Franz unfazed by the presence of Wemby in the paint is quite a sight

I would love for Paolo and Franz to train together this summer with whoever is the best shooting coach in the world. It would unlock so much.

Completely reasonable, it's just considering Paolo's Play in the post season and his play to begin the season OBVIOUSLY something is off and this is not the Paolo we know. So what purpose does it serve to constantly pile on the negativity? Especially when you know he's not himself?

My main concern is that he is himself but:

a) other teams have figured out how to neutralise him
b) without the benefit of the whistle the rest of his game falls apart.

But also I just need more patience for him work through the lumps.



I also think we’re going have add C which is that oblique might still be an issue.

AB +19 with 14 points on 6-7 shooting.

Franz +18 with 33 points on 14-24 shooting.

Great games for those two tonight.

Castle definitely has more PG abilities than Suggs as a rookie

That read on the pass to Barnes was pinpoint

This team just isn't good enough defensively anymore.

I was wondering when Barnes 3 would come into play.

Go Magic, Go Dwight, Go Vuc, Go Paolo, Go Keegan :)

Our team plays basketball without a PG. Without a skilled passer. Major issue.

Holy cow the Spurs put four people on Franz and he still shot it. This team is so desperate for new players around Franz.

Fair. I’m no physio but his range of motion doesn’t seem impacted. His cardio definitely seems down compared to where he started. Same with his legs and hops.

Suggs needs to get healthy.
KCP needs to get traded for offense.
