I was wrong about Hendo

Now before I get into anything else, I want to say I'm neither a UNC or Duke fan.

Now, I will admit I was horribly wrong on Henderson. I thought he'd be an excellent 6th man off the bench who'd make out benches one of the deepest in the league. I'm now at the conclusion where Henderson's only role with any team in the NBA would be with the 76ers as a starter who can score some, but at the cost of an awful FG%.

In an effort to clean this team up, him, Maxiell, and Marvin Williams (when Taylor returns) shouldn't be seeing more then 0-8 minutes a game. At least until we trade or replace them. Those 3 along with Roberts are what is killing this team.

I hate hendo (im a duke fan) but didn't be actually play well last night? When its a different issue every night maybe the coach is the problem.

His PER is under 10. For someone who some (myself included) wanted as a 6th man, that's awful.

Clifford is a very good coach. He's not the problem.

The only argument I've seen about him is 'his rotations suck" and such. If some of y'all ran rotations Big Al, Kemba, & Lance would be run into the ground before Christmas. We are dealing with a ton of injuries. We have the most back to backs in the NBA (which is brutal). Starting tomorrow, they play 6 games in 8 days. You have to rest guys. "Ahh the backups are blowing it put Big Al in!" Then what are you gonna do 3-4 nights from now when Al is worn out and tired and we have 2 games in 2 nights?

What would you do after getting fired around Christmas?

Hanging out with Clifford probably. Forgot Neal for some reason so I would need to adjust move vonleh to the bench and make some adjustments. Need shooters around big al and people not clogging the lane for lance

Should've been allowed to walk two years ago, which I said at the time. Cho giving him $6 million a year was Hurneyesque.

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      They traded away their 1st next year also to get James Pearce Jr. Really hope this blows up in the Falcons face. I don't care how it happens, I just want to win the division this year. Zero sympathy for other team's issues. And our pass rush looks like it needs all the help it can get.

      I would have released him this season, tbh and worked with Christensen out there.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By Seltzer · Posted

      10/10. We're due for some good luck, and I think this team is much better than what we've had the last 2 seasons. Defensive injuries could derail us b/c our depth there is still questionable. Still worried about the pass rush getting pressure without blitzing. Pleasantly surprised by the secondary and run defense.  Dan Morgan has done a lot to resurrect this roster from the deplorable position Fitterer left it in by showing some scouting chops with hitting on these guys drafted in the later rounds or UDFAs. Lathan Ransom & Corey Thornton both look like they fit this scheme and the NFL isn't too big for them.  I'm as excited for the rookie trifecta of T-Mac, Scourton, and Princely as I can remember. On paper, this offense is the most talented since 2021, maybe 2017, and maybe 2015. None of that means this team will produce any better, but this team has offensive talent & depth like we have rarely had in team history. If you don't believe me, go Google it. We've had some awful offensive collections overall in many years, to varying degrees mitigated by superstar talents like Steve Smith, Christian Mccaffrey, or Cam Newton.  I honestly think the collective offensive talent in 2025 may be better, but Cam was so otherworldly in 2015 & 2017 that he covered any flaws. Seriously, though, Cam doesnt get enough love for 2017. I think that may have been his best season. In general, Cam doesn't get enough respect IMHO. Both in college and in the NFL, Cam took teams that without him would have had no chance and won. True definition of a guy who elevated his team. To be clear, I am in no way am I saying this team will be better than 2017 or 2015. My point is that the offensive talent is there on offense if Bryce can unlock it.  I've been a Bryce supporter, but there are no excuses not to perform with this group. This isn't the disaster we gave him in 2023 or a new scheme like in 2024 where I think he hadn't mentally removed from his rookie season to start. I dont know how you couldnt be excited about that. And we still compete in a division that isn't insurmountable. I got got in 2023 like most of us in buying into the team propaganda, but in general, I think I'm pretty realistic about the team. I knew in my heart we would be bad last year. I wasnt expecting the defense to be that bad or Bryce to start off that poorly, but I had no expectations whatsoever for making the playoffs. And I genuinely think we will be competitive all year this season. I think we win 8-9 games and compete for the division. I think the ceiling is 11 wins, and the floor is 7. The good news is after next week, we will all be proven right or proven wrong. Keep Pounding!
