Getting Doc Rivers alarm bells over Jason Kidd in that he cannot coach or develop young talent at all, only veterans.

Bust Alert


I liked Edgecombe from early on. Happy to hear that. Flagg will score. He's playing out of position. He's too far from the bucket.

D Lo has his flaws but he should be running point for them right now.

The debate started because the Spurs were experimenting by playing Sochan at PG and Wemby at PF during his rookie season. Once he moved to C, his numbers spiked and the debate was over


Chets numbers also went down. Dude was legit playing like a top 10 player the first 30 games lol

I feel like he has had some decent defensive plays, at least. IDK, hard to tell, this is just the beatdown of beatdowns.

To be fair to the dude, Cooper Flagg doesn't really have a fair match-up. Victor Wembanyama is the scariest paint defender in the NBA, San Antonio is loaded with defenders, and he is trying to operate as a Point-Guard.

People are dogging him, but he will be fine.

I love watching Chris Paul complain about having a foul called on hi, lol, and it is basically Paul's patented play

There's something different about Wemby's energy. He looks locked in, there's a renewed menace to him.
