability. If they keep Stotts, I will really have lost faith in the organization.

    Look at the stats in the playoffs for Aminu. He was one of the role players that had a very good series. The guy averaged over 17ppg and 9 rpg with 64% shooting from the field and 43% shooting from 3. You pass up all of those stats to focus on a .2 differential in assists and turnovers? He upped the good stats pretty much across the board compared to the regular season.

    Okay, SPD...give the guy a break. When he is talking about "sacrifice", he is refering to developing his game. Not a tough "get".

    I like Aminu, but he was the one who said they needed more passing. I am just pointing out that he does not help in that category. His weakness was when he tried to put the ball on the floor. He should not try. If we had a 3rd ball handler on the court who could also score, Chief would/should rarely be in that situation, even if they left him wide open like N.O continually did.

    Moving forward he needs to come off the bench at PF if we want to get better. Zach will need to improve and start.
    A SF who can shoot, handle the ball, and pass is desperately needed.

    I wasn't giving him a bad time, I like CJ. But in terms of developing his game what are these sacrifices he's making? Does he want the ball more? To be given even more of a green light to score? We know he's not talking about defense so these sacrifices he's talking about applies to offense. Just seemed like an odd statement to make.

    Come on,Dog, "sacrifices are doing the things that you have to do, rather than doing what you want. Really, not a hard "get" in the context of his statement.

    Okay but what are the things that he wants to do on offense that isn't being allowed to do now?

    Wants to post up more?

    Dunk more?

    Drive more?

    Initiate the offense more?

    Shoot more 3pt'ers?
