PJ Hairston Is Better Than Gerald Henderson

LOL...

 

Like I said...  Dude is money.  Started 0-6 and ended up hitting two HUGE threes for us that would take Hendo 35 minutes a game for two weeks to get.

 

Regardless, even if he's missing, his threat of deep shooting completely spreads the floor and gives other guys space to work.  That's why he needs more minutes.  He just changes the whole feel of the game when he gets in.  Also, good defensive showing as he stripped one of the Heat guys driving to the basket and had good position throughout the night.

 

I called it EARLY last season when he got booted from school, that we needed him, and man, I'm so happy we got him.

I am glad to see PJ with some solid D tonight. I think Hendo provides our bench with someone who has years of experience and has started before. When you have that on your bench you know your team is good. I say keep Hendo because you never know when someone will get hurt not to mention PJ is still a rookie and still needs time to develop.

I dont understand where people got that he was a liability on defense... in the little bit of playing time hes had.

IMO hes literally looked good on the defensive end his entire sample size.

That was hatin just to hate.

Because he didn't show it at UNC or D League

If he defends well and takes good shots he will keep getting playing time

Clifford just said in his presser that he "really likes PJ."  Said he was good enough to be on the floor from the beginning but he had to keep working and doing the little things in the meantime because we were stocked at the wings.  Said he has done all of those things and he's a guy that "always wants to be out on the floor."  He spoke glowingly of him...

Part of the reason I love PJ is because he reminds me a lot of a basketball version of Smitty.  The dude is fiery and loves to mix it up...  ask that high schooler at the Durham Y, LOL...

 

As long as you can contain that to within the framework of the game, you have something special.

He got some good looks tonight that just didn't go in. He keeps getting looks like that and settles in he will score some points and have a couple of big games.

Also if he can consistently defend well like he did tonight, he will play.

He looked pretty good tonight, but would like to see him do better than 2-9. And he usually will. Especially with good looks like he got tonight

One of the things I like about PJ is he is an aggressive shooter who is looking to shoot. You have to reel those kinda guys in sometimes though. But if he gets hot he can put a bunch of points in a hurry and give you little 6-0 mini runs that can decide a game.

I still think Neal is a better overall player right now, but he has a little bit of Boris Diaw in him, where he has a good look but doesn't take the shot and instead pump fakes and dribbles into traffic. Sometimes it works out, but other times it eats up shot clock and we end up taking a worse shot with shot clock on our backs

      Fvck Bryce Young

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      Idk man, I think it’s necessary.  There’s people working 9-5s everyday that get told poo about what they aren’t and what they’re not capable of and they’re working for scraps.  These guys are making millions.  People are watching and invested because their team and fandom is a part of their identity and a big source of pride.  When someone like Bryce comes in and is given chance after chance after chance after proving he is not worthy of the position he’s being gifted, and he continues to be the biggest reason above any that we are losing, yeah…  I think it’s fair to call a spade a spade.  Am I saying Bryce the person is trash?  Bryce the person is a piece of poo?  Absolutely not.     I came up in an era, especially in basketball, where if you were fuging up people heckled the poo out of you.  I played in rec leagues as a teen where the fuging parents were calling kids trash and yelling poo like “TURNOVER!!!  TURNOVER!!!”  “CANT DRIBBLE!”  “CANT SHOOT!”  And that’s adults screaming that poo to kids like we were in the fuging Rucker lol.🤣🤣🤣  I went on to play basketball at a collegiate level and with professional players in different settings.  What those experiences as a kid taught me was to see if there is any merit to what people are saying, and if there is, then work my ass off til they can’t say that anymore.  Come back better, tougher, harder.  And I did.  If kids can figure that poo out, an adult calling another adult who is bad at his job while making millions and millions of dollars will be just fine.

      I'm 43.... I've lived half my life if I am lucky... will we ever have another team that we will fall in love with?!?

      I have tried to like this team, lord knows I have tried. BY9 is a nice young man, if I had a daughter he can take her to prom, but he ain't QB1 and he's not Cam or Delhomme Chuba is a average RB, he isn't Stephen Davis, he isn't J-Stew McMillan has the makings of a good WR, but he isn't 89/Moose D. Brown is a great player, but if the game was on the line I want Kris Jenkins       I miss this brand of football, even in the bad Jake games the games were entertaining It has been nearly 8 years now of watching numb football

      I’m not sure people understand how fuging bad it is

      I'm not so sure. Something about the whole Frank/Bryce situation seemed off from day 1. Bryce didn't fit Frank's QB mold as well as Stroud, then he basically gives up when Bryce is named starter in preseason but gets virtually no reps in games. Then he looks completely unprepared and Dalton steps in in Seattle, has a decent game under immense pressure, and it's right back to Bryce. All his mechanics are terrible and he's having the worst rookie season ever and Frank doesn't bench him?  You dont have to be a conspiracy theorist to know Bryce wasn't ready to be a day 1 starter. Everything with Bryce, then coaches, and the FO seemed forced.
