I think what Slava was trying to get at was that if you want to bring something productive to the table, by all means bring it up and let's discuss it. But if you're gonna go around beating your chest because you didn't like Ball pre-draft and he had a bad game, you're not really adding anything.
I get it. We need to watch the hypocrisy though. All of the crying over the Dlo trade isn't productive and I don't see anyone telling them to go to the Nets board.
Look, Ball will be fine. I don't like his demeanor on defense. He likes to stand around. He gets beat way too easily then reaches/swipes to recover. People here are praising his "quick hands". That's just lack of real effort on D.
Yeah I liked Fox. I'll shut up about it, but I'll look for the Dlo whining to stop also. It wasn't going to work with him and Ball. Their combined defense would have been scary bad.
Ball looked better in game 2 as expected. Great in transition. He still carries himself as too cool to play hard unless he's got the ball making a play.
