How many winnable games are left on the docket? Dallas, Charlotte, Chicago… Orlando?

The worst hypocrite was Derrick Rose. It seemed like every post-game show interview with him had him talking about defense.

That was right up there with Isaiah Thomas talking about the Cavs defense. lmao

@43
Yeah, DRose has always been a tone deaf narcissist. Still is, as his most recent interview shows. He’s like, “I’ve got no problem if you don’t like me.” Then two sentences later, says, “‘F you” to his “doubters.”

FiveThirtyEight has us getting to 30 wins and Chicago to 29.

FiveThirtyEight’s prediction for us isn’t that accurate because it doesn’t know that Zing is out for the season. Of course it also doesn’t know that Chicago traded Mirotic.

I’ll cut Lee some slack. No matter what your profession, it’s frustrating when your colleagues don’t give a crap and aren’t pulling their weight. Lee does at least try to play the right way, so I understand why he wants to light a fire under these guys. He’s probably tried the “keep it in the locker room” approach already, with no luck.

Trae and 8 or 9 would be tremendous. I’d probably still take Mikal over him tho.

Re: THJr,

He is so miscast on this team, it’s ridiculous. I’m not saying he’s a great player, he isn’t, but they minimize what he’s best at, which is NOT shooting threes.

First of all, he’s too short/not long enough to guard modern threes. Second, they should really preach defense as his best way of scoring since he’s our best finisher in transition. He’s also decent at the 2-man game when he actually does it.

But instead, he mostly comes off screens and shoots bricks. Then loses interest on D.

I guess I’m more of a cynical than you strato, and all I see is him parroting his own professionalism and effort to make himself look good while throwing his teammates under the proverbial bus.

If Noah was still around, playing really well, and he said something like that, it would be perceived differently because he was a star player on a very good team and former DPOY. In fact, that’s partially why he was brought around. He was supposed to be that guy. Lee doing it doesn’t have the same impact because it’s kind of like “who the hell is Lee”. At this stage of the season it’s also kind of pointless.

Wow – the new b’ball insiders mock is wild. They’ve got Miles Bridges at 5! Trae at 9, Mikal at 12.

If someone above us reaches for Miles and shunts everyone else that’s left down a rung I will be delighted. Equally, it feels more likely we reach for him and let Mikal slide to the Sixers…
