going to win us a chip like and still be told not to do it!


I have no issue with people wanting him to stop with the iso crap on the wings, it’s the toughest shot in basketball.

But when it’s dribbling into a wide open, in rhythm pull-up? Take that **** lol

This Porzingis in the post better be spammed in big games. It’s arguably our best option on offense since JT doesn’t have a go to move.

That last one was in rhythm, it wasn't heavily contested (defense sagged off) and the shot came after we worked the ball around to try and find a better shot. So I was fine with that one..

He should totally take pull-up 3's. He just needs to pick his spots for when to take them..and not take too many of them each game..
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

That's a good play by KP. Fall down, get two FTs.

When you have a 7-3 ultra talented unicorn, you maximize his time on the court.

KP not letting us down here in the 4th.

Doing the hard work.

It doesn't make sense. KP's offensive usage rate is too low especially in the post.
