Stinky Stanky

Whole lotta time wasted obsessing over utility infielders.

They thought they had Gafford replaced with Bradley who Coach thinks is useless. What a mess. It might prove that if an owner promotes cronies the team might be as well off as if he goes outside the organization and hires fresh talent for the FO.

He got a flurry of floor time just before the deadline after sitting a bunch, so I think they were trying to move him.

Didn't seem to bother Mark Cuban. And Commissioner Silver concluded he's not A.S. Unstable and crazy are still in play however, IMO. Coach Kidd has a job ahead of him.

Seems counterintuitive that the shorter arm would provide more centrifugal force but my guess is that he's trying to get his velocity back. Fingers crossed. When he had it going he was great.

No news is good news.

So being an elite athlete doesn't make you an elite QB or an elite passer? Check and double check.

He sits or he's in his usual position after a nice run. Writhing in pain on the sideline or getting treatment for godknowswhat. Yes. he's an elite athlete, but does he have a future if he reacts to being tackled this way for his entire career?

Whad'ya think? Worse than Jim Boylen? It's a contest, IMO.

Grain or two of truth in these posts, mixed with the statutory negativity. It's the appearance of a a soft landing for a HOF manager and likely to have no effect on the season. Ease up, you vultures. (and I don't mean the two posters I quoted)

He had 10 assists tonight so there's hope. When they're in a half-court set with him at the point, which is the usual configuration, it's cuz Donovan has called for it. If the club had a traditional point guard other than Dragic, who can't play big minutes, it might not be that way.

Still thinking about all that money for a singles hitting corner outfielder. Ryan Sweeney was born a generation too soon.

DeRozan was playing like an MVP and made it all look like it was working. When he returned to mortal it started to look like it does now. And Lonzo, but primarily DDR. Without assets, it's going to be a tough rebuild. They need to get bigger and tougher inside; maybe tweak the roster some to accomplish that with someone else's bozos off their bench.

Major money and commitment for a singles hitter, hope for an insignificant power surge all you want, it's still next to nothing, while KC moves on to cheap talent that they developed and our guys have so much trouble developing. We fools follow a jerkwater organization. If the owner was as dollar smart as you think, he would have seen this and done what was needed to fix it a generation ago.

The matchups actually favor the Knicks a lot. No surprise seeing them push the Bulls around tonight or two days ago. Unwatchable. This goes back to their tailspin toward the end of last season.

I have a suspicion that the iso at crunch time is what Coach D is calling for.

Reminds me that DC fans are calling the local NFL team the Commies. A nice touch for our nation's Capital. ?

You could make a case that Santos has cost them three out of the last four games. Celebrate. Or not.

Might have thought it was close if you looked at the score. It wasn't. Move some bodies to get back the draft picks they gave away? Then what? Jerry Krause could have done better than this.

Can't play the modern game going 4-25 from distance. PW shot like the lights were out only for him. I didn't see it but have it on the DVR, which I'll look at just to see Booker's show.

What was his BA w/RISP in 2022? I seriously don't know, but I'm not guessing on the high side.

Grinding my teeth thinking of it. Building a team around an offensive center entering the downslope of his career. Not sure PW is a good comparison with WCJ. Not that Patrick is worth the pick they blew on him. Either way, they need a tough 2-way power forward desperately.

He hit a lot of singles to the right of second base in 2022. Is his bat quick enough to take advantage of that short left field? Our own left field isn't Yankee Stadium either.

Impossible to defend Giannis, but at least they did a good job of trying. Zach's shot being off may have something to do with the knee not at 100%; just speculating. Things don't look as bleak as they did a few days ago.

His range is the essence of my original post. I have no quarrel with his overall accuracy.
