He would’ve for sure

OKC isn’t making it out of the west this postseason

To be fair OKC is just very good at making it difficult for teams to use their size advantage. They put so much pressure on the ball

Paolo or Franz... a 6'11 dude shooting over any defender with other bigs... they cant handle it.

I wouldn't proclaim that once they get Chet back. I'm very interested to see how the Hartenstein/Chet pairing works.

If they put chet on franz then maybe... but putting Chet on Paolo? You know Paolo will bruise Chet a lot.

I was really rooting for him but he's ash, I really feel like we drafted him as a thank you to UM for the heads up on Franz.

They fought hard especially being down 23 points in the 3rd. Honestly our defense is sooo good, the problem is, our offense negates any good we do on defense.

I agree but i understand his frustration this game. We just couldnt get him the ball in the post when he established good position. So many bad passes/missed opportunities.

twitter fans not realizing in real time how teams will target your worst defender

Wait... they really thought Jett was our desginated MVP/star stopper?

-21 for Cole in 13 mins. Credit to him tonight, he had a huge impact on this game...

We gave ourselves a chance in this game, which is more than a lot of people would have predicted. The shot making just isn't there right now, but we will be okay.

I wanted AB to step up and he did. Still looked hesitant and still needs more assertiveness plus aggressiveness in attacking the hoop. Good shooting tonight. Great team effort and we did it collectively. But we needed that alpha dog and scoring down the stretch. Without our best 3 players, a loss is not unexpected. But good effort and fight tonight!

how he's used is a joke as well....he can't demand the ball with a short leash so he has to be set up.....but none of that is happening, just be a decoy or a scarecrow....not going to help development or a showcase

How do you know he has a short leash? We're in dire need of scoring and last in the league in 3pt percentage. I don't buy he has a short leash. I need to see it. He does nothing out there. That's his own doing. He's setting himself to be out the league, or 15th man scrub. I don't care who his dad is.

Players make plays that IF the other player was actively looking for it.... or expected it.... they could have taken advantage. he literally assumed that howard was gonna cole anthony that ball and throw it up. haha

Moe thinks every position he’s in is good position. He makes zero effort on defense. FFS he was shouting at Jett for not securing the rebound while as our big man he was at half court trying to streak for a fast break. He was standing in space and not even near a defender for the final 45 seconds. Total POS attitude.

Very difficult to watch this team struggle without Paolo and Franz.

Silver lining is that AB made use of his minutes and looked good.

Jett Howard does not look like he belongs in the game. Cole Anthony has taken such a step back he doesn’t look remotely like the same guy early last season.

I want Jett to succeed, I really do, but he''s starting to get Hezonja/Bamba level excuses for everything he doesn't do. I would know because I always made excuses for all of our young guys (which I thought was fair because we were tanking/rebuilding and they should play through that) .. but there's a reason why every young guy but him is showing things right now.

I truly hope that was the last we see if him, I'd so much rather see what McQueen can do in similar minutes.

Moe is good on offense but he thinks every defensive breakdown is the other person's fault and wants Mose to review everything :lol:
