He was playing against Kevin Love at center and Derrick Williams at PF. What the hell was Adelman thinking? He's a terrible coach at this point.
Two stat whores going after each other doesn't scream "I want to win". Barrea has won before doing things his way. Love was mad because he was missing out on some shots. A veteran coach should be able to control Love's selfishness, but Adelman clearly isn't up to the task.
Is Aldridge now a stat whore? Or is that some blanket description you throw out there when you're bored?
Detroit has a great young core too. Monroe is a great C, and Brandon Knight is showing why we all wanted to trade up for him last year. And they'll get a lotto pick this year and fill out their core with Jeremy Lamb. Fuck all these teams with better prospects for the future than us.
Teams I think can pass us in the race for the lottery balls: Golden State Sacramento Cleveland Detroit Toronto
Eh, Monroe looks like an Al Jefferson with better passing. PF masquerading as a C and absolutely no defensive impact. I like Knight but the jury is out on him as well. Seems like a Jason Terry or Steve Francis type but its really early to project.
I don't recall LMA fighting with a veteran guard who has actually played in the playoffs, let alone won a title. Adelman lets Love run that team like Love is a #1 option. He isn't.
Both true SGs stuck in a PGs body who aren't going to lead a team anywhere. Terry lasted through the years with his jump shot but was ultimately a 6th man, Francis never got the J down and was cast out of the NBA once people realized he was a black hole.
Hornets sign Chris Johnson, the center we just cut. Mark my words, he has a future! http://www.insidehoops.com/blog/?p=9485 What's this??? My name being taken in vain above? I better catch up in this thread. I'm about 8 pages behind.
Damn. Just saw the tweet by Marc Spears. Rudy out for the rest of the season with lower back surgery. Fuckin Ariza. The prospects for Spain in the Olympics are not looking good.
I should go back 2 or 3 hard drives and find my Ariza avatar with 'DOUCHEBAG' replacing 'LAKERS' on the front of the jersey.
What's odd about Denver this year is that Rudy was playing like garbage most of this season, and Andre Miller is having the worst season of his career with a 14.7 PER (he was 18.1 and 17.8 under Nate) and his playing time diminishing, yet Denver is playing very well. Karl's best coaching job, but they'll be one and done in the playoffs, if they make it there.
I wonder if this is still related to that Ariza hit. I never even thought of that. Yeah, Spain is getting thinner. Maybe the young guy Abrines will get on the team now. Andre started out gangbusters. Now he's playing with a separated shoulder. As he said "if this was football, I'd sit out..."
On the bright side, Sergio just may make it back onto the Spanish national team! I'll guess Claver is going to get a lot of minutes as well.
