    Don't be a kook. It was on my B/R feed...

    Anyhow, I'm just trying to show you that the potential for discord and chaos is there because of our crowded roster and that it is being recognized by people outside of S2. The evidence is there already and it's only been two games. Practice being fair in debate and acknowledge the possibility!

    This wrinkle also exposes the halfassedness of Olshey's "vision."

    Almost anyone who can figure out that Aminu/Harkless as a starting front-court is doom itself and that playing an 11 man rotation is grounds for a straight jacket.

    This part of the season until the playoffs is so frustrating. It's past the trade deadline so we can't easily fix any issues. If only these last two games were before the deadline.

    My one-question quiz for coaching candidates: Would you build an offense around a 42% 2-point shot?

    With how giddy he seemed about the trade deadline & how sure he was something 'big' was going to happen - I wouldn't be surprised if he's struggling with the current reality.

    You're a kook because you always have some reason to avoid having a meaningful dialogue. There is a nuanced debate to be had on this topic but we obviously aren't going to have it.

    And I'm a kook because I should've learned this by now.

    If they were before the deadline I doubt that changes anything about how NO approaches it...

    I'd for sure find a coach to run the entire offense through Nurk similar to how Denver runs theirs through Jokic.

    agree...I've heard Terry many times comment on how when there are new players mid-season he tries to find out how they fit in the rotation, just like he says at the begging of the season where he uses the first half of the season to dial in a rotation then eventually little it down to 8-9 man rotation before the playoffs.
    I think you will see Meyers, Mo's and Curries minutes fall off big time as we get closer to playoffs, if we make it. lol

    I just think at some point Stotts will grit his teethe and really tighten the rotation 7/8 and maybe 9 men.

    Who do you guys think will see fewer minutes as the rotation tightens before the playoffs?

    what's there to debate? We have different opinions is all. I said my piece the first time it was brought up and then you bring it up again and use Jaynes as a support for your opinion. I think anyone that uses Jaynes is definitely on the kookie side.

    Collins. If there's one thing Terry can do, it's destroy the confidence, and derail the development of young big men.

    Not much when the Champions are the ones doing the sweeping. But you can wallow in defeat as much as you want. Enjoy.

    He's not done that with Nurk? You cant blame Terry for Leonards learning curve.

    The Pelicans are the defending champs? I must have missed that.

    The Pelicans will not sweep the Blazers this year. Thanks for making my point.
