He's been open a few times, and they looked him off to attempt a difficult shot, and Harris just blew his last would be assist.

Everyone is trying to get theirs.

I guess I really don’t pay attention to KCP. Didn’t realize he was at 53% in midrange shooting.

Tristian was actually playing well. Not sure the reason for the substitute.

What do you guys think of Jordan Poole on this team?

I really had high hopes for Houstan. I am so curious why all of his hard work do not translate in the actual games.

If 2022 Poole is still in there somewhere he'd help us a lot

Poole is a fine 3rd option, bad 1st option

Mosley learned in game 71 to stagger his star's minutes. Good for him...

2 worst 3 point shooting teams actually doing well in the 1st half? The second half is going to be brutal if both teams come back to their averages.

hard disagree. You need high IQ players to win it all and that dude is one of the lowest IQ guys I've ever seen play ball.

Paolo has improved as a shooter but Jesus that finishing is still terrible.

But he was a big contributor on a championship team. I feel like if he has something to play for, he might actually be better than what he’s been the past 2 seasons.

I mean, he was a main contributor alongside 3 future hall-of-famers (and Wiggins was an all-star that year too)... and then got overpaid from that flash in the pan... and then the team that gave him that contract immediately traded him. No thanks.
