Deleterious Posted March 1, 2023 Posted March 1, 2023 The Atlanta Hawks have a Trae Young problem; Quin Snyder is there to fix it, one way, or the other Quote By that reasoning, the Hawks' 119-116 loss Tuesday night was somewhat irrelevant. Snyder was there, rapidly transitioning from vacationing as an unemployed basketball coach to the leader of an NBA team he'd had nothing to do just with a few days earlier, because the most important realities right now with the Atlanta Hawks are happening off the court. That fact can be broken into two parts -- one playing out in a divided locker room, the other in a Game-of-Thrones-like front office. Or so the thinking goes. Starting with the locker room, it's no secret there's a serious disconnect between Young, the team's star player, and many -- though some say nearly all -- of his teammates. He is not beloved, sources say, and there's a strong view that Young fails to lead, to understand or care to understand what is required of him, and that as a result the team will never achieve what it should until that reality is fixed.

buddha Posted March 1, 2023 Posted March 1, 2023 lol. and play with how many balls? that team doesnt pass now. porter, green, AND harden? oh my goodness... 1 Quote
1984Echoes Posted March 1, 2023 Posted March 1, 2023 Not to throw gunpowder onto the grill... But if we drafted Scoot... Wouldn't we run into the same situation? How many balls would Cade-Scoot-Ivey need? Does Ivey or Cade get pushed to the bench? Killian should stay there and he could direct the bench with 1 ball = happy camper... But what if our best starting alignment is Scoot/PG-Ivey/SG-Cade/SF? Just asking for a friend... Quote

Deleterious Posted March 2, 2023 Author Posted March 2, 2023 Oh boy. Powerade has a new advertising campaign launching on March 14th. It is supposedly the largest one in Powerade's history and will debut during the NCAA tournament. The face of the new campaign? Ja Morant. Quote

Deleterious Posted March 2, 2023 Author Posted March 2, 2023 Oh great. Now people are going to come in here and be wrong about Brandon Miller. Quote
buddha Posted March 4, 2023 Posted March 4, 2023 morant suspended for at least two games. how stupid can you be? Quote
Hongbit Posted March 4, 2023 Posted March 4, 2023 Let’s give it time. I think he’s got far stupider still to come. Quote
Deleterious Posted March 4, 2023 Author Posted March 4, 2023 Powerade about to pull that huge endorsement deal. Quote
buddha Posted March 4, 2023 Posted March 4, 2023 they took brandon miller off the wooden award ballot. that will show him. Quote
RandyMarsh Posted March 5, 2023 Posted March 5, 2023 I saw a few different tweets that said the league is doing an investigation about the Ja incident and he could potentially get suspended for 50 games cause the fact he showed the gun in Denver means that he almost assuredly carried it with him on the team plane which is of course a major league violation.

Deleterious Posted March 6, 2023 Author Posted March 6, 2023 The future of OKC was on full display yesterday. SGA - 38/7/4 on 58% shooting Josh Giddey - 24/9/9 on 62% shooting Jalen Williams - 32/5/5 on 80% shooting. If Chet comes back and is as good as advertised they are going to be a really good team.

Deleterious Posted March 7, 2023 Author Posted March 7, 2023 Jalen Williams has 7 less made field goals than Paolo. And he has 108 less attempts. Quote
Deleterious Posted March 7, 2023 Author Posted March 7, 2023 Colorado police investigating Ja Morant after IG Live video Quote Police in Colorado said Monday they are investigating Ja Morant's actions from the weekend after the Memphis Grizzlies star posted an Instagram Live video in which he displayed what appeared to be a gun while at a nightclub. The Glendale Police Department confirmed the incident took place at a bar in Glendale, a small enclave surrounded by Denver known for its strip clubs and shopping centers. The department said it is investigating whether Morant might have broken any gun laws. Quote

Deleterious Posted March 7, 2023 Author Posted March 7, 2023 Bob Iger is looking to retire (again) from Disney. Rumor is there are three names on the short list to replace him as CEO and Adam Silver is supposedly one of the names. The other two are a former Disney exec and a current Disney exec. Quote
