What's new

If we lose to Charlotte tonight...

Dont forget that these guys won't have the bench Millsap and Al have. So its not fair to them. The team is underhanded.


I didn't see all this stuff before I made that thread. Sorry.
 
No Al or Millsap? I might break down and watch this one.

So if the young guys start and we lose who do we blame it on? Still Al?

Nope. You are missing the point completely. Most of us agree that we aren't as good of a team without Al. The problem is, we aren't much better WITH Al.

Kanter and Favors are/will be much, much better players than Al is. With Al, we are a 7th/8th seed. Why continue to play Al, when our ceiling sucks. If Kanter and Favors end up becoming players worthy of a third pick, we will be a top 3 team.

Al is holding this team back. Much better to not play Al, let the young guys get the time they need to develop, and if they suck for a year, then we get another high draft pick and can try to get a superstar pg/sf.

The other option is keep playing Al, be slightly better than mediocre, don't develop the young guys, don't get good picks to go around the young guys, and then get stuck in the middle, the worst place to be.

I think you are missing my sarcasm.
 
...if we lose this home game to the Bobcats, the Lakers will steamroll us into that 8th seed....only to be steamrolled themselves in the first round against the Spurs!
 
so whats the word on pimpslap. if he is not playing i am less exited about the game
if he is playing 25-33 minutes.
than i go back to jazzing my pants.
 
K, so who all is out/questionable? I take it Al is out for sure, but Sap might still play? What about Carroll? And is there any chance Foye misses the game cause of his daughter? The more vets out, the more likely it is I'll go to this game :)
 
Why not start all the young guns. Burks, hayward and carrol as well. Play them 40 minutes or until they stink up the place. Lets find out what the future holds.

In spite of Kanter's proclamation that he's starting, Al is still doubtful (as opposed to officially out), Millsap and Carroll are game-time decisions, and I think Foye will play.
