Somehow, we're still 3rd in defense.

yall are troopers for watching the game

I'll watch a replay if its anything worthwhile, but I got more important **** to do than watch the same story every game.

This is giving me flashbacks of the Vuc/Fournier/AG era in the worst way. I stopped watching because games went down the same script everytime

KCP needs the All Star break more than anyone not named Paolo/Suggs

Goga has been looking rough since coming back too, although still better than WCJ

Cole and Paolo doing some work. They have actually looked like they've had some decent chemistry the last 5 games or so.

I love Goga but he’s a backup big. But you’re right, he’s still better than WCJ.

Right now he's making roughly 48k per point scored for the season.

Good finish to the half. Great block by Cole on Trae at the buzzer! AB cooking, racking up assists and being a wrecking ball on defense.

Franz is the best player on this team and it's not even close.

Franz cannot keep up this pace. He needs a more consistent offensive threat to go along side him. We need Paolo to snap out of this ASAP or I fear Franz will get injured again.

Franz could have close to 30 if he hit those bunnies.

Controversial take: that’s in Paolo’s head more than any injury or lack of conditioning. Franz has returned from the same injury in the same form as before he went down.

This season alone if you are new to watching the NBA, you would think Franz is the franchise player and a top10 NBA while Paolo is a 1B Robin and might get lucky to be an allstar.

Dude really needs to get back in shape.

I assure you that scoring a lot doesn't equal injury lol. His defense may slip a bit if he wants to focus on offense a lot though.
