    Brunson is the player we wish FVV could be. Facilitating early, controlling the game, and finishing it.

    I’m being hyperbolic because I generally like Fred and I’m frustrated at him this game, but because we don’t have a backup PG and Jalen can’t really run the offense, it’s led to everyone being held accountable except for FVV.

    If we look at the numbers, he actually is having a good game. If we watch the game, we know what he’s done

    No defenders? Josh Hart was right there and he barely got the ball over the rim because of his presence.

    And easy dunk is when no one is around and you're wondering what the player is going to do with the free attempt, not if you're wondering if the guy running behind him is about to get a chasedown block.

    This loss is on Ime. We have been outscored on 3s for consecutive games, and he continue to leave the G league starter too long there to give away the game.

    He doesn't pass backout. He takes most of the shots under the basket.
    Jokic can shoot 3's he spreads the court. Giannas spreads the court too but in a different way, from different angles.

    Sengun is a post up player under the basket, it slows down the game

    I've seen enough. Trade Green and start Cam the rest of the way. Just give him the damn ball!

    It wasn’t too long ago at all. Did it a couple times
    Last year. Knicks have been better than the rockets for a few years now.

    There is one positive in this game, and it's this ad that keeps popping up

    The biggest problem about Jalen Green is he does not have basketball IQ.

    You just can't teach that.

    Well you said that most of his points will be twos so I think the same applies to Jokic no?

    Also, Giannis doesn't spread the floor at all, teams play off him too it's just that it doesn't matter because once he touches the paint at all he's likely scoring.

    Sengun spreads the floor too because what happens is he gets doubled. It's not his fault if guys can't hit wide open threes at a decent clip. If the team shot better the offense would be humming because doubling Sengun would come with the risk of giving up a three which would then make it harder to double him.

    Josh Hart was behind the play.

    No coordination. No mental toughness. NO SHOOTING. I started this night very cheerful and now I'm depressed.
