    says more about the complete lack of adequate PG options on this team than it does about Fred’s “greatness”

    most teams look clueless without a PG on the court

    we have Jalen and Amen running point right now…

    And a Div II college team with him... But nah , it's more about having a adequate ball handler run the offense more than Fred being out there.. I'd try a find Tre Jones to backup Fred .. I forgot where the Spurs traded him

    Says a lot about this “core 7” that they can’t even win a game against tanking teams without Fred. But don’t worry, give this team a shot! I don’t know who’s more delusional, this fanbase or Stone.

    Fred is a nice player and he helps a lot, but Fred takes this team from a 5 to a 6.

    This team needs more than FVV.

    Dont forget when Fred played against Brookly 2 games ago we were outscored 38 to 53 in the first half BEFORE he was hurt?

    We were down 5 when he left the game. The Nets lead then exploded from there.

    He was one of three starters with a negative plus/minus.

    Regardless, we weren't winning the minutes he was playing.

    And what about the Detroit loss? And the Grizzlies loss?

    Yall acting like Fred fixes this teams issues and makes everything sunshine and rainbows is delusion.

    jalen constantly walking into a double team after jumping over half court at the 8 second mark
    got the brain of a water buffalo

    just dumb



    inbounding the ball to jalen and amen with defenders draped on them while reed saunters down court with nobody on him

    more dumb

    forcing reed to stand in the corner on offense while amen and jalen helter skelter around at the top with a third of a jump shot between the two of them

    triple dumb

    throwing the ball at the feet of a triple teamed alpi and then standing around watching him try to beat all of three guys while we pretend we are a spot up floor spacer

    then getting blown by flat footed when Alpi gets stripped

    you can say we need a better point than fred

    find one that doesn't crater the roster to acquire

    with Fred we are a top 4 team

    without Fred we are getting heart crushed by the nets

    Jalen and Amen are painful to watch as PG's

    Amen is no way ready. This is two games in a row where at pivotal points near in the end he had messed up. Fred is needed. Holiday should have never been out there to begin with.

    This. FVV is mediocre at best, but every team needs a PG to function. We need to get a good one via trade.

    So THIS is where the fans who actually watch games and not just look at stats and boxscores, come to hangout.

    FVV is probably 5% Antman.

    Still think they need a Franz Wagner.

    should have gotten harden. FVV is mediocre, but sadly he's the only actual PG that can run an offense on this team

    FVV plays near elite defense on top of game management. His PG skills aren't what we're missing right now.

    People never give him credit for how much he does on defense. They always try to downplay it and call him "solid". Anything to avoid giving him credit for how good he is.
