I wouldn't discount these guys. They have an insane defense (and abhorrent offense lol)

Banchero is a foul merchant and Cole Anthony will dive at our gaurds knees.

Outside of that, this team is horrendous at the game of basketball.

Is there a reason you're not mentioning their best player?

Suggs? I think he's listed as out for tonight.

We have the best 3 point shooting team in the NBA vs the worst 3 point shooting team in the NBA, what could possibly go wrong?

I'm not in agreement at all about your evaluation of this team (not that we shouldn't win or anything) except that their offense is bad, bad

Sir, this is their 2nd worst 3pt% ever. Their worst being the 1989-90 season, their first season in the NBA.

Everyone was putting us on par or below these guys before the season tipped.

The 2 teams could not have ended up more opposite.

Agree with that. Like I said, their offense is awful haha

Mobley showing some Giannis today. He's really accelerated into taking guys off the dribble and making plays.

Went to a lineup of Jerome, Merrill, Hunter, Wade, and Mobley and used Mobley as the number one on offense. Literally looking an MVP caliber player

40 point victory, light work.

Good to see Green got a little burn in garbage time.

I didn't watch all of garbage time but I did see Green for a few possessions. Looked good.

You can see there's a surge from just about everybody on the team. Everyone is elevating everyone else, whether that's because the vibes are off the charts or just that guys are competing with each other to earn minutes in the postseason.

Green looks as advertised.

Hunter and Jerome have been insane lately.

I wonder if we'll see Isaac guarding more 4's in the future or if Paolo is just going to be a special case for him?

fwiw, Okoro currently leads the team with a +17.0 on court +/- (ignoring Green who's at +77.3 in his 6 minutes :lol:

)
