The only thing we are doing at a high level is get to the free throw line. Which doesn’t matter cause we can’t make them

Sure there is. One guy has a future here and one does not.

And the difference between them currently doesn't seem like it's all that wide, if there even is a gap.


I can guarantee you Isaac would provide much more value than Penda.

And Isaac is being paid 15 mil/year to have no future?


He's done here pretty obviously, yes.

If so, yet another asinine decision by this org. Add it to the pile.

What's so unbelievable about it Dante? Being trash at the line is not new for us. Maybe for Franz it is. His new form just doesn't look good for his free throws. His old, flatter shot worked better for him at the line. I guess we can't live the good life and have him shoot both free throws and threes well at the same time.
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.

Last year we were like the worst 3pt shooting team in history, now we are aiming for the worst FT team in history

We're going to be in the 20s on offense and defense after this game.

It's unreal. I'm holding onto hope that Mosely overworked the team during training camp because the team all looks a step slow and arent jumping as high, etc as the opposing teams

JI plays now? Mose is forced to play him with WCJ's foul troubles but it would be a bad look for JI to play well here.
