Getting Towns post-ups are going to be important here.

He hasn't played most of the year. Defensively he has been more active and better in help, but any game he gets challenged in he gets his stuff tossed. I just mean, the whole Kat is the face of the team thing that is being pushed by Rosas and Finch is pretty weak if that's how he is gonna play in the post.



Anthony Davis > KAT

And Davis wasn’t doing anything as the face of the Pelicans.

Players like KAT and Davis are not #1 options in the modern NBA

Even Denver with the Joker excelled in the playoffs last year due to Murray’s excellence in those games.

This is a guard league, simple as that.
Lebron, arguably the GOAT, being the exception to the rule.

I have to agree. You pretty much need an elite wing or guard to be the number 1. We need that to be Edwards pretty badly if he was a bigger Dwane Wade it would be a whole different story for the outlook of our team.

My gawd, the dude needs to contact Wes Johnson to get some pointers for a proper smile.

He should be able to do so much better, it's odd for sure. Maybe it was just a bad pic.


I always thought Saunders looked like he was on the verge of tears. Not saying he actually was going to cry......just, that's how he looked.

This I will agree with most of. Giannis is another potential exception as well.

Oh...and Lebron as 2nd best ever, maybe. The GOAT is, was, and always will be his royal Airness.

by the time Edwards gets to develop into that Towns will be off the team. That's why I'd give up Edwards and a farm for a a guy like LaVine or Beal.

We are without Dlo and Culver and look at that roster and this rotation.
Five to six players wouldnt be in a rotation of a lot of teams, this is in on Rosas, nobody else. The mix of lack of talent with a unbalanced roster is deadly.

And the idea that the Dlo-Kat playing together is turning this around is ridiculous like many are thinking.
But i get it, we need to have faith in something.

I’m surprised Finch hasn’t used any timeouts to stop the Buck’s runs. He’s just letting the guys play it out and figure it out themselves

I figured tonight would be rough. Tried to use the power of positive thinking, but this is about what I expected.

Agree, I would move him for a star vet too if I could. Some players right away you know they can be stars in a year or two, Edwards looks like the only shot he has is being a project player.

Trust me, I’m in the MJ camp. Others could say different, thus I said “arguably”.

Giannis maybe the Scottie Pippen that was able to lead the Bulls to the playoffs without MJ?
Just imagine if Giannis has a Devin Booker.

Let's try the Layman instant fix thing again. Maybe we come back.
