Wiz back court had their way with him also. This is why we lost.

Lol trying to blame the only guy on our roster who could hit a shot last night for the loss. How many 44 point games does Elf have this year?

Burks was mostly on Dinwiddie. He also had a tough time stopping him.
Holiday made 6 baskets.
Our defensive rotations were not good.
But yes, Kemba's stature/defense is no secret in his NBA/college career.
Is there a PG in the NBA that has scored over 40 and can defend?
Definably not on the Knicks.
People have praised Rose(well deserved) yet not exactly a defensive star.
If a team can't find a way to use a guy that has Kemba's shooting ability, something is wrong.
Kemba is not the answer to our losing. But he is not the reason.

Rose has done nothing this year. He has 2 moves on offense and is worse than Fournier on D. He’s living off the second half of last season when we traded nothing for him

We have seen so many games like this from Kemba in charlotte and the end game results was pretty much the same for the most part , a loss.

Kemba has started on a team that has went to the conference finals, the Kemba slander here is amazing.
People are actually claiming you can’t win with his style of basketball, 44, 8, 9 on 24 shots and 0 turnovers and your team loses. Those are trae young numbers.

Are you saying the Hornets should have won a chip with Kemba?
Can you name some of the high level players he played with?
Is anyone saying Kemba is our best player?
Would we have won the game with Kemba on the bench yesterday?
Do we have a better option?

What is your point? Pick any of the above

If we had Kemba on last year's team with All-Star Randle, Bulloch, Rose, RJ and Noel, we probably beat Atlanta or at the very least take them to 7 games.

Kembe on this years team with lazy declined Randle, no Bulloch, a traffic cone in Fournier and a declined Noel/RJ/Rose isn't going to help much no matter how many points he scores or how well he plays.

Some excellent mental gymnastics to play down Kemba being by far our best scorer since coming out of the Thibs doghouse

Kemba is not the problem, but he is not the solution. He is not to blame. In fact, for some of our guys it also holds true. The solution lies in chemistry and its beyond most of us to solve it.

Philc, you can do your Elf bit all day over and over and the funny thing is you remove him and we did not beat atlanta nor we as good with him. HE was not the problem, but I won’t go anywhere near that he was the glue or the solution. Im saying it worked with him for a good part of the season. ITs why he played so much.
We “Upgraded” in many ways but its not adding up.

Randle contract is not any where close to max.

Kemba in CHarlotte was not on very good teams and he was much younger. Nobody doubted the talent, its the ability to stay healthy and play as a starter. He is under 6 foot and has bad knee thats chronic.
Its not about his past, its the future. He played a great game on one end but it was negated by what he cannot do well and thats defend.

Kemba MR. TRIPLE DOUBLE WALKER BABY!!!

Philc1 wrote:So are we benching him again when Rose is back?

Hell no.

Rose is a closer and the heart and soul of our backup unit.

But Kemba Walker is a 4x All-Star over the past 5 years ala 4/5 All-Star appearances.

And over the previous 4 games? He's showing the world, why!

104 points.
33 rebounds.
28 assists.

That's an average of 26 points, 8.2 rebounds and 7 assists per game!

Kemba Walker is... BACK BABY!

Honest question: when is the last time a NYK starting PG clocked 12 dimes? (in ONE game, NYKMentality)

I have no idea but I do know Kemba Walker is the 7th Guard to ever drop a triple double on CHRISTMAS DAY!

In all seriousness Derrick Rose season high was 9 assists this year and last year 11 assists was his high.

Last year Rose had a high of 23 points and this year a high of 27 points.

KEMBA WALKER IS SHOWING US WHY HE'S MADE THE ALL-STAR TEAM 4 OUT OF THE PREVIOUS 5 YEARS OF 2016-2017, 2017-2018, 2018-2019 and 2019-2020

Dig the propaganda works and hope that his good play blends in when we are mostly healthy and are winning.
His benching was justified.
The his historical talent is not disputed. Seen this cat in Charlotte many times and a fan of his always.
But its the future. He did this in spurts last year. He looks good. Then the knee holds him back. Boston had and has its own chemistry issues. He was not the problem, and again was not the solution either.

Triple double is fun and its all good. We got the win.
Does it mean we are getting ready for a nice run? Maybe. I hope so. I can’t ignore the past that three teams gave up on him. Clt, boston and then OKC as trade vessel only. Boston had to give a no. 1 pick.
So lets not forget that. The issue coming in was could he be consistent enough thru a season. We figured he’d need games off and perhaps a week or so to reset and reduce inflamtion.

The haters don’t like to be wrong. The lovers enjoy dancing as optimists enjoying it. The end of day, or season is the aggregate and the teams record says what happened.

So Kemba is in the books with Oscar Robertson. Good for him. Good for fans, good way to kick off christmas!
