Cant deny

Why do you think Charlotte wouldn't go inside against Noel and Jojo?

They wouldn't drive against Embiid. They weren't that concerned with Noel. Noel has been Noel for almost three years. He hasn't reached an average of two blocks a game yet in his career. He's not that intimidating.

Finally benched Okafor. What I have been saying all along. He just has not been able to do it because of injuries. I would LOVE to see Okafor come out pissed tomorrow when he starts but he probably wont... What nerd said, I think TJ may potentially be this teams long term backup PG?

Ya, he probably won't...only 26 pts (10-16 shooting) and 9 rebounds. He totally sucks.


ps - not a bad game for TLC...12 pts and 6 rebounds

Prokafor posts by Ground_Meat once again. He stinks. Could give a shit what his stats are. He had great stats last year and they were the worst team in NBA history. He is what he is-ISO post player who can be effective but ball completely stops when he is on offense, and is horrid defensively in every aspect. Makes no one better on both ends.

A team doesn't need everyone to play defense to succeed. There are plenty of teams that do well without having a team full of quality defenders. Kyrie Irving (another Duke player) is just as bad. I would take him in a heartbeat.

James Harden, Carmelo Anthony, Damian Lillard, Blake Griffin, Tony Parker, Dwyane Wade, Kemba Walker, and Gordon Hayward are all below average.

Noel is just as much of a liability on offense (which this team needs). Last night, he score six of the easiest points a player can have. Okafor has played exactly one season. Of those 82 games, he's started 63. I'm certainly not ready to say the kid stinks.

But a team also needs one or two guys who are good defenders. Noel fits that role. You mentioned his lack of blocks but I'm not sure that tells the whole story. He has quck hand and gets steaks. He hustles and alters shots. He's a really good 6th man type player.

I don't think Okafor stinks I just don't think he fits what they are doing. He can get a team 20 a game easily as a starter if they run the offense through him and get him the looks he liked. That just won't happen here. I expect him to have a good career on a team that better suits his game.

Noel has a role on the team. I agree. I just think he's very expendable. I also agree Okafor doesn't fit because Brown has a limited coaching skill set. If he was moved to team like San Antonio, he would most likely fit right in. I get Brown gets a free pass but I expected more from a Popovich disciple.

Couldn't agree more about Jah...he has value to NBA teams. If people don't see that, they don't know much regarding the game.
