    Alvin Gentry is ruining AD turning him into a jumpshooter.

    i be wondering, do we ever watch the same game

    when you say things like this, it makes me think we dont

    just say you dont like Gentry and leave it at that.

    Re: pelicans

    I honestly dont know what tf people be looking at when they watch the game. "fans" and outside observers.

    Crude up in here claiming Gentry turned AD into a jumpshooter and AD taking 20 shots in the first half. Well

    1) Want me to show you his shot chart under Williams? The only difference is he's averaging maybe 2 more 3pt attempts a game, if that. I think he was 0/2 last night behind the arc. His bread and butter even with Williams was the 18fter, then using that to drive to the basket if the D overcommited

    2) He is the franchise. You want somebody else taking 20 shots in the first half? Next post gon be how people taking shots away from him. Is it oochie wally wally, or is it one mic?

    Lost in this is the roster turnover. Nigs was complaining about Gordon and Anderson all last year, and because Hill doesnt light up the box score, you just gonna ignore his defensive contribution which was the primary reason dude was brought in. Despite his lack of box score contribution, i believe he was one of the few players that ended up with a positive rating. But how sway? ? had an off night...lol...it happens

    Also, Tim Frazier had a double double and took care of the ball which is what you want from a rotation player playing starter minutes.

    Hield played like a rookie, and wasnt spectacular by any stretch. I expect he will settle down and stop overthinking stuff, but it was very evident, he was shook af. Off the top of my head, he was what...2/8?

    Moore will have better shooting nights, not worried.

    Lance might be the x factor, but he gotta stop doing lance ? . His energy was very welcomed, but he gotta play within the system for his impact to really matter. Terrance Jones too.

    Omer is Omer at this point. I was somewhat pleased with his play especially when catching passes under the basket. You can tell that was something they worked with him on in the offseason. Dude finally looks in shape and healthy. I think he needs to be consistent at rebounding, but im hopeful he can be a contributor all season.

    Tl;Dr
    its one ? game. Calm tf down...lawd

    they dont play defense which is a staple of the D'antoni system

    they're gonna have to try and outscore everyone

    Rewatched some of the game this morning and In all actuality the inability to rebound may have been the number one reason why we lost....Im by no means making excuses for our poor defense but the Lakers were making some tough contested shots last night

    Regardless in whatever order you want to put them defense and rebounding killed us and the solution to those problems probably isn't on this current roster

    if anybody should be outraged about players taking jumpers, it should be ilbaka fans. Dude might give you 6 pts from beyond the arc. Is that really the shot you want him taking?

    I saw ibaka last night like "damn you fell off"

    Well at least defensively. He averaged 3.7 blocks about 4 seasons ago and his block average has went down each year and last year he was at 1.9

    So if the trend continues he's gonna average about 1.5 this year. That could also stem from him developing a three pointer and moving further away from the paint though.

    Rose fell off,couldn't play with jimmy(score 1st mentality,too ball dominant not good at creating offense for others) and the bulls had no intention of re-signing him and he became a non stop distraction .Trading him was actually one of the smarter things the bulls did in years
