Like I’ve said for years it’s a me type offense. You HAVE to take the ball out of his hands or he will play Hero ball. He did it in college and he’s doing it in the NBA. Dude might be a good teammate but I’m over it

I’ve always known it, I’d just hoped he could be contained more to be a microwave scorer in bursts off the bench. Unfortunately his game needs too much volume for him to get into rhythm and that comes at the expense of everyone else. I’ve played with guys like that before and I hate them.

I would much rather give the young guys free rein to chuck up dumb **** instead of Cole.

im still in the camp that we shouldve waited until after this game to bring Paolo back

The wheels are falling off this team, and grinding out so many wins has our team exhausted, our players legit dont have enough in the tank. We knew this after the Jazz game.

Hopefully Franz & Suggs will be back in the next week or 2 and we wont have anymore Houstan mins

No, that detroit game was last season when he ended up hitting the game winner... At least this game he's trying to attack the rim but they're letting Denver get away with fouls.... That detroit game all he did was settle for jumpers

Paolo and Franz too old to have late 1sts play with them.

People buried teams like the Bucks and Nuggets for having slow starts but they were always going to turn it around as long as their MVP level players kept playing well and had just some help.

I don’t know what needs to happen when the FO will finally stop wanting to watch this mess and realize that they need to fix this offense. I don’t know who needs to be talked to, the coaches, the players, or the FO. We’ve made this a standard that you can be bad offensively as long as you’re decent defensively. Something has to give.

Man the playin/playoff is going to be a blood bath if we continue this way. Even with those coming back for injury, it does not totally change the offense. We need help. What can’t the FO see? This isn’t working.

AB will NEVER be elite….

Trade him while “his age” is still worth any value

They have no guard that Paolo or Franz can rely on

Been the same every year lmao

The offense is going to be run through Paolo and Franz. Who was the PG for Pippen and Jordan? Who was the PG for Wade, Lebron, and Bosh?

You’ll never be a good fan. I’m putting you on the block for some confetti from another team or something.

We don’t appear to run an offense. It is just stand around and someone make a move and shoot

We are playing the better teams in the league in this time frame but it is interesting just how bad they have been defensively without Goga.

Having MVP level players solves a lot of issues. We need our guys to continue to improve more than anything else.

Paolo really crapping the bed in this one.

At this point, trade a 2nd rounder for Brogdon. Idc about his injury history at this point. Its not like we use 2nds anyways

Here comes the calls when the game is out of reach to make it look even
