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.

he literally won it all already

Alongside:
Steph (MVP candidate that year)
Klay
Draymond (all-star that season, all-defense second team)
Wiggins (all-star that season)

I mean, if we're adding him as a bench player, without that ridiculous contract, to take Cole's minutes, sure? I guess.

Please Orlando, don’t come out flat in this second half.

If Franz ever figures out how to shoot 3's... frustrating to see that hitch because dude could be a top-10 player with a consistent 3

Hot Take: CoJo is more impactful with the starters than KCP.

Cool, the 2nd worst 3 point shooting team already made 3 3s in less than 4 minutes.

CoJo giving us that 3 point shooting we've desperately been needing from the PG spot. So simple too: Star gets attention, kick it to the open guard.

It seems after the injury it just fell off a cliff. I think with this offseason without any sort of international obligations he should be able to figure it out during a long summer.

it's amazing how he can drive consistently with all the space teams give him from deep. Imagine if teams had to guard him tighter out at the 3pt line? BBQ chicken as Shaq would say.

I really do think Mo and Franz will just rehab here all summer. Franz just need a summer break.

Corey telling the players not to argue has been the best thing for this game. Let’s get in and out.

Of course there is a challenge.

Man, with how Paolo has been playing since the All Star game wouldn’t be shocked if he won a couple of scoring titles. Scoring is just easy for him right now.

Imagine how much better Paolo’s numbers would look without the rust induced games coming back from injury. Dude is a beast, shame on anyone on here who hated on him while he was still clearly recovering.

Not really anything to do with AB. Mosley starts third stringers for bench continuity.
