Pat gotta still improve on his finishing but he is now getting in much better position to finish those plays. Hes been solid so far.

I can understand a quick benching for Matas as a rookie but why now?

Our bench is going to keep us in most games

Probably. Billy is saving him for fouls sake. Plus Pat is actually playing well so there isnt much to complain about yet.

I know Matas clearly had a block. Not sure why he still is listed as zero blks.

Where is Matas. Why terry again. Bench keeping bulls in it, but to win, need to string couple good possessions here for starters to get in rythm

That 3rd foul on Matas was bull

EDIT: they misreported his fouls. He has 2, Huerter has one of those.

That was a complete ticky tack foul on Matas. I hate refs

Pat has been great today.

I'm not saying anything about Pat until we're 30 games in. But I want to.

For some reason it felt like everyone turned on Jalen Smith after the first game and wrote him off. I didn't really get it because we saw him be pretty good for an entire season. Glad he is having a bounce back game. Pat is looking incredible.

Nice Dunk! Let's go PWill!

Man Pat is playing ball right now on both ends.

Props Mr. Williams

Jalen Smith is who he is. A classic bench big, jack of all trades type. Can't get mad at him having an off night.

Huerter having a typical game... 7 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists.

I feel like people assume he's trade fodder, but I like Huerter and would keep him for a reasonable price.

I just think it's more noticeable now that we actually need him.

Learning time for Matas to keep going even with foul trouble. Didn't like that kick out from other basket after I excellent pass found him,
Just go up strong and finish, than he dribble off his foot, than tick tack foul comes. It's self fulfilling, u play it safe, that's when mistakes start to pile up.

Need to shake it off and just grind rebounds/steals and shoot with confidence

okoro can't even get close to getting himself a clean look at the rim

Post #60 » by **HomoSapien** » Sun Oct 26, 2025 12:00 am

I've never seen Pat play like this. I have seem enough of Okoro though. If this keeps up after a few more games we should just try Essengue, Terry, or JP.
