Weāre several games better than that! Iām tired of getting shit on by Vegas! This team is definitely more of a 38-39 win team without a doubt.

Agreed, when fully healthy. The biggest issue is Hayward may be injured more often than Zion.
Zion may be chonky, but Gordon has that horrendous haircut. At least Hayward isnāt a chonky boy. Haywardās injury bug is so unfortunate because he seems to take really good care of his body and seems to be in shape. Whereas Zion eats like an offensive lineman or a kid who knows heās about to get shipped off to fat camp.
I honestly think Zionās body is so big and explosive that it leads to the injuries. Also, he plays so downhill that it also leads to exactly what happened the other night.
heās injured again? for real? I didnāt even know.
What happened to him this time ???
Fell hard on his back trying to dunk
did he roll when he hit the ground because heās so round?

Quitting my job in a month and will have some time off. With the team actually showing a pulse, I may follow a bit closer and do a weekly column for fun. I havenāt done any fun writing in a long while because Iāve been so busy and burned out. I havenāt named it yet, but Iāll try to post a blurb weekly or so.

Eh. Iāll keep workshopping that one.

For what itās worth, the expiring contracts of Pat Beverly and Kendrick Nunn work for salary-matching on Terry, if Charlotte wanted to clear their future books without dealing with a Westbrook trade. Probably less likely to get significant draft capital back in that situation though.
Also: Flip Plumleeās expiring to Indy for Theis and a second for the salary-dump. Then flip Theis back to Boston for Pritchard, filler contracts, and more seconds. Brad loves Theis. Yes, Iām proposing this primarily for the Cās benefit.
800 words into my first article! woot!

I laughed when I read the hornets signed DSJ. I thought it was a new level of desperation and futility. Looking at those clips of broken DSJ, I wasnāt wrong in my thinking. But now, what a totally different player. I need to take a dive into the analytics and advanced stats .
The general trend is they canāt get right (life shout-out) but this seems to be an exception.
Again, if Iām running the team, this makes Terry completely expendable but still preserving future roster construction

Unbelievable! Especially the 3pt rankings. Would have never thought that. Give credit to coaching staff, and the guys for buying in and giving the effort. Nice start so far.

Thatās nutsā¦ we are finally stopping the 3 point shot. Itās funnyā¦ It feels so normal to have Clifford back as our coach. I really did miss the guy. I wanted JB at the time, but you can already tell Clifford is a much better coach.

thatās so crazy to see. last year we were absolutely crushed by rebounding, second chance points, and giving up threes like crazy. And there was always talk about addressing it, but it always turned out to be lip service.
I wonder how much DSJās defensive efforts and Nic richardsā rebounding has contributed to this? probably quite a bit.
