Re: Matas Progress Tracker
Still massively confused why Billy stopped a fast break with a time out to bench Matas last night when we were up 15 in garbo time and brought Coby back in when he should've been back in his warmups.
I assume he had a reason in his clown brain but it seems **** dumb from the outside.

Billy’s “old school” is increasingly showing up in all the worst ways.

That was not being aware. I never seen a coach stop a fast break. Just like him screwing up the Kings game.
You had Demar guarding Lavine at the top of the key and you call a timeout to let the Kings setup their defense.

Has any player gone at least 10-10 with 4 threes before?

He’s def a guy with that ceiling.
Kid is so fun to watch. He just glides out there.
He’s a true 2 way player too.

Tonight I saw shades of Joe Alexander and Chase Budinger and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist

I remain wholly unimpressed by Matas and would be very upset not only if we trade up fo him, but if we even draft him at 11

inject this into my veins. I don't know what play is my favorite, probably the right to left scoop but that spin baseline when he got doubled was real nice as well. Kid was in his bag tonight. Along with the shot looking damn smooth and the 2 way play? Sky is the limit.

Re: Matas Progress Tracker
Shot is butter and unique wing skills for his size . Plays hard good defense . It's a miracle he fell to us at 11 scouts and their opinions are trash .

Re: Matas Progress Tracker
Yeah, he needs to get in the gym and get stronger because he still gets bullied down low sometimes...... but JFC, what a great game. I'm excited about his future.

Would you say you were wholly impressed by him tonight? Upset in anyway?
Here to argue about nonsensical things and suck away your joy.
