Queen is better today, and he has the higher upside.
EDIT: I should say that Fears could have a higher upside if he grows an inch or two. That would really help him as a defender.

No, his value will be much higher at the trade deadline if he's healthy. It's pointless to talk about it right now. And his value might be higher in the off-season, although that's less certain.

When he comes off the bench and only plays 25 minutes, then yeah, he can definitely play in a B2B. This isn't about a change from the training staff or about a decision from Zion -- it's about Borrego using Zion to maximum effect.

No, with Portland's loss, we are only 4.5 back from 10.

Doesn't matter as long as we score every possession.

Bey was such an incredible steal. I think that no one really knew what we were getting, because he hadn't played basketball in 18 months. But what we got was an elite shooter who kept his touch while adding the muscle to dominate in the paint.

willie sold dumars on bringing in 3 years past baked looney.
If you had told me before the season that Looney would be stacking DNPs, I wouldn't have believed you. Remember that, before the season, most people thought that Queen was a power forward, not a center. Missi had a lackluster summer league, and I don't know that anyone knew what to expect from Karlo.
Looney as 4th-string center would just have seemed so bizarre.

I also think that a Russian invasion of the Baltics would be suicidal, but I worry that Putin might convince himself that it would work.

The biggest mistake this franchise made was coddling Zion,
The problem, though, is that we are a small market that has to coddle a superstar if we want to keep him long term. Everyone here was scared to death that Zion was going to want to leave. Half this board wanted Griff fired when the "piano scandal" happened, because they were afraid that we weren't doing enough to keep Zion happy.
It's so weird to me, because, when the Maya Train was being constructed, I thought that it would quickly become the easiest way to make this trip. And then the Tren Maya opened to great fanfare.
But the train station at CUN isn't actually at the airport and you need a shuttle, it only runs three times a day, and it's slow. It's no wonder that the train is losing staggering amounts of money.

Yeah, one of the key features of Borrego's offense is generating shots at the rim. Since he took over, we are now 4th in the NBA in points in the paint. Borrego would not have been interested in an offense based on feeding Ingram into two dribbles and a fadeaway jumper. Maybe BI would have adapted (impossible to say), but it's not a natural fit.

Athens was incredible. Don't get the hate
I'm guessing that you weren't there in late July, when the temp was over 100 degrees and the crowds were insane. That's usually the reason for Athens hate.

Told yal that trade was to get Bey, people laughed. Dude is straight up the enforcer and vet who can put up 30 mpg and sets the tempo like herb does.
Leave him open and he can hit those 3s. Great contract value too
And he's only 26—still young enough to be a building block for the future.

On 2nd thought, Fears really can't guard McConnell.
Like we are seeing right now.
quote:
Yeah, Jose isn't doing anything special tonight. I'd put Fears back in.
On 2nd thought, Fears really can't guard McConnell. I think Borrego is figuring that we can generate enough offense without Fears.
No Missi or McGowens so far tonight. I'm guessing that Borrego just wants to keep them fresh, since tonight is the first of 3 games in 4 days.
