How about you play with a little more Intensity before the end of the game and don’t let your team down??

I've seen enough of Frank Kaminsky to last me a lifetime.

I’ve seen enough of Montys coaching in close games. Why sub Bridges and Cam out when they were reason #1 and 2 for us going on the huge run with their defense and shooting?
I’ve seen enough of Bookers poor attitude and stagnant play. He has not grown as a player in 2 years.
He’s regressed. He consistently is outplayed by the other teams guards every single night. He’s not an All Star. He’s not even a top 30 player in this league.
I’d be shopping Booker around the league. He’s peaked as a player. I’d look to acquire a package surrounding Holiday and draft picks in a trade for Booker, or to Minny in a three way deal with another team.
Don’t tell me it’s because he’s doubled. Every teams star player gets doubled every night. He’s the only one that is e easiest “star” to shut down.

Can Diallo play defense? He certainly cannot be any worse than Kaminsky....

Yup. I was just going to post this. Credit to Kaminsky who played well (on offense) in the first half, but subbing him in for Baynes instead of Saric, who played well on both sides of the ball cost us the game.The Bobster wrote: ↑Mon Dec 23, 2019 9:35 pmWhere the game turned -

Is Booker more hurt than any of us realize? Regardless, our new training staff is utter ass.

That’s a bullshit excuse to me. He’s constantly hurt with little soft injuries, everything is always described as “sore.” It’s time to perform softy.AmareIsGod wrote: ↑Mon Dec 23, 2019 10:25 pmIs Booker more hurt than any of us realize? Regardless, our new training staff is utter ass.
Coincidence that his play took a dive the day after he posted that he was going to start playing Call of Duty and streaming again? He was up way late streaming online and then the next few days the story about his wrist broke.

Saw this same thing. Frank came in at about 4 mins left and made several mistakes in a row and killed all the momentum. I get he makes shots and spreads the floor but he changes the game with his multiple miscues at crucial times. It’s like he carries bad basketball juju or something.Shabazz wrote: ↑Mon Dec 23, 2019 10:05 pmThe Bobster wrote: ↑Mon Dec 23, 2019 9:35 pmWhere the game turned -

Re: Game Day: Nuggets (19-8) @ Suns (11-18), Mon 12/23/19
I don’t know if it’s Bookers complacency, he’s hurt, or Montys offense but he just rarely gets it going in the first half (or second half tonight). It seems like all first half if the shot clock is low it always gets to Dario. Dario has been playing better of late but he’s not ready for high volume scoring yet.
And Kelly feel asleep in SEVERAL defensive plays in the first half. I watched each one several times. I won’t label it laziness but he seems to lose focus after having to play defense longer than normal. You can see it in his face. He just zones out. Wish the staff could pinpoint after how many seconds each time because it’s pretty consistent.

I’m out of town (actually in town) so missed the game. Sounds like Kaminsky had money on the game and (not so subtly) threw the game.

I think that's a bit of an overaction, on top of the fact that he's on a max deal. He looked pretty dominant early in the season. I'm more concerned he's trying to play through an injury that he should be resting. Clearly something isn't right. And you don't just go from a dominant offensive player, arguably a top 10, top 15 scorer in the league to playing the way he's been playing lately just because you suck, you've peaked, you're a 23 year old on the decline. Something is wrong.specialsauce wrote: ↑Mon Dec 23, 2019 9:33 pmI’ve seen enough of Montys coaching in close games.
