DJ Hogg, that was the kinda pass you don't hesitate to pass....

Wouldn't shock me if that one ref has some $$$ on the Cavs. At all.

Who are you to doubt the Hogg-Man?!

You can just tell Suggs absolutely hates losing.

Ehh, never like to lose.

Like how competitive Jalen Suggs is though.

Tomorrow is another game.

Not sure how he'll be able to deal with tanking this season.

Looked like Suggs kept kicking it out to everyone else after he couldn’t get his own shot. I thought they mostly made smart moves, except for Hogg blowing a couple of back to back plays. But he’d also hit some big shots to close the gap so can’t blame him for the heat check.

You mean having limited talent on the roster?

Yeah, just annoying him staring at an open Wagner for 3 seconds. Reminded me of DJ Augustin

He’ll be good. Just seems like the sort of guy with an impenetrable will. He’ll just keep going at it, giving his all, until the barrier in front breaks down.

Jordan and Kobe became who they did in large part because they despised losing and would work their asses off to make sure they won.

It's a pretty good quality to have.

that was a moment lol...i'm pretty sure he wanted to shoot but his right mind kicked in at the last minute to try and make the right play only it was too late

Coach needs to break Anthony and Suggs of chirping at the refs. Let the vets and coaches speak to them. Focus on the game.
Cole has been a major disappointment, can't play off ball effectively.
Wagner is fine, feeling his way, looked almost as big as mobley.

Yeah that was frustrating. I was trying to figure out if the team had given up and were just going to run the clock out, and wonder if Hogg was questioning that too?

Cole has severely disappointed.

I really want to watch Barnes play since he's one of my favorite prospects, but they keep showing the results of the Rays game and I'm not able to watch yet due to the stupid blackout. So gonna have to skip watching him.

tooler · Post #357 » by **tooler** » Thu Aug 12, 2021 12:12 am

I couldn't help but smile at how bummed Suggs was about losing at the end. He wears his emotions on his sleeve.

RookieStar · Post #358 » by **RookieStar** » Thu Aug 12, 2021 12:12 am

So... how did Wagner do? Should we start booing him?

What I’ve learned from SL… he can’t be on the floor with Suggs or better options offensively.

Some dudes just don't translate to summer league. If he was "the guy" for the scoring role I think it would be easier because he's used to that role but he's in a weird spot where we have to see a lot from Suggs/Wagner so he has to play off ball and when it comes to him he's not really big enough to make his moves easily, that's why he backs it out and tries to go 1 on 1.

It's why he's more effective in actual games but he will have to share the court with Suggs or Ross so he has to learn
