I had no idea about the Bulls deal :ohhh:

:russ: damn we lucked out

And I like Zach lowe but I question dude as a journalist after that bullshyt he said and ran off of about Biz. He fronted like teams around the league were skeptical about his age then changed the subject when pressed on it. Nut up. Be a journalist man.

Breh you all over the place. Break down how Lance having one of the worst shooting seasons of all time is Cliff's fault.

And I hate Cliff. Documented.

And Cliff is the one who asked for Lance. Not Cho or Jordan. They were both set on Hayward or nothing.
Because as a coach it's your responsibility to know your players strengths and weaknesses. If you can't utilize your players strengths by making proper lineup adjustments that falls on the coach.

When u drawing up weak offensive sets as the head coach going to Big Al in the paint every other play getting triple and double teamed. That offense best fit for a knock down shooter. Which was never Stephenson strength, so how can you be surprised when he can't deliver that.
That's y he partly the blame

His strength is throwing flashy passes and making people feel special. His weakness is everything else.

You want to blame Jefferson for Lance... but take a long look at the lineup +/-. For Lance. Lance Stephenson of the Charlotte Hornets, NBA player stats There were only TWO rotations that Lance had a positive +/- in that didn't involve Jefferson. That's TWO out of fukking twenty rotations we ran with Lance.

:francis::francis::francis:

That narrative you talking is mighty weak.

Oh and take a look at Lance's point guard production. Take a good long look at that -32.7. Stephenson at point may have been the worst thing to happen to basketball since one and done. When you're done with that, take a look at the eFG% for Lance again. It's NEGATIVE at all three positions we tried him at.

I hope the best for dude but I'm not about to lay blame on anyone else for the fact that he sucked at everything while he was here. If anything, we spent too much time trying to get him going. You got guys that play out of position all across the league. Some even have entire careers out of playing outside of their position. They don't post WOAT seasons though.

I'm not taking your words out of context. You straight up said that going to Jefferson was holding Lance back and I gave you proof that the literal opposite was true. You need to relax and stop trying to :cape:

And people weren't even guarding Lance after January. He had all the space in the world to hit a shot but he'd rather dribble around like a jackass and wave off picks than take an open jumper.

It ain't no secret the breh @42 Monks wasn't thrilled about Lance being in Charlotte from the beginning , but to act like Cliff wasn't incendiary to the situation is being disingenuous. @NYC Rebel
:whoa:

I never openly shytted on Lance :heh: I recall being more positive than a lot of people that actually wanted him in the first place :sas1: @SpacelySprockets I just knew it was going to work. But it was way more than just 'not working' :comeon:

I wish Lance the best in all of his future endeavors. But while he was here, he was basura

:mjlol:nikka traded a future all star for a 1 year rental, I cant wait for the backlash fukkery next year:blessed:
Who's the future all-star? :lupe:

I mean shyt. If Noah was such a beast then Portland wouldn't have been signing guys like Ed Davis to play over him :whoo: I wanted to see him get more playing time but maybe its good that we all didn't :lupe:

:ehh: Well I'll revise my statement and say that you were NEUTRAL in the beginning.

But I do agree with both you and the breh @SireSiah#KWU on certain aspects concerning the whole Lance debacle.
