Hakeem you are acting like a Karen lol.

 

Needs more of the ball.

*proceeds to get the ball and attack the big man...... wide open shot..... .clank off the top of the backboard.

The single worst shooting stroke in the entire league. And we see evidence game after game after game.

 

He is way past that, at some point he will crack, either will be tearing up or something else.

 

needs to be sent to g league where he belongs

 

i thought I was the only one noticing that n bothered by that…wood in particular, when his man lays up for a shot he used to run up late n put up his hand like reaching our for a high five instead of an aggressive shot block. smh, he just stayed in overseas for too long, his bad defensive habits long taking shape.

 

This team is making Cayleigh talk like Barkley.



“What did we just watch, Ernie?”

Evan Mobley only had 1 pt last night hahahahah. Yeah I see you mobley banana rider in this garm. Exposed yourselves now! Green train keeps on coming!!

 

yeah that 1 pt game really exposed mobley's broken jumper, trash playmaking, and defense

 

ouch lol.

 

What I MEANT to say is we'll lose by 34. Easy mistake to make.

 

lol trust me, he needs more of the ball. He has so much talent and only simple minded people would judge him on his current percentages. As a rookie players push harder to show they belong. His percentages will be down at the start, but they will get better as he gets more consistent and more comfortable playing in the NBA. Shooting games like last night will become more frequent. Doesn't turn 20 until February and has a lot of talent. His passing is very good, if Silas would let him show that more. 2 of the last 4 games he has shot 40 percent or better ftrom the field, first time he has done that in such a span of games. He needs to try to get to the line more as well. Shooting 85 percent from there this month. You need him to keep attacking as much as he can, he looks dangerous when he does.

Would you rather a player be afraid to try things to grow as a player and not attack?

 

people judging draft picks after 1 season are crazy anyway, need way more time to judge them

 

I see your 1 point and raise you a -37 +/- last night, worst on the team by 9 points.

 

Scrubbbbbbb

 

we are really hard to watch. We get it about being patient, it's just that this is looking worse than expected, but damn our expectations. This is looking detrimental to the players. Not a lot of our guys playing better than 12 games ago.

 

Honestly. What the hell is this 'so much talent' people speak of.

He can't dribble under pressure.

He sure as hell cannot shoot.

He sure as hell cannot play defense.

And also, can we please start the conversation on the fact he does not know how to utilise or come off a screen correctly. I cannot be the only one who watches him use a screen, and have zero intention of attacking off of it, but rather do the whole 'oh lets look back at the defender that's behind me, and just stand still and dribble and let him get back into position, then i'll go back behind the perimeter to the same spot I was in before the screen'. It was mystifying when Harden started doing it. It's infuriating when a player supposedly uber quick does it, and negates his one legitimate skill.

So the talent is the fact he can jump high?

Yes he's had nice interior passes. I would kind of negate that as being one of his 'strengths' by the same amount of passes that go to the other team.

Seriously. What the hell is this talent apart from uber athleticism that people keep speaking of. Because I remember people saying he was so talented pre-draft. Which really made it all the more bizzare just how many blatant holes he has in his game.

 

Is Gordon Ramsay the only connection between London and basketball? We need more basketball in this insular country.
