Not a basketball observation. The whole disrespecting Nas thing though? I dont get it? What is the purpose? Boy needs to be put over the knee
I know, to wear a fake Nas t-shirt in NYC. He knew what he was doing. Maybe he did it for the attention. Maybe the apple really doesn't fall far from the tree haha. Nas only had one classic album anyways.
I did find it ironic earlier that day (before the Zo shirt) I was bumping Illmatic while driving my daughter to preschool... lol.
Only one? go to sleep he had at least 3 and two of them was instant classics _________________ Coach Vogel, Kidd, Hollins

Don't know why we'd appease KCP. He isn't a part of the team's future unless he accepts a bench role as if Luke actually acknowledged Kuzma and Ingram can play 2 and 3 there's no reason he'd start. _________________ How NBA 2K18 failed the All-Time Lakers:

no...no they can't. Come on MJST, I expect more...no way Kuzma can play #2, and BI cannot play it well.

dare you to get one and wear it through Brooklyn or Queens....you will probably gain a newfound appreciation for the hardness of bricks.
I think the dumbest thing he will have ever said for the entirety of his life.. and also makes me question his intelligence is him saying Nas isn't hip hop and he prefers Migos.
Dumbest shet I've heard this year. I guess that's why our youth are so ignorant.

Kuzma can play the 3 and BI can play the 2.
BI got played the 2 for a game this season and put up 25 when he did. So obviously he had success there.
Ingram at the 2:
Kuzma can play the 3/4, which is very apparent in his playstyle. If Luke acknowledged this things would be much better off. _________________ How NBA 2K18 failed the All-Time Lakers:

first, I think most would agree that the game you reference was an anomaly in several ways. Second, offense is not the issue with BI playing the #2...he is not quick enough nor does he have the agility to play the #2 for heavy minutes. In the game you reference, the Suns guards scored 69 points on the night on less than average shooting for the game, while BI had one of the best shooting nights in his career.

Brooklyn? The place where the Nets play? The place that went through gentrification and kicked a bunch of people out? The place that is the hipster capital of the east? The place that HBO's Girls was filmed? I think he'll be fine with that hoodie. Plus Nas is originally from Queens and he lives in ATL now. It's not like it was a Biggie or Jay (Who lives in LA now) shirt.

I think the offense would be a problem as well. Can Ingram really run any actions designed for 2s? Like those off screen 3s that KCP chucks up at alarming rates -- Ingram couldn't even hit open ones because his footwork isn't there yet.

that's cute, someone has a Yahoo News feed....if you think what you listed is fully representative of Brooklyn, then you do not know much about Brooklyn. A lot of people live in other places...places they do not consider home....and both Brooklyn (where Nas was born) and Queens (where he later moved to as a child) claim Nas. If you do not think Nas has love in Brooklyn....then again, you do not know Brooklyn.
Brooklyn has over 2.6 Million people...that is twice the population of the city of San Diego.....damn near close to the size of the entire county of San Diego....and you think some coffee shops and boutiques around Barclay's center made all of Brooklyn turn into Mayberry....

You're aware both of those things are contradictory right?
"He won't have a problem scoring at the 2" "the problem is he doesn't have the agility to play the 2 for long stretches"
You mean like he did in the game I linked?
You're also aware that that BI can still defend the 3 on defense, use his length to defend the 2 on defense as well, and you can have Kuzma on the switching 2s and 3s which would body him a lot less than the 4s, and Randle would be the guy switching on the perimeter when they screen Ingram and Lopez would be the one at the paint to rim protect....
That's why it's not a 1 on 1 game, that's why those kind of things can be done.
Both Kuzma and Ingram have the length to bother perimeter players, and Randle has the ability to switch on any position and defend it. Lopez is also the best rim protector and post protector on our team.
Once more defense isn't the problem with this team, offense is. The fact we suffered no defensive setback when Larry wasn't here despite how people talk about Kuzma's defense, should say something.
In fact GT has been digging into Larry's [expletive] for his defensive issues since returning.
So again, what is Larry contributing that deserves him to be in the starting lineup? At least an argument can be made for KCP, there's none for Larry at this point.
So once more, I'd like to see Luke give Ingram some run at the 2 and Kuzma some run at the 3 as well as Randle some run at the 4. It would also eliminate the random "Why is Luke playing that guy?" moments.

^^^^he scored 25 points on Devin Booker...is that your "proof"? Your right, defense is not the problem with this team, because KCP and Hart defend the #2.....if Ingram is defending the #2, defense will be more of a problem.
Ingram is a #3, that likely will transition into a #4 later in his career....Kuzma is a combo Forward that leans more towards a #4 than a #3 currently.
It is your opinion....and I really should not care....but we have to stop pretending this is fantasy or video game basketball, and we can just slot players into any position that we prefer......and every coach that has had them before was somehow incorrect about their proper position.
