Regardless of how it turns out, I support the decision 100%.

I'm not sure if this is a hot take but Bol Bol might be in danger of falling out of the rotation.

I'd want to see Okeke get something out of the season and we also have Caleb.

Agreed but I'm hoping for a bit of a change in how the offense is initiated. Paolo is still being tasked with driving past guards like TJ McConnell.

Anyone taking Paolo over Benedict tonight?

Do you have opinions on anything else?


Sure, I think Mosley needs to learn and not always be so rainbows and butterflies and hold these guys accountable… I think the front office letting value slip and letting Ross, Bamba, and Hampton go for a 2nd round pick is horrendous…

I look at Detroit and think man if they get Victor and pair him with Ivey and Cade—the east is over…

But right now, I get so concerned with how enamored you all are with Paolo—just waiting for when y’all finally agree but really hoping that you all get to call me out and say I’m wrong…

Bamba is a much better basketball player. This FO overpaid to keep him but then flipped him for nothing. Just dumb asset management.

Not really much of a hot take, people are finally over the hype.

Y’all remember preseason when Mosley was talking about how Paolo could post guys and learn how to punish them—yea, hold him accountable for playing like he’s a guard and for always complaining and not hustling—Popovich would go crazy…

I actually think Bol is playing his way into a playoff quality rotation role.
