Maybe with how bad Indiana plays defense, it can jumpstart our attacking ways again.

Yep Cole with the ball in his hands is not for the starting 5. Cole would have to be 90% off ball for it to be a positive

I'm sure it's frustrating to see their opponent parade to the line, but Indiana just keeps getting beat on every drive and fouling. Since they want to play fast, honestly they'd be better off conceding the basket and running off the made shot instead of stopping the game.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

Cole tries hard but he's so undisciplined as a defender... Always fouling

Maybe me it’s me getting old and how the game is now played but I was more upset with Caleb. When I was younger you were taught on a fast break that all players go towards the rim. On that 3 on 1 fast break Caleb swing out. I feel like that Cole did the right thing since the defender didn’t really commit to him or Franz and was caught in the middle.

JI is really long. He just swats shots without effort.

Got a question for you guys, would you

A. JI plays 60+ games plus POs but only 15mins a game

Or

B. JI plays less than 50 games plus POs but averages 25mins a game?
