Paul George in a recent podcast said that offense merely looks fluid and effortless. The reality is, getting your shot off at the speed of the NBA is one of the hardest things to be able to master

Even Sheed in his show said that the best way to prolong your career is to play great defense and learn how to make open shots when the pass comes from a star

Seems like two good advice & observations that seem apt

Was this referring to Killian?

He needs to make it a point to get himself to the free throw line at a rate 2x every ten minutes, this alone would probably increase his scoring by double


Forget that. You're not getting to the line with any semblance of regularity if you can't drive the lane. And he can't.

He needs to just not get minutes.

You can't draw fouls if opposing teams are happy to let you try to score the ball, knowing you're incapable of making a shot or getting to the rim. The scouting report on Killian Hayes out there by now. Teams know to dare him to shoot, so they don't have to guard him so close that he has opportunities to draw fouls.

Jalen Duren is becoming a beast. 14/11 already at 20 years old and just scratching the surface of what he can become.

Hoping we can at least muster a fight against the conference leading Timberwolves.

The last time the Wolves won the West in the regular season we won a championship. Something tells me history won’t be repeating itself.

He had Ivey playing 10th man behind Killian Hayes.


It took trading Livers and Bagley to staggering minutes for Stew and Ausar

You almost have to force Monty to not play his weird favorites. Maybe Hayes is next

Yes, should be forced to move Hayes, give Sasser his minutes.

Get rid of Wiseman, Killian, and cut Joe Harris. Sign three guys that want to make the league and bust their asses for it.
