SL Game Thread # 1: CaKnickians vs. Pelicanos

[Garbagelo]

RJ starting to force stuff now. That's the type of stuff I was worried about, I feel like we're gonna see a lot of that this year. Fiz ain't gonna tell him not to do that, so he's not gonna keep doing it

Mitch is Mitch, Knox looking significantly better, and I do like Trier, but man does the ball just stop when he's on the floor. He's a good player, just kills what little ball movement we have

His teammates will tell him to stop it or we better hope they do

Rachel Nichols' mannerisms seem so fake.

Rachel Nichols is a mannerism with a red wig, not an actual human being

[Thugger HBC]

This is a group of youngsters, they wont play team ball this early. They showing their wares right now. I see no issues.

I’m concerned with the free throw shooting, but I like RJ in the open floor. He’ll be fine.

Knox looks better on defense? Rebounding?

I mean it'd help if there was a system in place.

Practice how you wanna play right?

We had better offense with backup PG Kadeem than with sharpshooter Trier.
Mitch is fine - blocked Zion at least twice, once got his 3. That's awesome.
Knox playig great out there today, in control, unlike last year SL.
RJ is playing his first SL game as a rookie - he can be a little tight. He looks good and will get better.

[YungKnicks]

No more PT and Shots for Trier... sit on the bench! LOL
Give RJ the ball.. we need more fast breaks

[Garbagelo]

Barrett not as explosive off the dribble as I expected....

[Fury]

People love defense and just ignore Barrett’s defense because he missed a few shots

[Guano]

Knew it. We should have went Garland

1/2 of the 1st sl game and we are already jumping ship

[Da_Mane_Man]

Imagine Mitch at the 3pt line dribbling between his legs and draining a pull up 3.

[HarthorneWingo]

Yo serious question

How does someone who was "bred for this", literally has Steve Nash as his godfather, has been trained since being a toddler still suck at free throws?

Bro I'm fat and 5'9, played intermittently ever since I left college 8 years ago and I'm still shooting 60% from FT. This is unacceptable.

It's his first SL game. Unacceptable? Get your chit together

Exactly. I mean, I shoot 80% with my eyes blindfolded.

Knox is a major talent my friend. You'll continue being wrong about him.

He looks halfway serviceable on defense. Which is a massive step up from worst in the NBA last year

[HerSports85]

Ok pause.. RJ a good passer. He’ll be ok. Just need to relax and play his game.

We need to get him some easy shots

Attack the rack, hit the open three. Everyone on the court is playing like this.

[3toheadmelo]

RJ isn’t the answer at point. Let’s end that talk rn

Don't know if he is or isn't, he aint play point yet.

He gets tunnel vision too much and doesn’t have a handle to break down the defense. Those were my main concerns with him throughout the season. Nothing has changed still.
