OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA: MAY 2024

Billups is underrated my ass --- he sucks as a coach -- PERIOD .. next

 

Curious, would another coach have led us to more victories these past 2 seasons and who?

 

You are just asking for someone to say Terry Stotts, don't you?

 

that is your best comeback you have is that -- it's not about the win or losses as much as have we really seen any growth in the players under Billups ?

I mean we have seen some but not as much as I think we should have seen and the systems Billups is using is not helping THIS team they way they are / were built.

 

I honestly think the one knock on Chauncey is that he has what I think is a system that could be great but for whatever reason Jerami and Ant aren't being held accountable for playing outside of that system on O and Ant isn't held accountable for being flat out terrible in this system on D.

If we just had young athletic guys who were all getting a consistent message then I love the idea of pushing the tempo on both ends. Finding bad matchups in the secondary break and exploiting them on O and then a ton of ball and player movement in sets. Switching everything and pressing on D. Just overall running opposing teams out of the gym. That stuff that Chauncey preaches is gold to me. He just isn't consistent with it and then when it's time for things to slow down there seems to have been some glaring holes in his coaching ability but that might just be the very very shitty rosters he's had.

I won't be surprised if Chauncey never gets a chance here to prove what he could do with a decent roster, I wouldn't be surprised if when he got a decent roster he had a hard time winning with them and I honestly wouldn't be too surprised if Chauncey was actually good at this shit if given a fair chance. In other words because of the way Joe and maybe Vulcan has managed this roster, three years in and Chauncey is still an unknown when it comes to whether he can be an effective/winning basketball coach. I don't foresee us getting the answer to that unknown this upcoming season either.

 

This is the best comeback YOU have? Not about wins and losses huh?

 

Wow? They really gonna put Scoot, a rookie that started this season 19 years old with this group? Not sure he deserves this disrespect?

 

yeah, that's undeserved considering the average years experience for the other 4 players is 8 seasons

but again, I think dismissal and ridicule pointed at Scoot is largely a function of how much pre-draft hype he had. He wouldn't be on that 'team' if he'd been the 16th pick

 

Totally agree. The hype and expectations for Scoot were way over the top. I really hope he is working hard this summer. I kind of hope he sees things like this and will set out to silence the haters.

 

How did anyone okay putting out a list that puts down players? This can't be official can it? If so, it's a bad look.

Players should be celebrated, not denigrated.

 

It's not official. It's a parody account I assume. The fact remains it's out there and people will see it. This is the world we live in now.

 

Okay, that's what I thought.

 

Still convinced Scoot gonna be great.

 

That is the downside of starting a rookie before he is ready. The kid started and played 36 minutes in his first game on the road against Kawhi and Paul George. Sure there are some benefits to that, but getting embarrassed at times can fuck with your confidence. He will be fine though.

 

Agreed, that's why I'm totally fine with Scoot coming off the bench next season.

 

what team :::
-is going to rip on the Lakers the most?
-competes with Chicago merchandise?
-located right up the road from DC ?
-nabbed an All-Star PG in the process to develop and rebuild with rookie Scoot?

that answer is BOSTON. They have really mean fans. This "worst team" tweet is quite timid for the typical garbage Celtic fans spread.

 

Another Cleveland rumor ... Yeah would be interesting if they trade Jarrett Allen package for Ingram, Garland for Keldon Johnson. Probably don't trade Garland unless Mitchell firsts signs an extension.
