    Yeah i watched this pretty clearly live. Sharp is very very raw. Flashes of offense. Actually can stay with a player on defense when one on one. He has some court vision and gets some off ball tips and steals. His "Team" defense and rotations are very subject. He struggles still to know where to be. When he gets caught out of position it looks like a total team breakdown often.

    Isn't it time for you to start saying "Trade Dame so he can get a championship somewhere else"? Or do you wait until after the halfway mark in the season?

    Funny how the freeze-out of Sharpe is back after he has a good shooting night. Didn't hear much about it in the previous few games.

    Long season with ups and downs like many other teams. The league has approx. 25 mediocre/average teams with just a few legit contenders.
    Considering all the injuries and crazy schedule I dont feel to bad about where we are at, and if we get a full team healthy we will re-connect and become a feisty team once again.

    Chauncey isn't making enough adjustments to the defense.

    Agree. This is pretty much every season. 4-6 teams that are true contenders.

    I'm not sure what trade value Nurk has; I don't think Indiana wants him. I think they want to go young so would offer Nurk (going to a third team) plus any two of Watford, Brown and Walker for Turner only. If we can't find anyone who will give value for Nurk, then we might need to throw in a FRP.

    No they don't, they said we'd be better off without him.

    It's not me saying this stuff. It is things I see, hear or read on multiple platforms. It has also been brought up to me by someone tied to multiple coaches in the NBA. They are not making it up. Now it may not be purposeful, but they showed me data where it was impossible to ignore that for whatever reason, it was happening.

    "tied to multiple coaches"?

    Problem is, it's basically the same 4-6 every year.

    I live in the East Coast time zone and have to get up early, so I (thankfully) missed the second half. People who stayed to the bitter end: how did Jabari look?

    Dynasties do happen but it's usually linked to a great player.
    GS was not in the hunt every year until the last 8.
    Chicago has not been in the hunt much since Jordan.
    Spurs are not in the hunt without Duncan.
    Cavs without James? Or the Heat
    Bucks have Giannis, Nets have Durant, Boston has Tatum
    Who really knows this year?

    If we’re not good enough to win a playoff series this season, I’d rather tank. I know it’s a hard sell for Dame but the gain could be huge and he’s locked up with Blazers and his monster extension.

    He won’t solve the defense.
