Someone give this Mod a warning for trolling. Ive seen people banned for less lol

So giving out box score stats amounts to trolling? Maybe learn the definition?

Gradey's worst skill is his best college skill. Weird man.

I'm just wondering who people think is a good defender? If you think Jak is average and Mamu is supposedly not a "real" back-up C, how are we the 4th best D in the league with below average defense at the C position which is supposedly the most important spot?


Look at the data lol. Our best defensive line ups haven’t been coming from our starting 5.

As for the reason why most rational people want traditional back up 7 footer? It’s not purely for defensive reasons lmao. It’s because we’ve had the worst OFFENCE in the league in the last 2 weeks. Our offence can’t function without legitimate screening from our bigs. 2nd chance points from offensive rebounding, etc.


The data also shows Gradey is one of our best defenders, we can use it to fit whatever narrative we want.


Well that’s why I’m scoffing at your take that our starting 5 are all good defenders lol.

IQ is not a good defender. RJ is not a good defender, BI is not a good defender.

They show effort though and can play adequate team defence. That’s about it lol.

He is trying to fit anyone into that stupid hot potato offence of his that the concept of playing to his players strengths is lost on him

Like I said earlier, this team has poor discipline and too many bad habits. When the offense is clicking, they don't play any defense, and eventually they go cold, but the other team stays hot.

Their guards have a C to set screens for guards who can shoot and score.

We have neither

I have no clue why Darko brought back Ochai.

Stupid decision after stupid decision.

Sick of Darko.
