I'm only here for the Matas show. Am I in the right place?

Hilarious that they’re putting Lonzo on the promo poster.

Come see our 15 mpg $10M superstar!

Curious to see what lineups we run with.

It will never happen, but I'd start Giddey-Ball-Williams-Matas-Smith just to see how it looks.

Well there goes that.

Giddey-Ball-Williams-Matas have only been on the court together for a total of 22 possesions. Per 100 possesions they are +63.6, which obviously doesn't mean much with such a low sample size.

Would have really liked to have gotten a larger sample size so we had some idea on whether this unit is one that can work well together or not.


It's frustrating, making the playoffs obviously isn't happening. It would be nice to get some answers as to who does and doesn't fit together moving forward, but it doesn't look like we'll receive answers to those questions either.

We'll just randomnly play Tre Jones and Kevin Huerter for no reason so we can have a larger smattering of lineups with statisitically insiginificant playing time together. So we can go into the offseason not being sure of anything.

PWill will never stay healthy and will only get worse. There’s always something with him.

Nope coach is a clown and has consistently yanked him for a second foul in the first half no matter what. :roll:

You know, I'd rather see more of Dalen Terry than Huerter. If I squint hard enough, I can see an NBA player with Terry. He won't wow you in 5-10 minute spurts, but I feel like if he plays 20+ mins he'll bring defense and a little bit of everything on the stat column. We might as well see what we have with him.

Coby could've stopped that oop if he ran back.

Did Giddey turn into Rodman for a minute? 8 rebounds in a quarter?

He's the only guy on the team who even tries for offensive rebounds. :lol:

Giddey, Lonzo, and Vuc have found some rhythm on offense.

Giddey would be so much better if he could play defense.
