I haven't been able to watch most of the game, I just mean he was questionable coming into the game so I don't think they wanted to give 30+ mins to him if it's playable but sore

Yeah idk maybe different situation since Cole has sat out quite a bit and has gotten to heal. Franz hasn't really missed time at all

When franz is in there with cole, Ross, Harris he just doesn't get the opportunity he should be getting to make plays. It's a shame

Alright, we kept it close and competitive. That’s nice.

Time to lock in the L and create some real separation in the Tank-Race.

Shooting 34.5% against the 7-30 Pistons. Good stuff.

We've not executed well in these situations lately. Hopefully, we change that here.

Cole and Harris to run some misdirection. Ball to go to Ross. That's my guess.

Franz getting 10 shots is criminal on this team

Franz's streak is over. He was pretty much frozen out of this one. Imagine when Suggs, Fultz and Isaac return.

Figured we’d lose this one.

One step closer to the 4th pick. I’m pumped!

Do you feel it’s the group of guys (Cole + Ross + Harris) which causes the problem? Just not enough ball to go around?

Because I have been worried about Cole specifically and his impact on Franz. In the end, it doesn’t matter who puts up the points so long as the team wins but there is more to it than that. I do worry about the overall team offense and how good it can be with Cole at the helm.

Ehh, the losing skid continues. It's nicer to see closer games but I want to see some wins. Teams can create their own luck (Anthony at #15, Suggs at #5, Wagner at #8 and maybe Okeke at #16) in The Draft and who knows how those lotto Balls will bounce.

Franz probably touched the ball 3 times in the second half.

I dont get what happened. Cole and Franz were playing good balanced ball together then we froze him out. I don't get it. There were def some bright spots in this game but still more growing pains. Gary Harris was ballin

Frustrating and embarrassing 8 losses in a row now nothing is getting better everything from shooting to defensive was horrible. Why waste so much time getting the offensive going just standing around as Cole or Ross dribble for 12 seconds? Why no communication on defense if a pick is coming to switch or not?

This is just my opinion, but I don't believe that even the most hard-core pro-tankers should take solace in how awful this team is. Easily the worst team in franchise history. Finished shooting 33.7% against an opponent that was 7-30.

Chuma with another solid performance. 1-8 from the field and zero free throw attempts.

Bamba 2-7 from the field (as a center) with zero free throw attempts.

Okeke and Bamba are not good.
