Some food for thought for those over-indexing on the DFG stats

Imagine prime Bosh instead of Bam. We’d probably be up 2-0.
For a long time it gave me nightmares,witnessing an injustice like that.It’s a constant reminder of just how unfair this world can be.I can still hear them taunting him, Silly Rabbit tricks are for kids.I mean why couldn’t they just give him some cereal?

Yeah, I see more minutes for Jovic, and Duncan probably glued to the bench

If Ware can hit that 3 at even 33% that'll be huge. But he still looks so lost and confused on D. And Wiggins still an absolute drain on everything we're trying to do. Smfh

Wiggins' jumpshot looks broken :( Hopefully he attacks the basket and doesn't settle for jumpers

I agree. I said it before, but I will say it again: Bam is not a franchise player.

He’s a good player. But if you were looking for a player to build your franchise around there’s plenth of other players.

I asked ChatGPT where it would rank Bam in the rankings of a player for a franchise over the next 10 years and it gave some good insight too.

Spoiler:
Bam is probably in the 15–20 range for a 10-year outlook. He’s one of the best defenders in the league, super switchable, a great culture guy, and he’s just 27. But offensively he’s not a #1 or #2 option, and he may not age as gracefully as some perimeter stars.

Still: If I have a scoring guard or wing as my #1, Bam is exactly the kind of big I want next to them—smart, tough, selfless, and elite on D.

Not the best of start from Wiggins. Didn't see Herro on a wide open 3 when defense collapsed on his postup. Then wasted 2 much time dribbling trying to get past Mobley. I don't mind the misses, we justt need a bit better decision making from him. He has tunnel vision when he tries to score and sometimes he misses some easy reads
