side note on the offense, we keep doing that stupid dribble hand off weave that runs like 10 seconds off the shot clock which just ends up in fvv dribbling the ball the remainder of the shot clock trying to create a play... can someone more savvy with playcalling please break down exactly wtf theyre doing there? it looks like such a useless play.

I think a lot of that is he's playing mostly the 4 instead of the 5 like last year.

Those will all be excellent points to bring up in negotiations when the raps are packaging him with Dragic to bring in a player that can a play, or dead money and a draft asset or a combination of both.

Too early, as you don't really see any transactions between teams.
And so far we are above 500 team, so I think we rather have other teams rushing to make changes.

St one point nurse was brining boucher banton and birch in a the same time and they looked good...

It honestly makes no sense to me why nurse would constantly start achiuwa who has been our worst player by far and yet give the sort of end of the stick to boucher... yeah he's been rusty he's also coming off an injury and he's proven... achiuwa has proven nothing...

And before anyone talks about rebuilding Yada, then why is fvv playing 40 mpg... when we have banton and malachi who need to be developed...

So yeah achiuwa should be Benxhed, boucher deserves a bigger role.

They need to inject Mary Brown's into Boucher's veins. Make him gain 10-15 lb of Mary Brown's.

Boucher with two of the worst defensive plays you’ll see in ten seconds or so.

I missed the details of this play last night...OMG. Dreadful.

It does feel like this years team is trying to make homerun plays on defense rather than being solid fundamentally.

Our team has no place for low IQ players like Boucher and Precious

After watching Siakam screwing up just about everything last night, can I vote for Starter for Boucher? Give Siakam some minutes in the D-League to 'get right' so we can trade him.

Maybe this should be in a green font. Maybe not.

Boucher has been the most frustrating player this year. Although Precious is not too far behind. At least with Precious you can live with his mistakes because he's 22 years old. With Boucher, he's 28 years old.

The first play was not good, but not so bad either. That happens on charge outs.

The second play was terrible and unexplainable.
