    Bruno is the worst NBA player in the league by a large margin.

    Hone your reading skills, Mr. Polite.

    I said young players, not a 30 year old former 6th man of the year.

    There are enough veterans or younger players who can play efficiently either way.

    Why I am even bothering....

    we witnessed a man completely implode on the court last night

    at 1st, all u could do was laugh as Bruno did his 3 stooges impression, but then it quickly became very sad and too painful to watch...u just wanted it to end

    Bruno's incompetence is TRULY ****ing pathetic.

    Please never again. I'd rather bring Earl Boykins out of retirement to play center.

    I never had faith in him. He has low IQ, and he's soft. No team will take him off our hands without a FRP imo. That's not acceptable to me, but we need Onuaku like luck to move him to another team.

    He's not ready right now, but don't knee jerk too hard based on last night, Christian Wood looked pretty lost a few years ago too....and Hassan Whiteside wasn't even good enough to log minutes when down at RGV at one point.

    It's possible he never figures it out, but it could still happen for him.

    He has looked terrible, but so has House, going to withhold full judgement until whole team is here and everyone’s role is defined.

    the jump ball he didn't go after was terrible. like he didn't know he was supposed to go get it. also, on the jump ball he lined up behind the 3 point line instead of outside the jumpball circle so the was 2 feet farther away (so did the defender for some reason).

    He also had a teammate being doubled and instead of moving to the open spot (away) he moved closer making the double team effective and missing the pass out lol He's missing basic fundamentals that coaches dont have all day to reteach.

    Wood and Whiteside weren't terrible players, their attitudes made them toxic. They had red flags coming out of college that they had to overcome. Some players have talent but have severe personal issues. Wood was cut from a Chinese team. That's not from lack of ability but of professionalism.

    By all accounts Bruno has a great attitude. Coaches in Toronto, Memphis, and Houston all say he works hard. I'm sorry, but this is his seventh season. If this is the result of his hard work he's just not cut out for this league. It's not even the mental mistakes (not going for the jump ball, losing the handle on the fastbreak, fouling Murray on a long three) he just straight up has no talent.

    Maybe Bruno was just nervous or w/e. That was way too sad for your typical NBA scrub, like every single second he was out there was Shaqtin' Fool MVP level play. It didnt show in stat sheet but he def destroyed all the momentum in like 5 mins. If he was a double agent trying to sabotage the team he prob couldnt do any worse, I havent seen anything like it.

    Hopefully he gets another shot at redemption but I wouldnt blame Silas if he gets put in perma doghouse because of that performance.

    He’s a reason Gerald is not on the team, so that needs to be rectified!
