    You might be right, but at least he's using the right hand. He also hit a right hook a week or so ago.

    :Laugh:The right definitely ain't pretty but at least it's going in. Glad he's working on it and showing it out there.

    ^^ Gee, Boron. Maybe starting the kid and letting him play some minutes helps him develop? Could you apply that same template to Russell, please? It also seemed to work pretty well for Clarkson last year.

    Byron is gonna take credit for Julius's development but had Nance not been injured, I guarantee he'd be singing praises only for Nance while Julius rotted on the bench.

    what you guys don't understand is that byron planned those injuries. when he folds his arms, he develops telekinetic powers.

    As others have stated before, the rest of the season trial comment comes out and Byron immediately starts kissing the a** of both DAR and Randle. Screw you, you fake POS. If the FO doesn't see right through that, we have problems.

    It's already a problem to me.

    Like you said, this fake POS starts trying once there's a leak about his job being on the line. Now we're competitive almost every night even if Kobe isn't playing that well. Where the f*** was this? This is exactly what we all wanted all along. Sure wins would be nice, but development was always more important.

    Now he might be saving his job because we're doing the bare minimum of what we expected? F***ing yikes.

    Not to mention even with the team playing well we're STILL looking at imbecilic rotations, awful play calls, and just overall poor coaching. The only difference is his attitude has made it easier on guys to play loose and he's been more encouraging of the young players.

    Any who, go Julius! Keep working hard. If he keeps this up he's going to make the NBA look very, very stupid for excluding him. More than they already do anyway. Somehow Julius is flying under the radar despite outplaying just about all of his peers.

    I don't think Julius has done enough. Averaging a double double doesn't qualify him to be in the top 20 or however many players are going.

    Goes to check stats on the rest of the players, comes back laughing.

    If putting up 7/8 in 20-something minutes is a "bad game" or a "down game," it shows how far this dude has come.

    From the sounds of it that's exactly what he did. Apparently would have done the same thing if he got selected originally if I read that right. Can't link now, on my phone.

    Good for him. They had their chance to select him and took lesser qualified players.

    I'm cool with Julius taking a vacation. He deserves a little time off and away from Byron.

    I saw some bad attitude out of him yesterday in the game though. Looked like he checked out. I didn't like that.

    the cavs frontcourt is one of the few (utah another one) that can really erase randle from a game. he looked really small out there.
