    I usually do not like playing the what if's, but the "shooting era" is a little
    Factor in refs destroying games worse now then ever before.

    ^ that too. Also, season is too long and we're missing some stars (KD, Steph, Zion). Regular season is boring as hell, should be 70 games and top 12-14 teams. This would get rid of the load management and meaningles games.

    Except Harden doesn't play in 20% of games... so there goes that theory.

    Ratings down because a lot of the national games ended up going to bad teams.
    GSW weren't suppose to be this bad. Zion was suppose to be entertaining not in a suit. Etc. Etc.

    My only complaint is no one dribbled the ball off Murray’s head to end the game. I’ll settle for him crying for foul calls to the refs and dribbling out a loss at home though.

    NBA ratings are down because the biggest attractions such as Kyrie, KD, Curry, and Zion are all inactive. Those are easily the four of the top 5 (arguably) most exciting players to watch with the other being LeBron James. Stars made the NBA what it is today. Warriors being in that many nationally televised games has backfired against them and Zion was expected to be the best show in the NBA until it wasn't. As much as I dislike Kyrie's erratic personality, he's one of the most exciting players in the NBA. Then you have guys like Kawhi taking paternity leave every other game and fans get turned off. Seems like the only show that is cooking are the Lakers...

    Yeah, what's going on with that. At times he's been our clear cut third-best player this season? Did he need an IV at half and not get it?

    Been following Green closely the past couple seasons (fantasy basketball where in theory a player like him would round out my teams pretty well). He goes through shooting slumps A LOT. he could go 4/5, 3/6, 4/7 and then 1/7, 2/8 etc pretty easily. His defense is still solid and he picked up his rebounding this game but dude needs to nail his shots, lets hope he doesn't lose it when games matter most.

    He’s a playoff guy like Rondo. Not worried at all. But I would like to see more 3pt shooting from Daniels and Cook. They need to get established because that is what they were brought here for.

    Well that settles it. I guess we should just trade him now then.

    You laugh but he's shooting 56% TS with a 5 to 2 assist/turnover ratio. 40% from three. He's trending to 13 points per game while Danny is at 8 PPG.

    I agreed he looked very average when we saw him but he looks like he might pan out to be a serviceable backup point guard.

    His defensive rating is atrocious, but his entire team is poor on defense.

    Again Danny is getting paid over 14 million and IT is only getting 2 million. Very good value at that price.

    Defense is why no one wants any part of him ever again! For Danny Green who is strong on defense, can shoot the 3 and is not a midget? You pick the damnedest most unpopular causes to champion. Why is that?
