He's on one against Trae. It's approaching unprofessional at this point. i heard it in the car during my 5 minute drive to lunch. I love it. Keep piling on till the kid gets it and makes the necessary changes. There's a reason all these people who are a lot closer to the people in the league than any of us are all in on destroying Trae these days..and its not cause everyone loves Nate. Where there's smoke there's fire. And there couldn't be more smoke on Trae these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young is tired of taking the heat when it's really Jollins cutting coaches off at the knees. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL JC envisions himself as the leader of the team. Actually, a lot of media does too because he's the most vocal older guy on the team. So he's trying to sound Lebron-like and be empathetic while being disingenuous and not deceitful at the same time. I believe everything he said. I just don't think it was all said with 100% honesty. i.e. "we need guidance".. means. It's not you, it's me. While it's true, I don't believe that the players truly feel that the way John Said it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Diesel Posted February 22, 2023 Premium Member Report Share Posted February 22, 2023 Our view of Prunty will begin to change on Friday. We're going to blow the doors off of Cleveland on Friday Night. I predict a 123 to 98 victory. Everything Clicking. It's going to be so beautiful a game, many here will speculate that our players were dogging it all season. I'm going to start the crusade... PRUNTY NO PUNTY!!!!

As much as JC gets on my nerves at times on the court, nobody can take away his professionalism..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Popular Post macdaddy Posted February 22, 2023 Moderators Popular Post Report Share Posted February 22, 2023 What i'd like to see the rest of the way -maximize JC in the offense with more face up mid rangers -cut the leash on JJ and let him create -play AJ 25 minutes and try to get him more open looks -At least give Garrison some burn to see if he can be another knock down shooter -get Trae rest at the end of the third. let play the whole fourth. I will say OO has been bringing it and getting the time from Nate. Let him continue to split time with Capela. He's becoming the beast we hoped for. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would work AJ up to 25 minutes. Right now, he's slumping. It's not because of Nate or Nate's minutes. He will make it out but I don't want to ruin his confidence in the process. IN everybody's diatribe about Nate not playing young players... somehow AJ's minutes were missed? I guess it doesn't fit the narrative. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i'm sure the general malaise might have gotten to him. He's had a week off so maybe a surge at the end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the first time he's played more than 25 games in a year (think on that). The pro game is much harder on your legs with little to no zone defense. Lots of chasing, fighting through screens. I made the comment a week ago I was glad no one was in the allstar game, they needed the rest, then remember AJ was in the rising stars game. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad the rest of the staff at least understand the importance of playing the bench. Nate's 'we aren't in development' still rings from last season. You can't stop developing players. Even Trae still needs development. I said this a month ago. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
