You know everyone wants to blame Bane but our centers are absolutely pitiful.

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.

Sure, let's face guard Jalen Duren 24 feet from the basket. That's the scouting report, yep.
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.

Twixt Wendell & Borat, we have the worst C rotation in the known universe.

This is becoming a crisis. Our defense doesnt exist and we have no offensive system.

Goga is a pretty overrated defender. He can play drop at a high level and the metrics love him, but put him in space and he just dies.

5 games in and I may be already mentally checked out. But not as checked out as some of these players. Disgraceful.

They have to fire Moseley. He’s just not good enough.
