This is so frustrating. It’s like we brought a super soaker to a gun fight and we’re still shooting ourselves in the foot with it
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.

Mosely is gotta have to get a more cohesive offensive scheme going. This taking turns stuff aint sustainable

Surely all of us have had that one boss that tried to be everyone’s friend and then when it’s time to hold people accountable or lay down the law he doesn’t know how and can’t—that is Mosely…

The only reason the defense was stellar was because of Dale Osbourne…


Osbourne is still here.

Tom Thibodeau, Mike Malone, or Taylor Jenkins? Who do we prefer?

Maxey making some crazy shots. Don't even think the D was that bad on those outside of Goga probably could have been up a bit more on one of the screens.

Why does Bane keep attacking? We got him for his 3s not his slashing ability

As he misses an open shot


Yeah. Why is 20ppg sniper Desmond Bane missing open shots though?

Is it the Disney logo on the jersey? Or is it because shooters can’t get into a rhythm due to 2 guys eating up every possession whether it’s good or not?

The sad thing is, we've shot so many more free throws than them, they're gonna get all the calls in the 2nd half lol. While having a 20+ threes made game.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

I joke about the curse but Bane suddenly not shooting well is pretty crazy. He’s actually talented unlike KCP. This is kind of crazy so far. Hopefully it’s just a chemistry thing

DNPing him is a way of making that in contract no longer fully guaranteed. It’s actually smart to not let him hit that game threshold

That's literally not what's happening lol. People are complaining about Franz not touching the ball but also eating up every possession? It can't be both.

Paolo is playing like who he is. It's not as bad as last year but he will always have an iso component.

Hilarious how literally nothing is Mosely’s fault.

It’s all on the players. Terrible shooting team for years and it’s mysterious juju why every known decent shooter just falls off the map.


Sure sure sure
