I feel like Cole is a lock to grab 10 boards this game.

[basketballRob]

Diallo with good defense on Franz.

Not gonna lie, I enjoyed Franz rejecting Cunningham

[thelead]

There is very little structure to anything we do

Man okeke has fallen off a cliff....

Man okeke has fallen off a cliff....

If he can't turn it around this season, I see no reason to continue playing him next year unless we're tanking again.

If Gillespie is ahead of Mo Wagner in the rotation, then why is Wagner on the roster?

[Rick Rolled]

We play pretty well/hard against good teams. We’re just overmatched from a talent standpoint in those games and ultimately wilt down the stretch.

We are absolutely horrendous against our fellow bottom feeders.

Payback for the intel to draft Franz?

[Rick Rolled]

Starting to get the suspicion that RJ has low basketball IQ.

[JTG_92940618]

Nice find Chuma!

[RookieStar]

I know this is where the league is right now and probably for a few more seasons... but... really jist chucking up 3s by both teams?

He looked good with minutes. Some guys can do good in small roles but seems Okeke needs the ball a bit

[JTG_92940618]

RJ is getting quite good at passing when on the fast break

[3ddman23]

Franz not involved to much this game.

[basketballRob]

I think Franz's streak is in jeopardy.

Freddie Gillespie fun to watch at the end of the half there. Dude hustling all over and getting after it. He’s like a shorter Khmer Birch.
