Sensabaugh is better than Jett. Both have similar games, but Sensabaugh makes more shots. Both have the same physical attributes.

You only have one dimensional shooters without defense, combo guards that can't pass and are bad on defense or both. :lol: :roll: Even Fox is only a semi fit. The Cavs were so lucky that Mitchell was available right when they were finished tanking.



How MItchell ended up on Jazz is one of bigger trade fuc**es in nba history.
Nuggets just decided they don't want 13 pick and dumped it for 24th pick and Lyles who was comming off 6 ppg, 43% eFG season :lol:

13 pick turned into MItchell in season where they lost Hayward and due how elite Mitchell was as a rookie, they hardly missed a beat ( from 51 to 48 wins).

I don't think Sexton is some elite player but i would take just about any guard who can put ball on the floor, set pick&roll and pass & shoot. And put some damn rim pressure for once. Even if it's off the bench for 18-20 min.

Last night our guard to set offense was Travelin Queen. Cole Anthony, KCP and Houstan combined for 32 shots. It really can't get worst than this.


I love how we expended PT of our $25M man from 13 to 14 min tonight and he stepped up with all 2 points and 4 rebounds.


Dude got paid. He can relax now.

Only job left is to put on bulk so he can withstand the physical part and so hit whatever minutes targets he has in his deal for future years.

FO got what they paid for.

Isaac could be playing injured because I think he needs to play 52 games to be fully guaranteed. He knows the Magic could sit him for an exaggerated amount of time if he says that he's hurt.

Tough one to swallow because we’re not going to get a better chance at another win for a while.

How about the Florida trip for Sensabaugh? 34 in Miami and 27 against us.

Jett’s 21 was very empty.

Cole’s 11-assist game in Toronto was very fake. He can’t start ever. Mac should start over him.

We've explored this team's depth and found the bottom.

DNP - Coaches Decision last night for AB strange just how short handed we are. Be honest, is he on the trade block or what?!?! I don’t want to hear an injury excuse, if you dress you’re able to play unless something else is going on it makes no sense.

Some reasons for not playing him:

1. Break in case of emergency
2. Saving him for today

This whole season is an emergency lol, if he’s well enough to dress he’s well enough to play.

Mosley weird love for Cole is annoying. Such a self centered person.
I dont know why Jett 21 points are "empty". He was guarded closely, he was not being set up and his playmaking was better than our starting pg.
I liked Sensabaugh a lot before the draft. He looks good.
My money is on Banchero going number 1 !

Bad loss but such games are likely to happen when all of your top scorers are out,even against tanking teams. No need for doom and gloom.

Weird box-score item: both teams' benches scored more than their starters.

Wild.

I thought Jett was decent. He's very inconsistent defensively - v hot&cold - and there were a few times in the first half he got into the paint well and then spurned the drive to the rim in favour of ill-advised kickouts. Kind of weird choices I thought.

But he has some craft, some floor vision, has confidence in his handle which is sorely needed on this team and looks the most likely player out of everyone to hit the 3s he takes. They don't miss by much.

Perspective: we're 21-16 while missing PB, FW, MW, JS and AB for extended chunks.

I would have been relatively OK with 16-21.

i dont want to see Caleb player over Jett anymore.
Mose has Caleb playing power forward most of the time so I wouldn't worry about that
