Exactly my point. Not a lot of sense as there are no saviors available. Reset in the offseason using current and future assets.

This game is completely winnable. Paolo and Franz just need to step up. Paolo showed signs of life in at the end of third and Franz is showing life now. Hopefully it continues.

Staying afloat for so long without Franz and Paolo really gave me false optimism that we would be able to hit the ground running within a couple weeks of their returns. This level of complete and total regression is astounding.

Problem is he only shows signs of life on one side of the court. Completely mails it in on defense. It’s one step forward two steps back.

Hell no. Jeff better not sit on his ass watching another deadline past. Our saviors need to step up and this FO needs to get to work.

Gary drove into three people because he saw Wendell Carter wide open and thought "that is as good as a turnover"

Jett +9 in 2:45 minutes of play, with a 3 in that time frame.

Something something defense doesnt matter if you are good on offense.

Offense looks way better with point guard Franz.

Jett was left wide open on both those last 2 magic possessions. Gotta hit him in those situations.

Franz is still a dude.

Waste assets for a short term move in a season going down the drain? No sense.

Yeah put Franz at point and let him get downhill... Feel like that should be known from the winning streak.

What assets? AB?! Jett?

Don’t make a short term move. Make a good one.

Nah…Jeff has sat and allowed many deadlines to past doing nothinng. Not this time.

That bounce out was insane
