Shead needs to work on a floater aside from 3pt practice

lol okay. How has the narrative became FVV didn’t defend? :lol:


People remember the playoffs where Maxey would burn past Fred. Fred wasn't a good POA defender.

Fred was above average for defending and stealing but lost a step at the end.

So when he was hurt?

Man if CMB was so impactful, despite missing easy shots.

I was chatting with my boy about IQ and we both prefer Shead running the show compared to IQ. He just does not have that PG savvy that you want in your lead guard. On top of that he's not a walking paint touch like Shead.


I hope your boy has some influence.

Not a single rational person would take IQ over Suggs right now... youre better than this lol.

Suggs has a lot of what made Lowry great for us that cannot be quantified by basic stats. Hes still not a finished product.

For our current roster construction I think I’d take IQ over Suggs tbh.

His 3pt volume and range spaces the floor in a way this team really needs, and I don’t think there’s a significant difference as playmakers.

Defensively Suggs is on another level, but I’m higher on IQs defense than most around here.


We have already seen how effective Shead is with our starting lineup and hes basically a poor man's Suggs at the moment.

When IQs on his game, he provides almost everything the team needs but too bad his consistency is like a 6th man rather than a franchise starting PG. We need him impacting the game more than just being able to shoot, which he doesnt really do at the moment.

We've seen Shead close one game with the starters so far, it's a huge leap to say he's more effective than IQ.

It's only IQs second full-time year as a starter, I think it's fair to give him some time to find his consistency considering how good he is when he's on.

Now have CMB work on his offense and this guy will be something


I’m thinking that first sentence is a green font.

Second night of a back to back and our bench got us the win. Heck yeah.


Nope, we should not be losing to a team who’s lead by Paolo Banchero. Maybe if Wagner and Suggs were playing I would say it was a tough game while missing RJ and Poeltl.

We got behind because for some reason we always go down early (coaching preparation). Then they missed a bunch of open and easy layups and Orlando was killing us offensively which should not happen. Orlando is not a good offensive team. Then Darko threw out some dumb lineups and did his stupid set time substitutions. Everything got better in the second half including Darko.


I’m very tempted to throw IQ under the bus re: slow starts. I will refrain for now, but at his contract I’m looking for more. He’s an ideal 6th man if we have a solid PG. I’m at the point where I could be convinced to trade him in a trade that brings in a bigger PG or Giannis.
I believe in Masai.
