Also Paolo has been like catastrophically bad. If he's hurt don't play. Even this game Franz has 24 on 16 shots and is only a -6. For all of our issues he has still been fine whereas Paolo is soaking up 30 possesions a game at Anthony Black shooting efficiency.


He relies on the whistle too much and forces shots against double teams because he thinks it’s double the chance to draw a foul. One of him or Franz need to focus on being a facilitator and creating for others, and since Franz is an efficient scorer it should be Paolo. If he was more of a threat to pass he’d create more opportunities to score and draw contact.

This team looks done. I don’t even see how they make the playoffs. The offense is so bad, it’s not possible to overcome such a gigantic deficiency. WePark you are on the clock.

Thats what happens when you dont have a PG

If they dont bring it up a majority of the time, then teams pressure the ballhandler and force TOs

Having them bring the ball up tires Paolo & Franz out, which is great of course /s

Anthony Black: 15 mins, no points, no assists, 2 turnovers, one rebound. Exemplary. Blowing the 2 lotto picks on him and Jett should come with hard time at Alcatraz

I know most of you remember the good ol’ days of us having a promising start to the season only to go on to lose nearly every game in January/Feb. It felt like every year of the Vuc/Fournier era went that way.

I really wish we got atleast one of Cason Wallace or Dereck Lively in 2023. Those were my favorite 2 players available when we were drafting

AB & Jett just aint cutting it, and we dont have the luxury of time or fit to wait for them to figure it out
