2700824, I’m absolutely using this to justify a New Orleans trip next year.

2700843, me neither, but me and longo beer snobs

the charbroiled oysters @ drago's riverside b/w ice cold abita amber is one of my NOLA rituals
2700840, eh, i think it's OK. it ain't belgium but i've seen worse.
Posted by ConcreteCharlie, Mon Jul-01-19 01:42 PM
besides it more than makes up for it in incredible food, live music and no last call.
2700845, Eh, it's improving. Plus you can get Parish on tap.
Posted by Frank Longo, Mon Jul-01-19 01:51 PM
Courtyard Brewing satisfies the snob in me too. Between Courtyard and Parish, I'm usually satiated. And Urban South, while the beer is just fine, is such a terrific hangout spot.
2700842, bubble team at best but the future is bright af
Posted by ConcreteCharlie, Mon Jul-01-19 01:42 PM
let's see if they keep making moves. definitely shaping up nicely.
2700850, yeah they loaded...just not at Center
Posted by Cenario, Mon Jul-01-19 02:11 PM
2700860, they'll be fine w favors there in the short term
Posted by dula dibiasi, Mon Jul-01-19 02:58 PM
beyond that? they have time.
2700869, Yeah, they'll work hard to develop Jaxson Hayes for the next 1-2 years.
Posted by Frank Longo, Mon Jul-01-19 03:23 PM
That's definitely a project that could pay big time dividends.
2700868, *crosses fingers they'll run some Zion at the 5 small ball*
Posted by Frank Longo, Mon Jul-01-19 03:22 PM
Just toss Lonzo, Jrue, JJ, Ingram, and Zion and fucking SPRINT. It'd be fun as shit to watch.

2700874, brah.

until they have to run back and play defense lol
2700883, no doubt.
Posted by dula dibiasi, Mon Jul-01-19 04:31 PM
young teams don't defend, water is wet, etc. i'm strictly talking entertainment value.
2700879, Lonzo/Jrue/JJ as a three-guard lineup is just asking to get torched by 3s
Posted by ConcreteCharlie, Mon Jul-01-19 03:54 PM
What starting SF isn't looking at that and licking his chops?

I do like the Zion-at-5 small ball idea but not *that* small.
2700881, Jrue can guard 1-3 outside of the freaks
Posted by cgonz00cc, Mon Jul-01-19 04:22 PM
at the far end of the genetic spectrum he's too short, but you could have him guard 3s over 82 games and be fine
2700907, Honestly I'd say the same for Lonzo.

>at the far end of the genetic spectrum he's too short, but

I've got my complaints about his game, but two things he can absolutely do well: defend the perimeter and run transition offense.

It's also a 6'4/6'4/6'6 trio of guards. That's not like, say, Portland small ball. Even Frank Jackson in off the bench is 6'3 and dumb athletic. If other teams wanna put bigs in the game and try to feast down low, cool-- because outside of a rare couple, none of those bigs can fuck with Ingram at the 4 and Zion at the 5 in transition on the other side of the court in a spread-out, run-fast, small ball lineup.
2709187, He can guard *some* 3s *some* times. But JJ gotta guard *someone*
Posted by ConcreteCharlie, Wed Dec-18-19 04:27 PM
and that's a problem.
2700878, Favors for now, Hayes for later. They are aight.
Posted by ConcreteCharlie, Mon Jul-01-19 03:52 PM
2700921, Lol... "Loaded"
Posted by TheRealBillyOcean, Tue Jul-02-19 01:27 AM
2700922, Loaded with potential. Let’s see how it pans out.

2700935, All the Voodoo Queens in NOLA making spells against BAGS.
Posted by Castro, Tue Jul-02-19 09:39 AM

2709162, Too many Dukies on your team, that's why your Wins-low
Posted by okayplayery, Wed Dec-18-19 04:49 AM

2709185, too many dicks in your mouth, leave mine alone.
Posted by Basaglia, Wed Dec-18-19 03:47 PM
2709188, 6-22
Posted by ConcreteCharlie, Wed Dec-18-19 04:30 PM
