The rookies combined to go 0-10 from the field (0-8 on 3s). Not a good night for guys under 21.

if they keep scrubs like Okogie glued to the bench there's a chance.

I Was thinking the same thing.

His double clutch three was ugly. You could see him thinking something like, ‘I don’t want to shoot this...but coach keeps telling me to’

Last 5 or so games have been pretty entertaining IMO, this is the first terrible one.

Ant man, stop shooting

I love how low the bar is for Ant. In the old days it used to be how many shots you hit. Now it’s how many spectacular dunks that don’t go in and how close his missed 3s come to going in. I said a few games ago he is Wiggins. The difference is Wiggins could at least finish some of the time and hit some 3s with consistency.

Edwards leads the team in field goal attempts, but hasn't actually made a shot. Saunders needs to start holding guys accountable and give somebody else a chance.

FVV looks like he could break in half Vando's twig ass.

Edwards is a hot mess

The offense is unwatchable. We're back at Ant and Beas "creating" which means them trying and failing to penetrate, then chucking away, while Rubio sits in the corner and doesnt even touch the ball for whole posessions. And yes, thats on Saunders.

I wont write him off but I remain quite skeptical of him. He is capable of some really bad play, I'm leaning towards him being a project player that will need a few years of development before he can be very effective, not a great look as a number 1 pick. But he has games where he does look really good.

This is Jake Layman's team now

TRik · Post #75 » by **TRik** » Sat Feb 20, 2021 3:33 am

So why hasn’t Layman played more??

Post #76 » by **Calinks** » Sat Feb 20, 2021 3:33 am

I'll say it again. Give Jake Layman some love, dude ate poop to start the season but somehow worked his way back to being a solid player. He is saving our butts right now by replacing Edwards terrible play tonight.

Dont let ant play again this game. Teach him a lesson

I am not writing him off, but I am calling BS on his narrative. He is not that good. His decision making is suspect and his shooting is unreliable. Participation trophies are great, but praising a kid for having a terrible game or making bad decisions that cost us games is not the way to develop him.

Okogie and Ryan have something going on behind the scenes.

Props to Saunders for adjusting and giving other guys a chance. Mostly for taking out ant who could not buy a bucket today but insisted on jacking up 3s. He needs to know and do better.
