True. I can't name one 2024 high draft prospect at the moment. Armando Bacot - not really About the same time last year, I at least knew these 3. Victor Wembanyama - transcendent prospect Brandon Miller - potential Hornet Scoot Henderson - potential Hornet1/23/2024 11:22:30 PM |

I could see a team possibly taking a late second round flier on him just because he's a good rebounder. But he's never going to a rotation guy in the NBA. He's either an undersized 5 (LOL at UNC listing him at 6'11, probably closer to 6'9.5) who isn't a rim protector or he's a 4 with extremely below average ball handling and shooting skills.
But yeah he doesn't fit the mold of a modern NBA big. Plus he'll be 24 before this season is over. They'll be drafting kids 5 years younger than him.] 1/24/2024 12:37:55 AM |

Doc Rivers is an absolutely terrible coach 1/24/2024 6:49:14 PM |
thegoodlife3 All American 39236 Posts user info edit post |
better than who they had and not in danger of causing a mutiny
he’s not an elite coach, but he’s closer to being elite than to being absolutely terrible
Sidney Lowe is an absolutely terrible coach

More ESPN anti-NC State bias: headline for this feat is Donic scores 73, ties Wilt.
Just ignoring that David Thompson also scored 73. And never had a fan ejected because he hurt his feelings 1/26/2024 9:41:34 PM |

Damn th Hornets are terrible. It would have to be awful to be a member of the broadcast crew and have to cover every game. I'm glad I don't have time to watch the NBA. 1/27/2024 12:01:44 AM |

I'm also glad you don't have time to watch the NBA. And Eric Collins is still one of the best announceres even when the Hornets are this bad.

The Doc Rivers hire is already paying off. Lose to the 14 win blazers with some incredibly bad end of game coaching including (but not limited to) having giannis receive the inbounds pass down 3 instead of literally any other player on the floor. He was then fouled and proceeded to miss both free throws, a not completely unexpected result from a 66% free throw shooter. 2/1/2024 1:43:07 AM |

according to Bucks twitter, it’s the same end-of-game play that they ran successfully against the Kings recently, it just got fucked up
regardless, it’s silly to use one result a few games into his coaching there as an “I told you so” 2/1/2024 10:53:37 AM |

Do we really expect Doc on the Bucks to be appreciably different from Doc in Philly or LA where he was also known as poor at in-game adjustments and strategy?
He is a great player's coach. I think the modern NBA requires more than that and it's a shame the Bucks didn't hire Nick Nurse (apparently Giannis put the stop to that) over the summer. 2/1/2024 11:45:24 AM |

I don’t think he’s a great coach, but he’s what they needed given the circumstances they were in with Griffin
they’re more likely to flame out in the playoffs than win it all, but from everything I’ve read/heard, they were on the verge of a mutiny with Griffin 2/1/2024 11:56:16 AM |

I appreciate complete game in baseball more than playing in all 82 games in nba, but i consider both relatively equal 2/7/2024 2:35:01 AM |

I would consider playing all 48 minutes of an NBA game comparable to a complete game in baseball. Or playing all 82 regular season NBA games comparable to playing all 162 regular season MLB games. 2/7/2024 7:17:22 PM |
