re: Dumars on league direction "You gotta have some size around that basket B"
Posted by SHMILL on 4/24/25 at 5:33 pm
This is a great post and i agree with it.
I’ll add to it: Zion’s (as much as a i hate to say it) lack of a consistent midrange jumper is the problem. If he cannot add this to his arsenal, we’re toast.
And I’m not talking about 3pt consistency because i think he’s ok in that area, but the midrange is what will make him a great player - defenders will have to respect his pump-fake which will allow him to attack the rim. Or shoot the jumper.
If he’s not currently in the gym working on 10-12 jumpers, get ridddd of himmmm.
And again, i hate to say it, but at 6’8”, he’s gotta be able to shoot consistently.

Coach’s fault.
Should’ve switched James outa there for someone else after that first turnover.
Scheyer is aggravating. Call timeout and rip some asses and finish the game.
Ridiculous that just happened.

All this is effing bullshite.
Ingram was a good basketball player..he could shoot, get to the rim, and make a 3..plus he was 6’10”! Now, was he worth 50mil? Maybe, maybe not. But i definitely know who ISN’T worth 50mil. ZION.
AND no onneee wants to admit it! We’re gonna f around until his value is tanked and up against a timeline just like Ingram where we get peanuts for him.
It’s unbelievable the assets we’ve squandered over the last few years including busts for draft picks.
Mark Williams to the Lakers makes me sick. WITH Luka Doncic?! F.

re: With the Murray injury, maybe we should change how we handle Zion this season...
Posted by SHMILL on 2/2/25 at 9:03 am
Exactly, and no one seems to understand that.
If at 6’7” (undersized) you can’t consistently shoot an elbow jumper, etc., it’s NOT GOING TO WORK.
But please for the luv of all that is holy, don’t go and actually trade a 6’10” player who actually CAN shoot?!
Asinine.

We should trade Zion’s injury riddled, no jump shooting arse to whoever would give us a couple firsts and a solid player..resign Ingram bc he’s an actual basketball player, but keep him relatively silent for the rest of this season so we don’t mess up the tank, get a top 3 player (Flagg, Harper, Bailey), possibly flip CJ even tho I’d hate to lose the veteran leadership..
Sorry for the rant, I’m just MAD and bummed for Dejounte.

re: Auburn stuck with Pearl under fire, LSU fired Wade, hired a coach who can’t compete

I get it but I’m not passing on Chris Beard again. He’s won everrrywhere he’s been, and has for a long time now. The guy had flippin Texas tech in the final 4.
He had Texas playing for the title in what, year 2?
Ole Miss is gonna be a problem is a few years if he stays there, all it takes is time no matter where he’s at. His track record proves it.

This really shouldn’t be a debate:
Keller’s in Lafayette or Youngsville makes the best king. And it’s not even close.

Zion & CJ (who I’d hate to give up) for Desmond Bane and Jarren Jackson.

My goodness, he looks like how doesn’t even workout. Like bro, pump some iron errrrrday just for the hell of it!
But again, i blame most of this on management.
How you don’t have a daily schedule prepared for him is beyond me.
Wake up, eat healthy (24-hr personal chef, team approved), lift, make 500 shots, go home, CONTINUE to eat healthy, watch anime and chill, do it all over again.
It ain’t hard. A 24-yr old needs guidance.
Management’s fault.

He should be MAKING 500 elbow jumpers each day.
A rebounder and a passer and him. All day long. From each elbow. Per day.
It would change his game. They’d have to respect it. Then he could unleash what he should be.
I blame some of this non persistence on management.

And yet, the voting machines can be accessed via the internet. That doesn’t make sense.
They will cheat. They’re too quiet not to be scheming.
They let 25 million people in just to cover their arse if need be.
Stop the cheat and you win. Hopefully safeguards have been put in place.

So again, we’re right back where we were 4 years ago..same playbook, same plays, feeling good about our position…
And like someone else said, connected to the internet, for what?!
HOW DO YOU STOP THE INEVITABLE STEAL? Paging Elon..
We’ve had 4 years to answer that question..

Are they hackable?
That’s all that matters. If they keep it close and know they can manipulate the vote by however many = wala, they win.
It’s a good plan. Keep it close until Election Day, see where you are, manipulate in a few swing states because no one realllly knows how many people have entered in the last few years, and bingo.
The best part - no one can prove it either.
Republicans are so behind the times..if ya ain’t cheatin, ya ain’t tryin.
Bottom line: if i swore it was stolen from me before, id make damn sure it wouldn’t happen again.
