When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

Very nice.

Kibner I'm watching the end of my first full pelicans game this season and is it a common thing to think "god this team should be destroying [other team]. why aren't they destroying [other team]"

Yes.

Remember all my complaints about transition defense, defensive rebounding, and turnovers? That's why.

he plays like he's playing on a concrete court and it'd be very dangerous to fall down. The other players don't do that they lean a lot

It's frustrating because when they do play hard, they have a mental or effort slip-up that negates all the hard work they did previously. Which then discourages them further from working hard. It's just a downward spiral of energy and effort and execution.

I honestly don't know how a team breaks out of that.

A lot of that has to be on the coach, has Gentry done anything to redeem his slipping reputation? Or do you think they could use a shake-up when someone desirable (Walton) becomes available?

I'm not sure how much can be blamed on Gentry. He's not the one failing to routinely box out. But he also can't afford to bench Cousins or Davis when they do that because they are by far the best players on the team and his job is on the line.

At least he is starting to bench Rondo in crunch time minutes. That has actually helped.

The problems with the team started with Benson immediately wanting a playoff team once it was obvious Davis was the real deal. Everything is the result of that decision.

he's my second-most disappointing loss due to injury on that roster after Jordan Adams, who I'm completely convinced had the stuff to be an all-star but then he had like 5 knee surgeries and now he's overseas :[

I looked up and saw the score and immediately turned to the Suns feed and it didn't disappoint because I tuned in on "The Suns have done a tremendous job!" I don't know what he's talking about but that delusion is what I'm here for tonight.

Anyone who can watch this feed should because there's some good stuff on here.
