Brunson is dumb. He keeps trying to get a foul. Stop Foul Baiting and go to the rim

Why are the uniforms yellow vs white, they look way too similar on my screen

OG has defended Pascal on 5 possessions. Each time Pascal has scored.

We keep unnecessarily pushing the ball and get bad shots, which is leading to their transition play…, we’re doing it to ourselves

Brunson has been getting bumped on the perimeter all game and they aren’t calling that this game.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Pascal is by no means easy to defend. Only guys he really struggles with are the most elite guys who are also bigger than him. Think Isaac, and Giannis.

I think having OG guard Pascal *might* be the wrong call, OG is so focused on Pascal, that he isn't playing that much help defense, he's way more valuable as like a free safety help defender imo. When they took him off Maxey, he was much more impactful.

What hopes do you have for him? What do you see him becoming?


That's a good question. He shot 42% from 3 this year and played defense even when we didn't as a team. Occasionally gets to the rim like we just saw.

He could be better at being physical without fouling. More off the dribble stuff, even though he makes plays off the dribble now he couldn't 2 years ago. I dunno though honestly. Tough question. I'm not sure how much better he can get, he's only 24 though.

Honestly looking back im so miffed we let go of him. And it just emphatically not being worth it in the long run :banghead:

It's also limiting Pacers going to Pascal. I'm just surprised that they haven't gone to Pascal as often given the success he's been having against OG so far. The ball isn't finding Pascal at all.
