This lineup right here might give up the lead. Our two most impactful guys in Barnes and Shead are on the bench.

Man I watch IQ make great passes (such as that Dick corner 3), protect the ball, and overall make great decisions.

And yet this board just spams how’s he’s not a PG. I honest to god just don’t understand it lol

Guys got 8/1/4 on 3/3 shooting and no turnovers. In 12 mins.

Cleveland guarding way up high right now. Shead should play a lot so he can attack the D.
not strong, only aggresive cuz the power ain't directed/ that's why, we are subjected to the will of the oppressive

I think it's just straight up good, nothing sneaky about it

We I said he would eventually be better than Fred but not as good as Kyle, I got a lot of push back.

By far, not even been close. Ochai has sucked equally on offense but been a bit better defensively.

Despite was this board thinks he was still a positive starting player


I’m not gonna get into an other fvv debate but I always said that building around him as the starting pg was gonna stagnate the organization for years to come which it did. His best role was always off the bench and that’s that.

Like I said I hate how this organization loves trying to make bench guys starters when it’s clear their best role for the team is off the bench.

:lol:

Oh man, this boards inability to be impartial regarding some players is wild.

Dude made an ASG and we still have people arguing he wasn’t good enough to start :lol:

I’m sure we would’ve loved to have him as a 6th man. Unfortunately, guys who are good don’t settle for less money and lesser roles.

I HOPE Shead one day is so good we have to complain if he’s a true all star or not one year.


Jamaal magloire was an all star…

Please apply this inpartial argument to yourself as well.

Ahhhh **** me. I can already see the new love obsession starting. This is FVV circa 2019 all over again.

Can’t wait to build this guy up just to tear him the hell apart :lol:

20-3 run at one point and only 4 free throw attempts. Cavs playing guys I've never heard of off the bench so maybe this is winnable

I don't agree with the not a pg comments but
There's a difference between running the floor and making the right passes

IQ might be our 2nd best player and this board hates him it's pretty funny.

He's been good lately. He sometimes takes shots that I"m like No IQ too soon. But it's been going in.

I hate how Ochai was arguably their best wing last year and he’s not getting a chance to outplay dick or Walter who have been worse and have no track record of anything better than what Ochai did last year.

The fouls have evened out but the FT's haven't.
