Uh, him falling all over the court? Can't hit a shot? Can't shoot in the paint? Come on. Like if he was anybody else he'd be getting looked at like a g league player. I get it's a nice story. It's also not happening. Oh well, at least he's helpful for our tank.

He's never been able to score in the paint, one of the worst finishers I've ever seen.

He's 1 of 2 tonight with an assist. I feel like this is a major overreaction to the poor game he had the other night.

He was an obvious difference maker in preseason and he's missed 2.5 years, there's going to be some ups and downs.

This is a crazy overreaction.

This is ridiculous to say about a player coming back after 2 seasons. You should be concerned about how awful Coby and especially Ayo look.

They REALLY need some vet leadership. When things go wrong, there's no one to turn it around.

Coby White is just a chucker. Nothing more nothing less. On a decent team he's your 7th or even 8th man. He didn't "take a step forward" last year so much as a half step into a rotation level guy. That's all he is. His short arms severely limit him on defense and on offense he's just a chucker.

LOL what a horrible rookie call on Matas. That was a jump ball.

You read the thread? I'm worried about it all bro. Plenty of vitriol to go around. I also don't like ball doing his tony snell out there mixed with the worst of derrick rose falling over and over on defense like a deer on ice skates when he tried to come back.

Play Lonzo and Phillips. Really don't care at this point

I cannot stand all of these unforced turnovers. Passing it to no one, not being ready to catch the ball, dribbling it off themselves, stepping on the line, etc.

These are middle school mistakes

They are...SO bad.

Also, Jaren Jacksons shot looks terrible

People thought this was a 50 win team somehow.

I'm thinking, I don't care if Ball can only play 16 minutes. He's starting for the first four minutes of the 1st and third quarter. Help the offense and defense get off to a better start. With no leaders, it's hard when they start off bad. Highest IQ on the team by A LOT.
