When did I ever say any of those players suck? Our system sucks. They don't.

Tinsley did not have a good stat night, but he actually played pretty well. He was the sole reason we got back into the game in the 1st -- a nice push shot in the lane, a dance with Nash to set up a Marvin 3, a great break to set up a Marvin dunk. Yeah, he threw the ball away the next...

Our offense is pathetic. I get the usual Al was terrible posts, or this other guy was terrible posts, but one thing has been very clear all season long: we get no easy shots out of the half court. Tonight, we did well on the break or capitalizing on turnovers. But possession by possession...

Is Hayward growing? As for Jeffyball, the dramatic increase in guys cutting to the basket gives me hope. As for the "convoluted flex cuts" (my term), I'm not hopeful they will continue to work. I don't like our offense. Against young/disorganized teams like the Cavs and Wizards, Ty's O has...

Foye has been ridiculously hot. I'd bench anybody for Foye over the last 5. That's just game management. The problem is Foye will go back to missing and his minutes won't go down. I'm not convinced Ty understands what Foye's usefulness is. Ty thinks he has a complete game, or his experience...

I see lots of angst about Ty's minutes. I had no problem with it. My only complaint was not calling a TO a little quicker in the 4th. The offense was flailing. A TO to call a play would have been nice. But otherwise, the second unit flopped in the 2nd half and bringing in the starters made...

I'm sure someone has pointed this out, but the schedule gods really helped us. Not only do we get this weird stretch where we play like 4 games in 10 nights, but we play several terrible defensive teams in a row. Like getting a chance to work out the kinks against inept teams (although...

Finally caught up and I actually thought we played a better game against Washington than Cleveland. The offense is definitely playing better. We still don't get easy shots at the rim like the old Jazz, but there's more cutters and the flex cuts have actually been producing shots (as opposed to...

Favors is definitely the better athlete. But who knows if he'll be better.

Is there anyone who doesn't think acquiring Bledsoe is not a great idea? If the cost was only Sap, it would be a no brainer. If the cost was Sap + the GS 1st AND our 1st , it would also be a no brainer. But he won't be dealt until the offseason, and it will cost a lot. If everyone wants to...

What would entice CP3 to stay more? Trading Bledsoe for Sap when Sap is unlikely to resign (Griffin and Jordan assure that he will be the 3rd big). Or waiting until the offseason when they can trade Bledsoe for a piece they really need longterm? They can even tell Paul they'll be trading...

Just to set the record straight: Bledsoe was in the same draft as Hayward. They will both be RFA's after next season, not this offseason. Chris Paul: He is a UFA after this season and yes, the Clips can offer him the most money. But he refused an extension this offseason after they had...

Kyrie might be 20 times better than Kemba. No exaggeration. The same gameplan won't work.

I've come to the conclusion nerd only watches a handful of games and basically tracks the stats. He never has anything to say about the individual games, or plays that stuck out to him, or anything at all remotely related to the execution of team offense or defense. He probably doesn't even...

By no means am I suggesting that trading Hayward for Bledsoe is a fleecing. Hayward is the better player right now (arguably), and Bledsoe hasn't proven himself as a starter (definitely). At present, Bledsoe's potential tops Hayward's, but even that is up for debate. But in the offseason, the...

No way the Clips aren't worried about Paul leaving. Regardless, Bledsoe's value is much higher than renting Sap. And relative to the championship drive, it's just too foolish since Sap could leave when they would have had Bledsoe for another year.

One thing for sure is we don't have anybody who can match up with Kyrie. He's a Top 5 point. So it will be interesting to see how Ty handles that.

In the offseason? A straight swap of Hayward and Bledsoe is a dream. The problem is the Clips would want a little extra juice -- maybe the GS 1st (in the late teens/20's). But if Hayward keeps up his play then a straight swap could become more realistic and that would be a great deal.

No way would the Clips do Paul for Bledsoe. Bledsoe is their insurance policy against CP3 leaving, and he's worth a ton more to them than a player who is expiring like Sap.

We're not keeping Al or Sap so I have no idea why there is any reason to debate. We'll roll into next season with Favors/Kanter as we should, and neither can score remotely as well in the post as Al or Sap. We'll be worse while they get better, and hopefully they actually will get better. The...
