That poster was a Banchero fan.

Or a Kergan Murray fan, forget which.

 

Tari already better than Tate imo.

I'm a Tate fan but facts are facts.

Tate needs to go back to playing dog defense and fix that 3ball if he wants legit compete for starting 3 spot.

 

If I was OKC I would be a little worried about Giddey's long term fit, right now his role is pretty much a very poor man's Westbrook. He gets blown by practically every possession and he cannot hit a shot, but he needs the ball to be effective as well. He can get you some rebounds and assists and fill up the triple double category, but it's just not conducive to winning basketball.

He'll need to fix his jumpshot as soon as possible, because he'll be targeted on both ends.

 

Yeah - it's kind of crazy how many shots have just kind of rimmed in and out for him so far. Aside from maybe rushing it a bit at the start of that Orlando game, I thought he has mostly taken good shots and been fairly accurate with his shot.

 

Too early to talk trade for this kid methinks.

Jaygup should replace EGo as 6th man eventually.

 

Yeah, I'm also in the Tate fan club but on the nights when the Tari fan club meets, I'm going to have to go to that one instead. Tari just looks like a young Kawhi with more fire in him. He just seems to have this thing where he knows to stay close and has the perfect timing of when to make his move for a steal, block, or contest. I'm honestly kind of shocked that he sat on the draft board long enough for Houston to grab him.

 

With elite defense.

 

OKC playing him at 5 will be a mistake.

But he's not our worry, rather focus on our guys.

 

Thanks for that.
Most of his shots have looked very flat.
I'm not concerned about his shooting % yet, but wondered why there's little arc in his shot at the moment.

 

I think they do need one more legit center on the roster - I imagine Houston hoped to pick up Bamba or Hartenstein but I think the Center market has mostly fallen off since then so they may take a flyer on Holman just to see what he can do.

 

They need his rim protection pretty bad - maybe he won't play a 5 on the offensive end, but I imagine defensively they just want to keep him as close to the hoop as possible.

 

No, Christopher is the future Eric Gordon and/or KPJ insurance.

 

I think he will eventually want to start - and there will be teams that want him to start, and he will leave.....my point is that he is a man with little vision other than get himself a shot......and I think in the end, he needs MASSIVE playing time to break bad habits.

Chet's shot blocking was impressive. Jabari fought him hard and never gave up.

 

Jabberwock is more accurate.

Jabberwocky was name of poem regarding the creature called the Jabberwock.

But agree, that nick is inspired.

 

That's the perfect fit for him. Play good defense and focus on scoring.

 

Dude stop being a Dick head ok? Can you? Maybe its in your nature but to respond with lol’s and bullshi* is unnecessary and foolish and invalidates everything you have to say. Didn’t read the rest of your bullshi+ response. The condescending bullshi+ is getting old btw. Find a new way to respond.

 

Big difference in ball movement. I feel like this coach is doing something.

 

Nix played better. He was more in control. TyTy is better than him.
