Yeah... but a Franz under the weather isnt something to look forward to. I get that "tired/heavy" feeling of a sickness. Much better we let him rest as well.

Time for Mac-Time.

I figured we'd take a small step back this season anyway, so no big deal. Take the pressure off and surprise some teams after the holidays.

Paolo is out indefinitely with a torn right oblique. Prayers up! Heal up.

Seems to be getting better day by day so we'll see how he looks Friday.... But this is the time to show people why you got a max contract.... Also we're going to see what mosely got as well because we won't have the "paolo save us" play to go to.... We actually have to run offense

Virus/whatever that laid franz, TDS , etc low might get better day by day... but honestly, average person needs more than a week AFTER its totally gone from your body to get back to tiptop shape.

So ywah... we are gonna be badder than bad.lol

AB has got his chance now. We are going to see if he's got some offense he's been holding back for whatever reason.

Suggs - black
Kcp - Harris
Franz - Jett
Wcj - ji
Goga - Moe

With Cole as 11th man

He's 20. While I would love for him to shine, I'm not expecting consistency out of him.

Cole, Franz, Paolo were productive at 20...

True but just like in every day life, we all mature/improve at different rates. I’m quite happy with AB’s growth this year but I don’t think he’s ready to shine yet… and to be fair, he may never get there.

There's no way KCP doesn't start knocking down these 3's, right? He's been shooting more wide open 3s than he was shooting last season in DEN but they just aren't going in. His FG% is down like -22%+ there no freaking way he is this trash.

It definitely sucks but there is no way he has regressed this badly. The problem is, his life just got a lot harder on offense without Paolo out there. He definitely didn’t get the same looks last night as he did the first 5 games.

I will never understand why we drafted Jett Howard over people like Gradey Dick.

Theres something suspicious with our FO obsession with Michigan players.

Its still early and Im not writing Jett Howard off but its looking rough early.

Cannot comprehend how we had a good long look at Jay Huff, he played very well, yet we let him go and now hes starting in Memphis. Biggest mistake this franchise has made in many many years. He would be a starter for us. Perfect balance defense, rim running and shooting.

Nobody is looking at a guy in G-League who played good, not like GOAT level or anything, and thinking we need to add a 7th big to a roster where guys are struggling to get minutes already. Doesn't mean he wouldn't have been a great addition, just that we have a lot of bigs who are solid (and unspectacular ultimately) and didn't think we would need one more this early.
