    Why are we so bad with Green in the lineup? He is playing great on offense, but literally after tonight, the team is 2-20 with him playing.

    It has to be something - are we that much better with Mathews and Brooks starting? Is it defense? What is it?

    Jales has 20 by HT. That counts as positive I guess?

    20 points on 5 fgs for Green well 6 fgs now. Good news, that was a eurostep floater he bricked. First Eurostep I've seen him do in the pros.
    What else? Did someone spike the gatorade with some zzzquil.

    That guy sells dick pills but based of every Australian commercial I’ve ever seen you’re either a dick pill salesman or have a crippling addiction to gambling.

    He is not aware of being in pay-roll. He thinks the money he receives is pension.

    Second night in a row some random church league shorty point guard from out of nowhere just lights us up for a career night

    it's no coincidence wood comes in and the defense goes to hell. If he isn't scoring, he is worthless.

    He doesn't help anybody on offense. If this dude would set a pick he would be an all star off that alone.

    Rockets are bad I just watch them because of Green, Christopher Martin and Sengun play.

    Bench came in and utterly funked up the joint.

    Wood is so terrible. Counting stats aside, Theis actually sets useful screens, boxes out, and plays functional defense. It’s night and day watching the team in the first quarter vs the second.

    I’m pretty low on Silas. He puts out some trash lineups and doesn’t seem to have a good pulse on when to call timeouts to settle things down. We have talent, but obviously not a lot of skill/experience and not a lot of composure. He may be great at designing plays but he is not a good game manager nor is he a leader. Our guys crumble at the first sign of adversity.

    Tate is starting to play a little selfishly going 1-on-5 too much but at least he plays hard. There’s no need for he and Nwaba to share the court.

    I’ve seen enough of Brooks, he’s not a rotation guy but rather a situational shooter. At 6’3” without any ball handling skills or defensive acumen there isn’t really any reason to play him early.

    Green is looking better and better. His jumper and ability to get into the paint is improving with each game.

    I’m starting to worry about KPJ. He looks lost out there. His best stretch was playing as the PnR handler with Wood earlier this season. But with Wood reverting to his selfish ways of bringing the ball up the court and setting weak screens there isn't really a pathway for him to shine. He is the worst culprit of letting circumstance affect his effort/attention/discipline. After a poor foul call or a missed shot he loses focus way too easily. As a point guard and presumptive leader he can't do that.

    Stone really has his work cut out for him.
