Nice team game so far which is good to see building off of the Milwaukee game. Kemba Walker sucks and it's nice to take it to Michael Jordan's club.

Hobbs · 01-13-2012, 08:47 PM

Jerebko seems like the only guy that's having a good game and yet we're up by nearly 20.

Charlie · 01-13-2012, 08:48 PM

I have never seen a big use his body to shield away a defender as well as Monroe.

Charlie · 01-13-2012, 08:49 PM

Dude makes layups look sexy

Inbetweengame · 01-13-2012, 08:49 PM

I love Knight's all around effort with the boards, the block the kid hustles which you've got to respect. Poor shooting night for him but he finds other ways to contribute which is a good sign for a young guy and something Austin Daye should totally take note of.

DYNOMITE · 01-13-2012, 08:51 PM

Austin just needs to start averaging 20 points a game to cover his other weaknesses.

Inbetweengame · 01-13-2012, 08:53 PM

I'm a Damien Wilkins fan. Good solid bench guy not trying to be his Dad or Uncle just playing solid basketball.

Inbetweengame · 01-13-2012, 08:54 PM

Right Austin needs to score and he needs to work on his weaknesses right now he's not there.

Charlie · 01-13-2012, 08:54 PM

Thanks inbetween, its so true. Like you said its so nice to see fundamentals. The guy is all about angles.. its so fun to watch. Golden state fans have to be pissed when they look at him play.

Hobbs · 01-13-2012, 08:56 PM

Knight almost got picked again at the top of the key. That happens to him more than any other player I've seen.

Inbetweengame · 01-13-2012, 09:01 PM

Holy shit suddenly we're a hot shooting squad. The highlight reel from this game is going to be fun to watch. Brandon Knight working on a big man double-double.

I love the five assists from Greg Monroe as well. With the way he makes fundamental plays inside and moves the ball he can really help the offense in a lot of ways.

Golden State has plenty of reason to be irritated reason number one is Mark Jackson, reason number two is that they didn't draft Greg Monroe.

Inbetweengame · 01-13-2012, 09:05 PM

Looks like we're going to win this one but I have to say I'm not a huge fan of all the outside jumpers. Also I'm so, so glad we didn't draft Kemba Walker.

Inbetweengame · 01-13-2012, 09:10 PM

Solid overall game for Brandon Knight 5-11, 4 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, 10 rebounds and 0 turnovers so far. That's not perfect but it is good and it shows effort and improvement.

Ben Gordon a little bit worse than Knight but not terrible. He is what he is.

Good to see the bench guys out there now and fun to get a win.

Hobbs · 01-13-2012, 09:30 PM

Knight has started 6 games this year. If my math is right, as a starter he's at 14.5 ppg, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 3.67 turnovers, 46.6% fg, 46.7 3 pt %

Obviously those assist and turnover numbers are bad, but the rest is pretty damn good. Definitely reason to hope.

ghandi · 01-13-2012, 11:49 PM

Knight seems to be a pretty good rebounder for a PG.....Agree with earlier post saying its nice ot take it to Jordan's club.....He's right on par with Millen as an executive.

OUCH that is about as bad as insult as can be said....the millen of anything....is like opposite of the egg Mcmuffin....

Inbetweengame · 01-14-2012, 12:36 AM

Did you all read the Sports Illustrated story about Michael Jordan's high school coach, the one who supposedly cut Jordan? It was an excellent read exposing Jordan as the first rate asshole and liar that he is.

Really enjoyed seeing the growth today our guys really walked the walk.

Inbetweengame · 01-14-2012, 12:38 AM

Oh and I gotta agree with Hobbs Brandon Knight is showing lots to be hopeful about. The turnover thing should come down with time and I already like the fearlessness and effort we're seeing with things like his rebounding. I really think he's going to be a legit starter by the end of the season.

capnpaco · 01-14-2012, 05:18 AM

I like how our PG led the team in rebounding and our C led the team (or tied for the lead) in assists.

Inbetweengame · 01-14-2012, 08:33 AM

Yeah we're a goofy as team right now but tonight it worked well.

The King · 01-14-2012, 01:23 PM

How did Kemba look? I figure he will he a 40% jacker throughout his career.

Kstat · 01-14-2012, 01:27 PM

Kemba is the same old Kemba. He's Iverson-lite.

He's a dynamite scorer with excellent footwork and a cat-quick handle. He just isn't a very good point guard, nor does he defend all that well.

On a team like Charlotte, with few guys that want to shoot the ball, he's perfect.

The King · 01-14-2012, 01:32 PM

Nowhere close to Iverson. That's an insult to AI.

Kstat · 01-14-2012, 01:43 PM

I said Iverson-lite. He's got the same style of play, just not as fast end-to-end.

FadedMario · 01-14-2012, 01:44 PM

Kemba reminds me of Ben Gordon

Kstat · 01-14-2012, 01:45 PM

He's nowhere close as a jumpshooter.

tin mad dog · 01-14-2012, 05:34 PM

Gordon-lite then?

Inbetweengame · 01-15-2012, 05:35 AM

He's a better ball handler than Ben Gordon but Gordon lite seems about right. Too small, too limited, no defense. Why not see if they want to have both Gordon lite and Gordon on their roster? We send them Ben Gordon they send us DeSagan Diop and Eduardo Najera. They have shorter contracts and they're bigger. We pick up a free agent guard who'll hustle on defense and start Stuckey and Knight.

Dave Bing · 01-15-2012, 08:21 AM

Does every single one of your posts need to end with a Ben Gordon trade proposal?

Inbetweengame · 01-15-2012, 08:42 AM

1 Fuck off. 2 Seriously fuck off. 3 I have made very few Ben Gordon trade proposals of late. 4 As bad as he is shouldn't we all be talking about trade proposals all the time? 5 Again fuck off, I remember maybe five or six years ago when Dave Bing was a nice guy who had interesting things to say what happened to that guy?

The King · 01-15-2012, 08:46 AM

He has children.

Inbetweengame · 01-15-2012, 08:50 AM

Is that what ruined him? I don't know but I miss the old Dave Bing.

Stefan S · 01-15-2012, 08:53 AM

Inbetween, I think you maybe overreacting a bit.

Gee, you think?

Ryan has definitely slowed down on the Gordon bashing/trade scenarios, so let's give credit where it's due. However, proposing we trade him for 2 worthless players who can't crack the rotation in Charlotte, simply because they're bigger is pretty foolish, which is probably why Bing brought up your propensity for any trade scenario that involved dumping Gordon.

DYNOMITE · 01-15-2012, 09:21 AM

Dave Bing hasn't been the same since he lost that hand during that tiger wrestling match. Brutal off-season.

Inbetweengame · 01-15-2012, 09:37 AM

I may be overreacting a bit but I can't honestly recall the last time I got anything from Bing other than negativity and I'm tired of it. Very tired of it. I try to be nice to people because I like it when people are nice to me and I'd hope we could all try to follow some sort of guideline like that.

As for the trade proposal the entire point was to get rid of Ben Gordon's contract we could trade for those two who probably have no on court value (Eduardo Najera was solid role player in his day though) and be out from under the money committed to Gordon much, much sooner. One of them expires this year and one next I think and Gordon has either two or three years left. That was the point.

Also it's a move we might be able to swing now since they're looking like crap and might want to shake things up. My general view on Gordon this year is that he's trying hard and I respect the fact that he seems to have improved as a playmaker so I'd like to keep him. As our sixth man he might be able to find his shot again and hopefully up his trade value or actually become a workable part for us.

And I had no idea about Bing losing a hand it must make typing a real effort. As a gesture of good will I'd be willing to chip in some money toward a prosthetic hand though with my limited budget it'd probably be more of the Captain Hook variety than the Luke Skywalker model.

DYNOMITE · 01-15-2012, 09:47 AM

Ryan, Dave Bing has been an ass for quite some time and deserves everything he gets here. Don't apologize and fuck his hand. Arrogant bastard thought fighting a tiger would be easier than a lion, he gets what he gets. We should have a code of conduct on this board. This place has been slipping over the last few years. Ryan and I can't be the only ones who post with complete respect for others, it has to be a team effort.

As to Ben Gordon. We all want him gone, you just haven't come up with a trade yet that people agree with. I think the closer we get to the trading deadline, the more realistic the Gordon trade idea, the more support you will receive. Even dick face Dave Bing will give you your due if/when you earn it.

Kstat · 01-15-2012, 10:08 AM

it's a horrible idea. Gordon at worst should be traded for a late first rounder.
