Re: *** Official Hawks vs Wolves gameday thread ***
i'm serious about what i said earlier about jordan clarkson. i'd rather have him on the team. this year he's averaging 18 ppg in 25 mins. makes $11.5M. everyone knows he's a no D scoring spark off the bench - that's what he does and he delivers nearly every night. i don't see how DLo is in any way better than that - only it's twisted to be a negative because we get his crappy D and uninspirational play/shrinking in big moments for 31 mpg and $29M. he's set up here as though he's a core player, but in reality, he'd be better suited in a clarkson role. that stinker he laid tonight in a matchup that one would think a young PG would live for - head to head against a hot young PG rival - was just an absolute no show. 43 points for trae - 9 for Dlo. what a gutless lemon we are stuck with.jodaman01 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 22, 2021 10:21 pmDLO is not a max player. Have no idea how he got that money, says a lot about the NBA. Just act you deserve the money and somebody will cough it up.somuchyummy wrote: ↑Fri Jan 22, 2021 9:38 pm doesn't matter.

I thought there may be an issue with DLO and KAT figuring out who should be the crunch time leader.....DLO has clearly established it sure the fuck isn’t him.

Yep, he's a fucking clown. Separate yourself! now hit the bench while I let another guy try to separate himself NOPE, different guy now. How the fuck do you separate yourself when you play 5 good possessions and hit the pine. At least the shill Peterson finally FINALLY fucking said ya know maybe it might be better rather than just taking a 3 or driving right to the best defensive C in the league to you know......pull up for TIME OUT! Did you think about shooting a 10 foot jumper? Hit the pine while we give another guy a chance to separate.sh1mmyya wrote: ↑Fri Jan 22, 2021 11:39 pmAnd I want a coach that separates himself.

And my god! What a loser bum that Capela is. Did he even take a 3? And look how tall he is. Big goof. I can see why the BRAIN TRUST in Hou wanted to get rid of him. What a bum. What does he even add to the team? Not 3's that's for sure. 20 rebounds and 10 blocks. What a fool. Thank god we don't have to use a roster spot on a bum like him. He can't even play 2 guard.

It’s kind of ugly. As a straight up PG who would be better for the Wolves as a Team, I would say Rubio is actually a better PG for this Team. He can make others better and he understands the game more than DLO.somuchyummy wrote: ↑Fri Jan 22, 2021 11:48 pmi'm serious about what i said earlier about jordan clarkson. i'd rather have him on the team. this year he's averaging 18 ppg in 25 mins. makes $11.5M. everyone knows he's a no D scoring spark off the bench - that's what he does and he delivers nearly every night. i don't see how DLo is in any way better than that - only it's twisted to be a negative because we get his crappy D and uninspirational play/shrinking in big moments for 31 mpg and $29M. he's set up here as though he's a core player, but in reality, he'd be better suited in a clarkson role. that stinker he laid tonight in a matchup that one would think a young PG would live for - head to head against a hot young PG rival - was just an absolute no show. 43 points for trae - 9 for Dlo. what a gutless lemon we are stuck with.jodaman01 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 22, 2021 10:21 pmDLO is not a max player.

Rubio is learning to be a backup and the level of talent he is playing with isn’t as experienced or as high as the starting PG. On the other hand DLO can do things Rubio just can’t do, but the Wolves are finding as we are that those things he’s good at and the things he ends up being really bad at add up to lots of losses.
The hope has to be that when KAT and DLO play together they end up optimizing the best qualities in each other’s games. Them together needs to be exponentially better than them by themselves.
KAT needs to come back and Rosas needs to address his gaffe at PF before there can be an honest assessment of how to move forward.
GO WOLVES!!

Does he not realize this is the exact reason why no one is consistent? Jerking minutes around and not having a pretty set 8 man rotation is why there is zero synergy and every single guy on the roster is underperforming.

I played against him in high school a couple times.

I think "Squanders" is a brilliant nickname. Surprised no one thought of it when Flip was coach, but Flip was never this bad. The son is outdoing the father in the 'sucking as HC' division.
I apologize in advance if what I just said offended or upset you.

Yeah - it's pretty common in the NBA for middling players who were high draft picks to be over-rated and over-compensated for most of their careers. DLO and Wiggy both fit very nicely into that category.somuchyummy wrote: ↑Fri Jan 22, 2021 11:48 pmi'm serious about what i said earlier about jordan clarkson. i'd rather have him on the team. this year he's averaging 18 ppg in 25 mins. makes $11.5M. everyone knows he's a no D scoring spark off the bench - that's what he does and he delivers nearly every night. i don't see how DLo is in any way better than that - only it's twisted to be a negative because we get his crappy D and uninspirational play/shrinking in big moments for 31 mpg and $29M. he's set up here as though he's a core player, but in reality, he'd be better suited in a clarkson role. that stinker he laid tonight in a matchup that one would think a young PG would live for - head to head against a hot young PG rival - was just an absolute no show. 43 points for trae - 9 for Dlo. what a gutless lemon we are stuck with.jodaman01 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 22, 2021 10:21 pmDLO is not a max player.

Everything I say is exactly the same. Well founded in FACT and all tied to the one obvious flaw in our team. The shit bag owner hired a tiny dick little dwarf who thinks he invented a new game, is killing everyone at it, and got a little scared rent boy to pretend to coach and insulate him from the half wits who can't figure it out.Style wrote: ↑Sat Jan 23, 2021 4:14 amLol usually your rants are unhinged, but this one is good!Thrillkill wrote: ↑Sat Jan 23, 2021 12:04 amYep, he's a fucking clown.

Don't even bring that no basketball knowledge shit in here. The rent boy is tarnishing his fathers name with every game he "coaches" Coaches being a euphemism for getting ass rammed by your boss and then um........telling everyone how you are doing it right in the post game.......umm..........ya know...... getting back to getting worked. Flip was an excellent coach who had more pages in his playbook than you have read in your entire life. The rent boy has one play. Miss a 3, drive to a big and turn it over, or hit the pine. Then he takes it in the postgame press conference because he loves taking it.Night Train wrote: ↑Sat Jan 23, 2021 8:33 am I think "Squanders" is a brilliant nickname.

Ryan loves the fresh taste of Rosas balls because they have never been in a jock strap. That's who the shit bag hires. Enjoy the few minutes of liking the future of Edwards and McDaniels because we are fucking their careers. In a couple of months.

Edwards has gone to the line twice in the last 6 games. How is that even possible with all the drives he's had and 56 shots?

capela - 14.2 ppg 14.5 rpg 2.3 bpg - shoots zero threes
wood - 23.5 ppg 10.8 rpg 1.8 bpg - 21 of 58 this year from three (36%)
if you want to shake your head in wonderment at anyone - aim it at detroit for letting wood walk away for nothing. mason plumlee hardly seems like a suitable consolation prize.

who are we kidding? whether Dlo plays or not has no bearing on our ability to win a game right now. he's not a difference maker. i'm sort of wishing that he stays a wolf thru the end of his contract in three years - he'll be making $31M+ that final year. and then.... when no one wants him on a new contract... we'll sign him for $5M - and he'll assume his true nba identity as simply a bench scorer.

At least if DLO and Rubio are out, we won't have to watch any of the horseshit 2 PG lineup tonight. Although Rubio likely starts and Saunders has him and JMAC play together, which is ridiculous but he'll do it anyway.
