His "cursing" was pretty mild. Lol.

There's zero problem with the "look" of saying that word. His taking to a Zags fan

Such as him losing his mind every time he gets called for being stupid.

Emery is a choir boy compared to Ainge in terms of court conduct and language.

Nick is a talented player that needs to be given a role to play. What is Nick's

His role on D is guard his man. He won't do it.

He's great at Gael watching

TBabyCougs

3/6/17 11:49pm

Amen. It was his job to guard the perimeter and it was his guy draining

StalwartBraveTrue

3/6/17 11:51pm

Yep. He watches the ball way too much

TBabyCougs

3/7/17 12:01am

This is just ignorant. The three's didn't consistently come from Nick's man.

teancum

3/7/17 1:48pm

Correct the entire team is inept on D. But Emery helps so deep into the paint

TBabyCougs

3/7/17 1:54pm

Yes. As far as I can tell, because it is so consistent

teancum

I would have to agree with this assertion. The ball watching could be a product

Yeah, just recruit someone better and have Nick come off the bench!

I get the feeling that Nick already thinks he's got it made.

Why would you think this? Idiotic.

We get it. You love Nick.

Ya, that's exactly the point I was making. Good attention to detail.

Id have no problem with him being arrogant if he could actually hit a shot

If by "29% from three" you actually mean "36%", then your post is correct

You are way off on his 3 point %.

It's baffling that Rose would stake the program to Emery and crown him so early

How was he crowned?

If he focused on what his brother focused on he would be decent.
