Nice pass by AB to end the quarter. Props to TDS for hitting the wide open shot, those are hard around here.

Well if you have 2-3 guys on the court that aren't real offensive threats, it makes Paolo’s job a lot harder.

These **** idiots challenging Jaren Jackson on a 3/4 court heave says so much about this team.

I’m over the heliocentric Paolo/Franz ISO’s. Once in a while? Sure. But it can’t be 90+% of the offense.

Some of these shots that Banchero is taking are like a turnover. They have no chance, and players are open on the perimeter.

New nickname, "Bad Shot Banchero".

That was simply dribble penetration from a guard spraying it out when the defense collapses. We don't have a guy that can do the regularly.

He’s making his own job harder. Franz had a lob and drop off to WCJ, Paolo picked up 2 fouls forcing his shot while guys were wide open.

Yes true, but he also need to pass the ball to get others involved.

Missing open threes: "WHY ARE WE SHOOTING THREES?"

Having congested paint shots: "WHY ARENT WE RUNNING PLAYS?"

Something has to give :lol:

Da Silva is looking good out there. Moving the ball well. Pushing it in transition.

This unit has played well aside from Jett missing his threes. AB energy is good, I'm sure it will lead to 15 minutes of play time.

Caleb is a lost cause but we really need jett to somewhat remotely pan out. We can't have him be a Houston 2.0
