To be honest I like Drose more when he's playing like Dwayne Wade than Chris Paul. He's just better playing that way. Rose has done a good job in...
I would be fine with this if it meant he was in good shape for the playoffs. If the season goes as planned we're going to play 100+ games. Given...
Obviously it's hard to say how much should be read into this. But the fact that he's having to take time off after his first game is a little...
The fact that Derrick missed tonight's game and the Bulls are in the hunt for another PG tells me maybe they're planning on him missing a lot of time.
My impression after watching his game w/ Brazil is that he didn't really know what to do with himself. Some bursts of brilliance, but he generally...
I think the issue of rookie vs. vet is a hollow shell. Ask yourself: when has Thibs had a compelling reason to start a rookie? Asik came here...
Oops! Yes, I see my error now. TBF....my deepest apologies. No offense intended.
Great find tb#1. My general impression after watching this is that Pau's going to be better than what we had in Boozer but not what we'll ideally...
Agree completely. I treat the shooting of Rose, Kirk, and Jimmy as fixed quantities and it just doesn't give you enough. K4E has mentioned it...
As far as our lineup goes, I think the big axes that have to be settled are Gasol/Taj, McDermott/Dunleavy, and just how much we can expect from Rose...
My take home from summer league is that it's clear McDermott has an elite stroke and he should be able to use that from day 1. He also moves well...
I agree that, most of the time, if you have two teams with equal talent it's better to have the one with less depth. That's why Lebron always goes...
Gibson Boozer PER 16 14.4 TS% 52.4%...
Very well said. All of this is good news, but this is what you're supposed to get when you get a well decorated upperclassmen from the draft....
I'd counter with an observation that I think you'd agree with: Over the years Thibs has proven critics wrong about his perceived weaknesses. He...
Brilliant words, Transplant. This post inspired me to look a little deeper into potential lineups and how Pau was used with the Lakers....
My observation of Taj is that he does just as well against good players as bad ones. His numbers as a starter were always very good. I think it was...
I think you're right that the lineups to finish games will be a more powerful statement than the lineups used to start them. I think our best...
Agreed. Of course there are some loose ends that need to be tied up.....but our chances look about as good as anybody in the East. Any team with...
When it comes to Mirotic I don't think the starting/non-starting distinction is important for the point I was trying to make. I used the word...
