    Ok we need real plays to end games, this is turning into the Harden 4th quarter endings. Isolate.

    we definitely will, so I don’t mind the occasional win…let the young guys feel good about themselves every once in awhile instead of embarking on constant 10+ game losing streaks

    Im convinced the only real difference in Jalens success is him getting these fouls called

    weird thing

    Jalen went for the drive again but Mobley stopped him and forced him into a tough long fade away jumper. Mobley is going to win many DPOY awards...

    Sengun should come in. Silas knows this he must. Getting overpowered with their size.

    And Sengun will get 6-10 points off assists alone.... No amount of length can replace passing skills and fundamentals.

    The competition matters, Clev is not putting any pressure on our guards......giving them a lot of room, when we play teams like Minny they pressure our young guards and they struggle.

    That was a trap set for Green, they knew that if they put Mobley out there on him, there was no chance he'd pass and he'd just force something up. He's been good most of the game, he needs to keep his head in it.

    That’s like 90% of his shot selection.

    Confidence is a HUGE factor on how well he plays. He looks a million times more assertive and animated tonight than in his struggle games.

    I think the point is to just stay bad enough to be one of the worst 3 teams to hopefully maximize your odds of landing a top 3 pick because the draft geniuses think that's where most of the talent is in the upcoming draft. The 5 worst teams basically have the same odds at a top 3 pick and even if we have one of the worst 3 records we may not end up with a top 4 pick, but... it's the odds.
