Sorry but I can not get on board with that line of thinking. We should play to win every single night; not to cherish our assets.
Well we had a legitimate chance to win and Lou was keeping us in the game with his FT's.
I don't think playing Russell 35 minutes versus 28 minutes will have a meaningful impact in expediting his development. Look at how much Randle...
It's going to be a loooooooong season for Russell.
Yeah alot of it is not having enough experience too.
^ Yeah, I don't think he's washed up at all. He's moving well and making good plays. If he stops jacking up those threes he's still a very...
Our defense is absolutely atrocious.
^ well Lou and Clarkson were making things happen, and they deserved to play over D'Angelo who had another pedestrian performance imo.
@Lakers2015 Like I said, if we can win and develop players simultaneously that would be great, but we're not winning. So we need to change...
Seems we drafted Russell based on his vision off the court.
Hmm, where did I put any blame on Russell? Don't jump to conclusions. I don't put blame on rookies. This is more about who to play as starters....
I think some of you are losing sight of the objective. Yes, developing young players are important. But we need to win games too. So we have to...
@TheGreatOneKobe Agreed, no pain no gain!
The upsides I see right now are his poise and IQ. He rarely makes the wrong play so it's reassuring to see the ball in his hands. His shots are...
Jordan and D'Angelo are going to be ridiculously good defensively in a few years. I could already see the potential. This play really had me...
I thought he had a good game last night. Mostly high percentage shots with good balance to his offense. And I really like his defensive effort.
To state the obvious, tanking is not an option this year. There's a decent chance we lose the pick even if we end up with the worst record. The...
This...especially when factoring in Lou and Swaggy who are primarily threats from the perimeter. We don't need a stretch 4 that can't rebound,...
Man this thread is gold :Laugh:
