Tom Moore 3.0

Post #2261 » by **tk76** » Fri Dec 11, 2009 7:04 pm

Doug Mo and Randy Ayers.

Mo was a good parallel. Started out 19-37 with the worse defensive team I've seen... until this one.

Ayers got the ax after starting 21-31 with an AI led Sixers team that was 2 years removed form the Finals.

In all likelihood, this team is going to be MUCH worse than those records...but I think we'll be stuck with "Dumb and Dumber Part 2" until the end of the season.

Iguodala is 6'7" in shoes.

Iguodala is 6'7" in shoes.

Obviously, Iguodala shrunk since his combine. Kevin12 saw it with his own eyes on TV cameras.

For 99.9% of people, your arms and legs are done growing by 18. Your back is the last thing to stop growing, but typically that means somewhere between 0-1" from 18-21 without any additional increase in wingspan. Just talking medical facts. Jrue could be the exception.

Yup.

He basically refuted your assessment on the likelihood of Jrue growing taller since the combine.

Love the response.

When somebody says something stupid I have to beat them down.

Remind you of anyone?

Ignoring valid points that rebut your statement is very dedicated-like.

Holiday will play tonight. Jordan said he'd like to "throw him in there" as soon as possible.

Pregame, Jordan said this is the toughest stretch of his seven-year head coaching career.

BTW, Sixers using same starting lineup.

I wouldnt be surprised to see a quick hook of one of either Brand or Dalembert early to get Jrue in. You know Jordan is itching to use his small lineup with Iggy at the 3 and Thad at the 4 while having two true guards in with them.

Once Speights is back the amount of small ball will be cut in half.

Somehow with Jordan I still doubt that.

I could see Jason Smith getting 0 minutes and Brand and Dalemberts minutes being cut even more, similar to the beginning of the year.

Bench scoring is 29-2 with 2:50 left in second.

Halfway to the record! 23 game losing streak by the Grizzlies in 95-96 and by the Nuggets in 97-98 and weve made it to 12. When should we get the champangne ready?

Iguodala: "When we’re up big like that, we’re not sticking our foot on their necks.We’re too relaxed. We had ’em right where we wanted them. We’ve got to continue to apply pressure."

Tom, is Jordan starting to ponder a change to the starting lineup? I mean, the starters have been good, but they are getting absolutely nothing out of the bench right now. Bringing Thad off the bench (as good as he's played lately) until Speights comes back could give them a little more balance.

Other than the 1st quarter, does it really make a difference? They can mix and match however they want the rest of the game.

I think it's important to have a guy that can come in fresh and provide an offensive spark for the team.
