There is a little difference in the shots their PG creates vs ours.

CMB is such a difference maker. His work in the paint is what’s making everything work on either end.
not strong, only aggresive cuz the power ain't directed/ that's why, we are subjected to the will of the oppressive

It's wild how confident I feel about defensive rebounds with CMB in, even though he's not visibly big

IQ’s days are numbered if Scottie is as out on him as it looks sometimes. He didn’t even look at his side of the court.

i think people want him if you have to pick between him and trae - but ya, he leaves you wanting for sure, that step back 3 was fine and wide open, but for some reason he decided to shoot it and do some weird leg kick/mini fade for absolutely no reason (style points???) , no surprised it bricked

What is Jack talking about. we love calling the first timeout.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

If he could be a little more of n offensive threat even in a pick and roll it would be so much better for our offense

We need to stop shooting 3s to start the game I'm serious. They leave our shooters open because they want us to shoot instead of our driving game.

It's like after he makes a couple of nice passes he feels like he's earned a shot, and so he just hucks up a trash step back lol
