I feel like I'm in the minority but I love seeing the wins. Giving up the pick this year rather than next year could be franchise altering. Don't tank

POSTIVIES:

- OCHAI OH MY! (Loved the aggression right from tip-off. The 3pt shot is a work in progress but loved his energy on both ends of the floor. 8 rebounds in a solid effort!)

- RJ and Quick = DeMar and Lowry reincarnated (RJ is proving that this is the real him. A much improved version from what we saw in New York. Even with Scottie out and him becoming a focal point on opposing team's scouting reports, he was able to put together a very efficient night. Quick also had a tremendous all-around game. Both guys stuffed the stat sheet!)

- X-Factor Carton! This kid continues to show flashes of being an effective role player. He's got game!

- Gradey with another efficient shooting night. 3/5 from deep.

Ochai "possession ends here" Agbaji.

IQ didn't miss a free throw in cruch time, that's a positive!!!

still grabbing first page real estate nonetheless even though the value is at an all time low!

Not being able to add a top 10 prospect to this team will make watching next year just like this. I just want as much good young talent on the team asap lol.

Worst part of following this team right now is the sudden increase in ItsDanger’s post count. Truly awful stuff.

Agbaji is really good defensively, but he's one of many guys trying to do too much offensively. Dude has a ton of potential to be a stopper.

GTJ, Olynyk, Nwora, Agbaji, Brown when he plays all refuse to swing the ball. As a result of this our better shooters in Quickley and Dick don't get enough open looks when they're wide open. This needs to change and it's really just a simple buying in. How do you watch your other teammates swing the ball and still refuse to do it lol.

Quickley is really improving, and Dick looks confident.

That was a good game from the four most important players to set foot on the court for us tonight. 22/7/11 on 63 TS% with some clutch FTs from Quickley, 23/9/5/2 on 68 TS% from Barrett, 13/9/1/2 from Agbaji with some excellent defence though his shot was way off and 11/4/1 on 79 TS% from Gradey with some very heads up plays on both ends. GTJ was also pretty solid (17/5/3 with a clutch steal + layup after missing a late FT) and Poeltl was highly impactful in limited minutes before his injury.

It's going to be ugly for the most part without Scottie – and even more so if Poeltl also misses extended time – but I'm looking forward to seeing IQ and RJ as the clear top two options with Agbaji stepping into the OG role and Gradey hopefully getting more opportunities on the offensive end.

It took Devlin a few games but we have finally made the successful transition to Ochai Oh My! He is such an insufferable cornball.

Ochai managed to bump Trent out of the third option spot by taking 20 shots. My god the body and his game = tank.

Seriously, Gary is putting in work each game. The steal at the end sealed it. Great play.

No Scottie , no fun

Good win. There was just no way we could lose to a team playing Grant for 40 minutes and also featuring Bertans.

I still can't believe we got RJ and IQ for a pending UFA who didn't want to be on the team, and is injury prone.

Tough game to watch due to opponent and guys playing together who haven’t played much or haven’t played much together

I felt for one of the first times this year there was apprehension to make the extra pass

I like RJ, I think he takes too much heat…but I do think his bball intelligence is on the lower end of the spectrum

Team needs to look for Dick more.

Agbaji is extension eligible this summer. I hope they lock him up for like 4/$32. He’s a useful player when he plays within his skills and role

If I have to watch Agbaji chuck up 20 shots again I think I'm gonna stab my eye balls out. He makes Mike James look unselfish.

LoveMyRaps · Post #18 » by **LoveMyRaps** » Mon Mar 4, 2024 1:55 am

Don't get why everyone is complaining about Agbaji...

He missed wide open looks. Shots he typically makes, like the corner 3s.

I don't recall him chucking up any bad shots. He missed a couple easy looks around the basket as well.

People scream "PLAYER DEVELOPMENT!" are the same ones complaining about in-game reps.

This season is over - let the guy get his shots up, only way he's gonna get better.

Oh and he was also a team high +14 tonight - No Ochai, No win.

100%. Dude needs to know his lane or risk becoming the next Achiuwa!

Those extra shots needs to go to G.Dick

If any other guy on the team shot 6/20, 1/7 from 3, I'm pretty sure they'd get flamed even more lol
