I just don’t get why we keep relying so heavily on the worst element of our offense?

Teams load up inside because we can't shoot.

Healthy team personnel is full of people who like to shoot.

Hard to get inside without resistance from half court.

*shrug*

They’re really not loading up inside all that heavily, our guys give up attacking the paint too quickly. And they’re closing out pretty hard so they’ll bite on pass fakes from the paint too.

Some mediocre rim protecting by Wendell.

I almost need to turn it off when Wendell is on floor. It’s terrible for my mental health

This is a completely irrational reason to get mad, but Wendell smiles too much for my liking

Other teams keep allowing us to take them. We keep obliging.

Maybe not this game, but in general. But the real issue is only a few guys attack with any gusto. Paolo, AB (great at times, turnovers still a problem), Cole and he's a short king.

Cole doing some great work getting to the rim! He’s having a good night in that regard.

Always enjoyed watching Cole and the creativity in his game

WCJ = non-impact

Rim protection is essential

We play so slow. We play like we're an elderly team.

It's incredible that it's only a 6 point game

KillMonger · Post #157 » by **KillMonger** » Sat Jan 18, 2025 12:54 am

don't have the personnel to do so but.....we're still switching.....ok......LOVE cole anthony on tatum

Post #158 » by **Bensational** » Sat Jan 18, 2025 12:54 am

Tatum just threw the ball in the air after the foul call - isn’t that an automatic T?

He has also probably copped some of the worst calls like that this season so maybe the refs were told to chill?

I don't think Wendell has a chance to win the starting job back. What he gives is too inconsistent.

Wendell plays like a talented player with a worm in his brain controlling the levers telling him to make stuff as difficult as possible for no reason
