LOL you are right. I thought I was the only one that was annoyed by that. He keeps going to the left hand drive too often. I know and he knows he can beat his man but he has to use all of his moves to keep the defense off balance. They know what he is going to do, which is why is turnover rate is getting higher. He also needs to make a quicker move from time to time and not hold it. But alas, that only comes with experience.

That trade doesn’t work under the salary cap.

That adequately describes my feelings on the entire season.

As for this comment above, “This is the best thing to happen to Knight”. I have to disagree. I do not think having your nose broken the day after you put up by far your best performance in your young NBA career is a good thing. My best case scenario was Knight building on his performance, not getting his nose broken so he could have the luxury of watching Walker Russell. I do like me some Walker, but I’d prefer Knight not to have to worry about getting his nose broken again – which can be a real problem with this injury.

Too early for Draft Projections IMO. What are the chances that any given team actually picks according to record or order? Its much more likely they’ll be picking in a spot other than #4.

That was a good game,although I really have mixed feelings about the win.Was I the only one hoping for a close game near the 100s , so that our young guys can get their stats,but still lose?
Nevertheless,I think there were a lot of positives in this win,such as the play of Jonas,Moose and Max.I think you should have made a bigger comment on Monroes game tonight.He really looked as our star cornerstone player.He was asking for the ball alot,and everybody was trying to give it to him.I enjoyed the end of the first quarter,or the second,I cant really remember,when every our attack went through Moose and he made something happen everytime.I also noticed that he gambled a lot of times on D.He leaped to steel the entry pass to the man he was guarding,a lot of times giving him an open lane to the basket.I think that he is doing that,because he understands he cant defend really good in the low or high post,so he just flips a coin and tries to get a fastbreak opportunity.
Also,did you notice that one possession for the Hornets,when Monroe stripped someone,the ball went out of bounds,then Monroe stripped him again,one more time resulting in a inbound for the Hornets,and then he just stole the ball from I think Emeka.I really liked that hustle and energy he brought tonight.

I have no beef with Stuckey because well I have always thought of the guy as a rare talent in this game. Unfortunately he had the most potential to get hurt this season and did. I think he is part of the core on the older side even though 25, and that really isn’t old. For a slasher who again leads the team in assists and can really get his shoot off anytime he needs to. Which is why i think the other young guys need more shots to feel comfortable in the offense.
Tayshaun is another story, he has been one of the most underrated players for a long time. And he still has gas in the tank, but it looks like we are trying to mix diesel with reg unleaded when he is in sometimes.

I’m definitely on record for being a Stuckey fan, in fact I’m one of 2 Stuckey slappies so as President we issue this statement from the Stuckey Slappies Fan Club:

“We of the Stuck on Stuckey delegation would like for you to stop being a hater”

Stuckey drew fouls late in the game and converted 7/8 free throws and finished with 17 points. His shot was off but it’s asking a lot for a guy with a sprained ankle and groin injury to produce much better. Stuckey has moments where even I can’t help but to scratch my head, but c’mon we all have to admit after that Portland game we was on board with a Stuckey/Knight back court.

I have no argument for Prince however…well except maybe he’s a lot better off than he was the beginning of the season and like it or not he puts us in a much better position to win than Daye or Wilkins.

Regardless, wouldn’t surprise me to see Tay get traded to a team that needs a SF and a vet and are at the moment pushing for a playoff berth…Utah fits that bill

We would want a big man, well Utah has plenty

Trade Tayshaun for Al Jefferson

Why else would Dumars give Prince a 24 million dollar deal? To make the numbers work for THIS trade to happen

That’s why…well that’s what I would like to believe anyways, is the reason we brought him back, then we can draft Barnes or Jones and call it a day

Done and done!

You’re right. I meant to say that I dislike seeing Stuckey and Tayshaun lead this team to worthless victories. Not saying winning is worthless but when it’s vets who have no future role on this team leading us to less ping pong balls I get irritated. That’s just me tho

Yea Joe Dumars will set them straight and remind them what’s at stake if we keep winning lol he’ll have NONE of that!
