    If you watch those practice videos, you won’t feel surprised about those bricking.

    I wasn't a fan of trading wood, but i would be okay with it. the turn to try and be something other than a pnr big is weird.

    Not exactly, from my memory, our garbage squad has routinely been one of the worst in the league since we lost Bobby Brown and Iso Joe.


    This specific pre season they have looked significantly better than our starting rotation. Yes, likely because the teams are coasting with their own 3rd stringers in... but f'n A man I think those boys deserve a shot, Brooks/Christopher/Martin/Garuba should get some run.

    It's tough because Green is the 2nd overall pick, KPJ has been anointed some future star, we're dancing around their ego's and potential but personally if Brooks/Christopher could outplay them I'd bench their asses and make them EARN their spots. They have to get better, a lot better, they need a fire under their ass.

    Green was bad in this game by literally any metric, advanced or otherwise. Anyone that thinks Green looks NBA ready after tonight's debacle needs to get their eyes checked.

    Greens shot wasn’t falling but I think the potential is obvious. Sengun has unteachable basketball instincts. KPJ has been disappointing since preseason game 1. Needs to pick it up. Coaching is suspect.

    The only thing Green did badly are those janky ass step back 3's. Otherwise he played a good game, made a bunch of good passes, drove at every opportunity even thought he got stuffed a million times. Didn't turn it over either.

    If he keeps playing like this and cut out the dumb 3's I will be satisfied. Eventually he will get respect of the refs and get to the line with how much he drives

    At least our "PG" wasn't tossing it all over the place...

    He seemed to me that his BBIQ was not enough for him to do what he wanted to do. He also has lousy ball control. He is capable of making constant turnovers.

    Duarte looks like the steal of the draft and NO ONE wouldve guessed that. Thats how the draft works. I am still firmly behind the Green needs more time and Duarte may come out and lay an egg next game but Green isnt doing the best in the Silas 1v1 system that seems like it was meant for James Harden.
