    of course they love it when this backcourt is keeping us nailed to the bottom of the conference for 3rd year straight...
    its easier to love the loser and its preferable for your rivals to breed and nourish that losers mentality...

    bad news: it's fifth PG-less night, n second GOON-less night

    If anything, Tate’s absence showed how valuable he is to the team. KJ can’t dribble, Tari doesn’t have Tate’s court vision. Tate is a total package.

    But can he hit a 3? I agree that having Tate back is a positive both from a defensive standpoint and in terms of their ball movement on offense. But the guy has got to develop a reliable 3-point shot; even if he just shot 33-34% this season, that would be huge for his position in the rotation moving forward.

    This backcourt didn't exist for 3 straight years.

    This backcourt started last season when Green was 19 and KPJ 21. To think any backcourt that young would start winning games consistently is stupid.


    You are either a stupid person or a troll playing a character. Which one is it?

    It did.....I would still trade him and EGo to clear playing time for others.....but Tate will make everyone better particularly on D, he is this team's version of PJ Tucker.....let's hope he can finally hit those corner 3s.

    I am hoping for the first official steal in an NBA game by the defensive anchor and franchise player in his 5th start playing 32,2 minutes per.

    I don't think anybody likes their own team when they're watching the games.

    He does have 7 blocks. The fouls are a little concerning, but as long as he can hit the open 3 everyone should be happy.

    Over/Under how many times KPJ gets blamed for bad basketball tonight? 10?

    I had him potentially breaking the 100/100 club 2nd or 3rd year. At least his weak side blocking is as advertised.

    He will probably get there sooner hopefully, he needs to like his teammates and play for the team; let the game come to him, and not treat Green/KPJ/Sengun etc as if they were his college teammates, where he was superior. Basically and shortly, he needs get Banchero out of his head and compete with the opponent instead, not thinking of his stats against Banchero.

    A. We aren't currently last
    B. That backcourt has only played together for one prior season - in which they were very young

    If Jabari play Center tonight he needs to shoot only from the top of the key, he seem comfortable taking his time shooting the long THREE. We need Sengun but Tate will help with his defensive and rebounding tenacity. I think both Guards will score over 25 points each Tate will help but this game will be up to Jabari’s shooting….
