Everything (2016-2017) Regular Season Game Threads

[special1]

Let us see how Biz responds to an elite offence. Judging by some recent posts, with Biz on Orlando we will be lucky to get to 90 points.

But but.... I hear one person doesn't make a difference.

Yeah a prime Ben Wallace would "HELP" this team too. It's not hard to state the obvious.

But it's not possible to get him on the roster right now either so what the hell does it even matter.

Mainly jokes but a reason why many of these disagreements go nowhere is that you have people on 2 different sides in a wide spectrum and when 1 person says something it's attributed to the majority of that side.

Usual suspects again. You guys love to fight. Special1, Christian + and bunch of JV fanboys. Story of this forum.

You guys seem to enjoy the deflection game. Have fun.

A Basketball game sometimes comes down to 1 or 2 possessions out of hundreds.

A block here, a deflection there, an altered shot, a timely rebound (offensive or defensive).... May be the difference between winning and losing.

There are other defensive players with potential out there....we don't need their offense so much. Just someone who fits (like Biz did last year). We didn't pay much for Biz remember?

Casey will probably start Bebe just to troll the fanbase.

No fighting in the war room. You got a Dr strangelove gif roc?

Because he wasn't that good before here and he hasn't been that good since. Perhaps that's enough evidence to make you realize that you might be overvaluing what he actually did here.

I know people will say "it's just one game" but last night really should be a wake up call to the team and staff. You cannot let your opponent score 30+ points in 3 out of 4 quarters, especially at home. Rotation, tactics, scheme - something should be different in the next game.

I would be fine with that if it means that Patterson and Powell start too.

"You guys"? Is that the people that aren't losing their minds in the early stages of the season? Or the people that acknowledge that this team as constructed already has the potential to be good on the defensive end? Maybe that's just me.

You seem to like giving Biz the "it's only been 25 games!" benefit of the doubt, but not to JV for some reason.. even though he proved to be a solid rim protector last season with Greer. Hmm

Rim protector and JV in the same sentence..... lol

He's a 7 footer for goodness sakes.... he should be at least solid.

P.s. The "only 25 games in" wasn't meant to defend Biz for anything. It's more like wait until the end of the year to see where they end up. They may be much better at the end of the season.

He's much better defensively 25 games in than what we have. Biz is still a good defender.

😀. Cheers

Is there any rule saying that jv can't use a Segway? 😋. Can you program defensive schemes into a segway? Just give Casey the remote.
