    Ok serious question where the fuck is Gasol and if he’s not coming back soon they should buy his ass out and bring in joakim Noah (unless he’s got an injury of some sort himself)

    thats what happens when your fan base perpetually complains about everything. You underrate and under appreciated your players and they eventually say “fuck it, I’m taking the $10 million extra and playing for another team.”

    aminu was shit on the entire time he played for this team. I don’t blame him for leaving.

    I wouldn’t be mad if we just shut it down this season. Rest Dame, let Nurk+Collins rehab the whole season, trade CJ, Baze, and Whiteside, fire Stotts, get a stud in the lottery, and build this team correctly.

    Last season's run was simultaneously the best and worst thing ever. Best for obvious reasons. Worst because it cemented Stotts place on this team for the next 4 years.

    My question got lost in the weeds in this thread, but seriously. Did Vanterpool coach this defense?

    What statistics?

    All advanced stat models had us as a borderline playoff team at best.

    Throw in everything else that's happened early on and I'm not sure why this start is a big surprise.

    About time to rename him Festus Gasol. Add it to Olshey's resume.

    Apparently yes that was his duty, but I've also heard that Stotts overrode basically everything anyway.

    Some pretty shit luck in the decade teams. 09-10, we lost Oden forever, and then Roy was never the same after his injury near the end of the season. 99-00 we had game 7.....

    Made the finals in 89-90 though.

    We got a bunch iso players and not enough to team basketball and this what Olshey brought in. We different when we actually play team but we always go back the iso ways in 2nd half of games and turns out back. The coach responsibility to keep the team playing team ball it might result calling early timeouts to get the team back on track.

    Nas was the only rotation player with a positive plus/minus with 9. That’s actually amazing. Too bad he only got 22 minutes while that scrub Bazemore got nearly 30.
