I appreciate Bane's ability to score beyond 3pt shooting. But right now I need him to just trust his shot.
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 don't know if AB needed to save that like that, then he misses the layup.

Wendell's defense has been really really bad. Awful help, no rebounding.

Really pissing me off getting destroyed on the glass. Only reason this is a game
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.

AB isn't it unfortunately.. and Bane does not look like a guy worth 2 unprotected 1sts, let alone 4. Yet some say Weltman is good.

AB couldn't have just grabbed that huh? Just randomly throw it behind him?

I feel like Franz, Paolo and Bane have all seen much more contact than Duren when they try score in the paint but they’re not getting the whistle the way Detroit is.

What in the world was AB thinking with that. I mean...what? I just...sometimes...I don't know.

Btw, ever since the failed challenge, the calls (or lack thereof) has been pretty heavily in favor of Detroit. How bout instead of feeling like they need to make up, just give them the call on the challenge. Makes no sense.
