*Allegedly* Mosley's been running the hell out of them for two straight weeks in an effort to get them prepared for a more consistent uptick in pace.

Legs could be a bit dead right now from all the running.

Come on Knightro he's the 3rd best guard on the team right now.


That's aggressive :lol:

I definitely think Jase can be that in due time, and probably not all that long. Not sure he's for sure at that ranking yet.

AB is just too inconsistent and Jones plays with zero energy or moxie.

Yea might need to take a break from this forum to actually enjoy this year lol
Fine print disclaimer for Fultz:
I am high on Markelle Fultz. Yes I understand he is not perfect and needs to shoot more and better and turn the ball over less. I would really like to see him play one more year… and I did and he sucks time to move on.

Tyus is going to get a lot more hate this season than is justified on the simple fact he's not Jase :lol:

Just for my sanity, I need to see Bane make a 3.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.-John 3:16

Go Magic, Go Dwight, Go Vuc, Go Paolo, Go Keegan :)

KCP didn't make a pass of this caliber the entire season last year.
