Franz will probably be the Batman. He's too difficult to stop. He's probably going to shoot the 3 around 38-40% at some point so how is a guy going to stop that long quick first step of his?

Paolo has the false confidence from Team USA so far. He needs to find less contested shots.

I’ve been saying this about Paolo. Seems frustrated when things aren’t easy for him. This isn’t FIBA dude, guys are big strong fast and don’t care that you came off the bench for USA OR the fact you won ROTY. Turn it up a little bro, your looking like Bum-chero out there

Ever since he heard about Seattle expansion he's throwing on purpose!

The strategy was very weak overall but it gave him time to process the defense and make something out of nothing. This season he looks lost trying to apply his tools to the sets they're running.

Isolate him at either elbow.

That Franz/Suggs draft is looking like a pair of aces.

Right now this all the magic shooting themselves in the foot. Live ball Turnovers, not securing rebounds, 50/50 plays. Pretty much the same stuff thay has plagued this team for years.

Isaac has got to stop looking for his offense. He needs to soley focus on defense. There where some bad shots taken by him.

Maybe Vegas since LeOwner said it makes sense that he buys the team. Seattle a short flight from Vegas: win win

I wonder what happened to that Franz one-leg Dirk fadeaway that he showed us..

Paolo is good , he just isn’t elite at anything other than moving for a big guy

I know people won’t be happy about that comp, but I like it. It’s like Ingles with less shooting but more handles.

Paolo has been avoiding contact on drives, all his drives couldve been easily fouls if he went into the contact.

The Pelicans are heavily focused on Paolo on defense, just like they were when we played earlier this preseason, but he's undoubtably just playing through the motions.

Probably not the best matchup to focus on Paolo, and we'll need more offensive creativity from both Paolo & Coach Mosley to make teams pay for them focusing heavy on Paolo on defense during the season

Paolo looks like basura out there tonight

I honestly don’t care, from a basketball-watching fan perspective, that AB and Jett aren’t going to play much… BUT from a fanatic of the team, I hate the idea of lotto picks devaluing everyday because they’re not playing.

The miss 1 ft is still a thing for us i see...

Ingram is obviously a very good shotmaker, but it always feels like he's taking tougher shots than he needs to take.
