He can’t figure out how to get open to receive a pass in the backcourt. He’s definitely not back, but I’m happy he made a 3 finally to break his drought.

Best offensive quarter and it’s not a shocker we dialed back the pace. Let’s just focus on getting more into actions faster and we can play around with pace when guys get more familiar with each other. It felt way too much too fast.
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.

There we go! Suggs to Tyus to TDS for the quick corner 3. That’s what I’m talking about!

The fact Tyus can’t even get open to bring the ball up the court is killing me.


I think you are absolutely correct while not the best player Suggs might be the most important player. They just play better with him on the floor.

Sometimes it is hard to tell if you actually look better or if the opponents are just missing their open 3s and you are making yours LOL.

Mosley needs to learn to call timeouts at least sometimes on bad defensive possessions.

Yeah he’s not the most skilled guy or best player in the court, but he’s the best leader and motivating influence for our team by a wide margin. He’s the kind of guy who can turn a mistake into motivation in the same play.

Kinda blew that transition, but at least we didn't turn it over lol.
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.
