If we don't sign Biyombo within the next week or really anyone that is serviceable at center that speaks volumes. Taj is trying but damn

wow
it appears the basketball gods have looked upon us a little more favorably in the last few years. We never used to get wins like that when we trying to build. The team has bought in with the coach. If we could get a post blessing.... I'm loving this team

He'd average 35 a game if he wouldn't start games looking hungover

Why is Grant taking the gw shot?

Cmon Lee you gotta do better getting your stars the ball in that situation. Miller bailed out this horrible last second shot smh.

Awesome finish!

Our game management is awful though. Up 3 with 24 seconds to go out of a time out and you don't contest the inbounds at all, offer them an uncontested layup and only use 2 seconds of game time. Either the players miscommunicated on that play or Lee made a bad coaching call to give them a free layup to avoid fouling.

We can't inbound the ball. We haven't been able to inbound a damn basketball since Vietnam

Doesn't matter he's still a top 2 player on the team.

Are you fine with Grant Williams taking the last shot moving forward?

Melo or Miller needs to be taking those shots. Maybe Miles as a 3rd option.

My man I'm not going through another season with you defending Miller like he doesn't do anything wrong. Ill go to reddit or something. He **** up and made amends.

I wanna be excited because we hit a game winnner and Melo went off but it’s hard knowing he’s got ankle soreness and we have another coach that can’t draw up an inbounds play

I actually cannot stand how this team plays basketball, there’s basically zero thought behind any of it, no strategy in attacking mismatches, no targeting of poor defenders. We just yeet 3s and hope it works out

Nobody is defending Miller. I said either he or Melo needs to be taking the last shot.

Damn right youre not mY man. Dude inbounded the ball on the previous possession and waited long enough for a platoon to surround him. Hell no they won't go to him. Stop.

honestly I don't really give a **** who takes the shot as long as it's a good one.

Busted in bounds finds its way to an open Grant with no time on the clock means fire away.

Bro if you don't like my post just block me. I don't know you like that. You coming at me with crazy weird energy after a win. All I said was Melo or Miller need to be taking those last minute shots with the game on the line.

I mentioned nothing about Miller almost costing us the game as that is another discussion. He's still a top 2 player on this team you want the ball in those guys hands with the game on the line not Grant Williams.
