From the moment they took Franz off Tatum he went off

Might need another viable bench wing or hope TDS develops.

HARRIS!!!!!! Showing up when called on!

Great work by Franz to drive and kick. That was beautiful.

Great quarter

Hitting open 3s consistently is what will make this a championship caliber team.

He can't defend or score inside. He's a rookie that would get destroyed.

He has shown moments but he's an extremely negative player.

Uh yes he does... he has potential but he needs a lot of work to realize it.

That's exactly why Cam Johnson would be a good fit.

To do that, TDS has to up his lateral speed and movement.

We dont know what he is right now. To weak to handle the 4s down low, to slow to guards the 3s driving from the perimeter.

That's the problem with playing Cole. The defensive strategy can't be "we do everything this one specific way without exceptions... until this one backup guard comes in."

Just don't play him.

Exactly, he is unplayable during the playoffs.

I dont understand why he cant play like Pritchard. Pritchard makes it difficult for Paolo to take advantage of him.

Not a terrible quarter...we simply are not going to blow them out. Don't have the offense to do it. Paolo is WAY more composed offensively, which is nice. Franz is now the one with some terrible takes to the basket.

We went super small. Cole, Harris, AB, Franz, and Isaac.

If Gary would have taken more shots…we would have never met KCP (& maybe Jett) :banghead:

Dude is a great POA defender, legitimately tough Mich St guy…just doesn’t hunt shots

Idiosyncratic · Post #118 » by **Idiosyncratic** » Wed Apr 30, 2025 1:24 am

AB nervous again, but working his butt off.

Weltman's seat better be hot. Arguing about Cole, TDS, and Jett's playing time in the playoffs is ridiculous.

The defense right now is pretty special.
