The playoffs sucked but the team brought me a lot of joy over the year: Sweeping the Thunder- every win felt good Dame Time vs Suns- 19 points in 4th quarter for a thrilling win Dame Time vs Lakers- those 4 threes he hit in a row was my favorite moment of the year Beating Warriors twice The 3rd String 17-0 run at Houston: I know we lost but that was fun! More wins than last year. 8 more wins meant 8 more times to celebrate this year The 13 Game Win Streak- no losing over a whole month was a blast Our last win. After going 0-4 on our last road trip, we came home and confidently beat the Jazz, one of the hottest teams in the league Individual greatness- CJ and Dame each scoring 50 points in 29 minutes Al Farouq Aminu- stepping up in the big games as he improved his outside shot
I was actually thinking on starting a thread much like this. You beat me to it. Only positive takes allowed.
I like seeing major improvements on the defensive side of the ball. Now they need to work on offensive ball movement and getting better at hitting open looks.
I'm excited about the future of a Collins/Nurk front court. I wasn't sold on Collins at first but I am now.
I liked our defensive rating and rebounding being much better this year. Dame had a great All Star game & 2nd Half. Nurk showed flashes of being dominant and stayed healthy for a whole season. Collins showed some real progress and he’s only 20. Ed Davis had a big bounce back season. Harkless looked like a game changer before the knee injury. And call me crazy but I’m excited to see what Wade Baldwin can do in a bigger role next season. The playoffs were embarrassing, no doubt. But it’s not all doom and gloom.
Yeah. He did. No question. And yes I can give you stats from the beginning of the year and from the end that back it up. No I’m not gonna waste my time doing the work for you. Do it yourself.
Trying to remember what I liked best about this season...I'd probably say the 13 game win streak....but I don't remember what winning feels like. That Jazz game feels so long ago.
and just like is is for us seemingly every year, I want more than this You liked Pat? Nice guy but not a very good Basketball player, he needs to go
He had 24 points in our first game and never matched it. Someone getting his minutes needs to score. He scores 10 points today and we would've won. We always played our best when Crabbe got 10+ shots.
For a young team we made a hell of a run after the allstar break...real fun to watch..rookies got some playoff experience even in a sweep....Nurk hasn't played much playoff basketball and Zach's played zero...I think we have some promising young talent and hopefully know who to give a good thank you on the way out to. I love Chief and Ed Davis....whatever we do, they are not our problem.
My fav part of this season is that @HCP 's win prediction was wrong again. Maybe he'll listen to people next year. Doubtful...
The common complaint through the early part of the year is we had no front court. Once Stotts settled on the late season rotation, the Collins/Davis dynamo emerged and we suddenly had a respectable front court . I think they were my favorite part of this year's team. Glad Nurk got his groove back. He's probably a better player at the heavier size. Pat may have been our most improved player.
What I'm loving about the season is what may be coming in the next few weeks! It may not all be for naught!
After the All-Star Break he averaged around 21/12 per 36 minutes on 55% shooting. So yeah, he did. Your posts are so stupid and ignorant they hurt my brain.
