    Yes. They are the #1 seed and they have 2 physical bigs. We do not have 2 of those things.

    He is, I have never seen a crazier and more innovative hair style......

    Couple that with great basketball skills that do not show up on the stat sheets or anywhere else to be honest.

    Sengun actually is quite strong and hold his own in terms of positioning. He's just not ultra long Golbert or Towns.

    Do you need to misunderstand what I wrote?. You know exactly what I mean. We needed a player to shoot. Don't make idle talk. The whole world knows I'm right. Bullock may not be a good player but sometimes we need surprise players.

    So much talk from Udoka about lack of physicality. It feels like "This is why we paid for Brooks, and we need more of our guys to play like that."

    I said *two*. We don't have *two* of those. :cool: sorry, uncle Jeff. It's a shame that Landale is such a liability that we can't even throw him out there to box out and bang around.

    I think Ime is just saying physicality etc, but he knows we are short handed, and really young and frankly stupid.....when FVV goes to the bench we look like lost chickens without heads.....we desperately need a 2nd competent ball handler.

    It would have been nice to compete, but at our best we are an average team anyway, and I think, generally, we are less than that. A lot more work to do. Need to develop or draft an alpha dawg. And long term we need a guy who will replace Fleet as we come of age. The core is interesting, but not enough as it stands to do damage.

    We pay $23M/year for back-up bigs but still don't have one. Strange.

    Ime Udoka still needs some years to be an experienced HC. I guess it's his second year as a HC.

    Hope he learns ASAP. We need him.

    Oh i'd seen that. I was wondering whether something happened in the Rockets game which made Udoka bring that up.
