I like Cole Anthony, but I can tell you right now Black/Anthony isn't gonna work with Cole off the ball.

If the plan is to play Cole off the basketball, just go ahead and trade him right now.

Isaac (injury concerns) and Mo Wagner (bad rim protection) vs. Zion is a recipe for a disaster.

Cole and Black alternated possessions at PG which is just not a recipe for success.

Yep Cole and Black can’t play together if your going to stick Black in the corner and not put ball in his hands

I am high on Markelle Fultz. Yes I understand he is not perfect and needs to shoot more and better and turn the ball over less. I would really like to see him play one more year… and I did and he sucks time to move on.

Good ole last second shots always seem to go in against us. Nothing really diffrent. No offense and just shooting themselves in the foot with the small stuff. Turnovers, securing rebound/lose balls, open 3s...

Also our classic missed free throws

Yeah… not a good look at all. I’m guessing we’re going to see a lot of experimentation with lineups all year long.

Every team literally has multiple ball handlers, this isn't the 90s anymore...

Honestly, I feel like Black is a better PG and he only played 3 minutes.

Yea kinda need to chill. Will see many rotations to test out what works and what doesn’t. I can guarantee in a real game we wouldn’t go that long without having Franz or Paolo on the court.
