Lets concentrate on the game first. Check your anger and disappointments first boys... we can revisit that after the game

You think its a Gary Harris revenge game or Gary Harris cardio night?

Neither. The dude isn’t even playing.

“[The front office] wants two-way guys who add to what we already have in terms of our defensive identity, length and versatility. Shooting is a big part of what we need to improve on, whether we go and get somebody or try to develop guys. I don’t know which way they’re going to approach that. And having a guy who can set the table and be reliable. We have a lot of talented guys who can make shots and make plays: me, Franz [Wagner] and Jalen Suggs. I would rather be more of an offensive hub than the point guard, if that makes sense.”

This is what Paolo said last summer. Our FO is not listening.

Luka has been in LA for less than a week and the Lakers already got him the type of big he wanted.

This FO is trash.

Devil’s advocate, Paolo’s last game was one of his better and that’s because he focused on setting the table and being the PG (also helps the team was making shots for once).

This season is now an opportunity for him to grow his impact rather than just being a foul hunter.

Where is everyone tonight?

Far out, Cole picking up 2 fouls in 2 seconds.

Well, as long as we get to play against bad defenses (like the Kings) in the playoffs, we'll be great!

“Banchero, a lot of standing around” yeah…that’s probably why we needed a trade for a shooter.

What kills me is the narrative that "this will help Paolo & Franz develop more". They have played without a PG for nearly 3-4 seasons now, getting a PG is the next step to allow them to develop, not leaving them without one.

Tatum & Brown developed while having a PG, why do we not have to have one in order for Paolo & Franz to develop? fill in the gaps and you see that the real answer is our FO is an incompetent, inactive bunch

and i didnt even like what was available during this deadline, but we've had so many previous opportunities in the past and didnt do so

Franz adding the mid-range game doesn't seem to have gotten much attention

[KillMonger]

mosely....can we stagger paolo and franz better? i'm tired of seeing them BOTH on the bench at the same time

[eyriq]

Good start

[Knightro]

Paolo giving better effort defensively early on here.

[Knightro]

KCP's middy has actually been incredible this year.

[ORLMagicGirl15]

That Nikola call out is weak compare to “Keegan Murray”.

Staggering is a double edged sword because it also means less time together too. But Mose for three years now has treated the end of 1st-early 2nd as bench time basically and it usually goes decent but some games it can backfire.

We need a Hank award. We can call the Hankies.
