You know who’s chemistry I wonder about? Paolo and Franz

I KNOW I KNOW wtf are you talking about yada yada yada but I’ve been paying close attention to this since last year and I can say that if you sit back and actually observe the two (highlights, interviews), being at the games (got season tix), you can EASILY tell Franz doesn’t give Paolo as much love as he gives everyone else (via celebrations, interviews, social media, etc). Same for Paolo… Have you ever seen him in a wholesome moment with Franz?

Look, I know it’s dumb but it’s sh** but these are things I look at. Watch their interviews together, look at their body language and look how one of them is always slighter leaned the opposite way as if they don’t want to have to make eye contact.

The ON COURT chemistry is A+, I’m just talking about off the court. I’m probably wrong, but I just wonder………….

You're not alone. I've thought the same. Pretty weird

No Isaac and WCJ will hurt that statistic.


Goga looked as good (if not better) than Carter against AD last game.

Isaac plays 10 mins or less a game because he's fragile. (He's like pizza delivery at this point)

This is the first time that I feel so unbothered about this game. No clue why. Don't even think this will be a win, just really unbothered.

*I will change my mind when I realized that we're up or down and have let the Mavs back in the game or have ran away with it. :)

Franz and Paolo are always reposting each others highlights on IG and are completely fine. Stop it.

If both are out, we are most definitely losing this one. I don't know what it is about star players not playing but we seem to not be able to figure them out.

During training camp, they talked about how Franz and Moe had the hold over everyone because they won FIBA. However, they said that they can't really hold it over Paolo because he was genuinely happy for them. Honestly, Paolo and Franz might not be extremely tight knit but Paolo have said that Moe and Franz are like brothers to him. They seem like they have a very good and professional relationship.

Quit trying to find a rift until there actually is one.

I noticed it whenever they were out in garbage time in the early games, those two kept executing real plays like a real game while Okeke and others just looked to get up shots. I think both Goga and Black are fantastic connective pieces. We haven’t even seen Goga posting up and passing out of the paint yet, and he is sneaky good in that regard! And Black has just been all around great and not forcing things or making rookie mistakes.

I think Okeke gets minutes tonight? Maybe Admiral? I don't know if they want to slot Jett in at PF.

IIRC Okeke did a great job on Doncic last year.

I think Franz gets pressured to be more assertive on offense.
