We all wanted Tyus. He’s playing how we all expected except his 3s are rolling out. Once one goes he’ll be fine.

I just want it on the record that I wanted Andrew Nembhard.



He wasn’t obtainable.

Wendell is holding his groin or something. It's about time for him to take off his traditional month or two.

You might as well say you wanted Luka :lol:

I’d take him too but I don’t think the Mav’s GM would ever do something that crazy.

I'm not saying we aren't missing shots but I find it suspicious how this game is being called.

Two different identities from your best players. Not sure how this is going to play out.


Paolo just seems to be pouting. It's been that way since training camp. He doesn't seem happy for some reason and his play sticks out like a sore thumb. He just doesn't seem to fit with what we are doing. Something is up.



That’s bull, don’t make **** up.


I won’t comment on the above, but he definitely looks sluggish and out of shape. Looks lethargic and doesn’t get his typical lift on his shot.

However, it also appears (not saying he is) but it looks like a player that doesn’t like or wasn’t prepared for the change of pace.

He isn’t a high pace player and is use to slowing things down which is why he benefited from a playoff setting land why Orlando was one of the slowest teams in the league last season.

Franz came ready to play and his euro stint helped a lot.

Paolo will get better throughout the season as his conditioning improves, but he’s going to have to adapt or he will be left behind.

It's so obvious that if Tyus can't spread the floor, then he doesn't fit

Hes on a one year deal with Anthony Black as a replacement when Suggs isn’t back to playing real minutes.

Your gripe should really be with Mosely flat out not testing Jace while Suggs sits healthy on the bench.


This is reading like last year when people were saying Mose isn't playing Jett as if he was savior lol. He played and then we lost like 2-3 games in a row versus tanking teams.

Jase should play just because he's an infusion of energy, but the real issue is these guys HAVE to hit open shots and get used to the pace. Most are but all of the Duke players seemingly look lost as soon as the season started. At least WCJ looked good in preseason.

If we're depending on Jase/Penda to save us in game 3...


Yeah I mean I get it, but Tyus isn’t a long term option here. Jase is here for 4 seasons and Anthony Black isn’t a point guard.

So the difference here isn’t really about “saving us” it’s just logical investment. Like id rather know more about Jase before AB talks come up.

Tyus is just filling in for one season and people cannot shut the **** up about him like he’s recently signed a 4 year max or something. :lol:


He’s playing heavy minutes and he looks like the worst player in the league. People have every reason to talk about his play. I fail to see how the length of his contract is germane.
If you see something suspicious, say something suspicious.

Someone other than Franz or Paolo needs to step up.

He's cooked, it's clear as day

That severely hurts the trajectory of this team if he has truly lost a step. That said, it looks like he is giving less effort in an effort to not get injured... which really sucks


We will see Penda & Jase in the rotation alot quicker than we expected

Paul wouldn’t have let us lose last night, and he would have done a lot to try and get the crowd going tonight.

That’s the art of a legendary PA Announcer.

Tribble has been very quiet at the worst times , he’s not doing the job.

How long until Mosley completely abandon's the fast pace offense and goes back to the grindfest style from the last three years?

Watching us playing offense is a mystery. I have no idea what our offensive identity is supposed to be.

Tyus is unplayable. I wonder how long Mosley is going to kill his own chances of winning.

I know this may not be popular but our play by play guys are very annoying sometimes
