waiting for kick out threes while his bum ass teammates tried (and failed) to prove they were the man going one on one. this same shit happened at the beginning of last season.
he should touch the ball every time down the court. it doesn't happen.

11. "Are they still trying the Sochan Runs The Offense thing?" In response to Reply # 9
I know they like that long term, but I'm not exactly as optimistic as the Spurs are that he's this Scottie Barnes level reader of the floor running an offense.
Obviously on a team with Keldon Johnson and Julian Champagnie and Harrison Barnes and Malaki Branham, they're gonna have, like 2-3 non-passing scorers on the floor a lot of the time. And there's only one ball out there.

18. "definitely not low post." In response to Reply # 17
sometimes they'll post him around the FT line but they seem to use him as a facilitator (he's a good passer for the most part) in that area vs. expecting him to make a move in the lane or turn and shoot over a smaller guy.
13. "word. there's definitely SOME of what he's saying going on." In response to Reply # 12
and one thing i do agree with: Wemby does have to just start being more forceful even if that means ACTUALLY forcing things for himself. he's big enough and skilled enough that even forcing offense is gonna work out in a lot of cases (getting fouled or getting a good look over smaller comp).
but, there's definitely a lot of stupidity going on as well.
14. "Zach Lowe is still cranking out content?" In response to Reply # 12
I don't use Reddit that much, so I can't figure out what the original source of the Zach Lowe quote or more importantly, if that quote was from before ESPN fired him.

19. "this week thus far for the Cavs:" In response to Reply # 0
- Gritty comeback on the Knicks in MSG (were down 13, won by 6, Cavs were shooting like ass relative to other games, the Ty Jerome cheat code did not work)
- Belt to Ass on Lakers @ home despite a RIDICULOUS free throw disparity and multiple dudes in foul trouble
- Double digit win on a Magic team without Paolo, but with Donovan Mitchell in extreme foul trouble with the refs giving Jalen Suggs the Anthony Davis Whistle (WTF).
6-0.
Starters aren't getting run into the ground.
Turns out, the Core 4 can play together, and you can actually get spacing with the guys on this team.
Ty Jerome has been a revelation off the bench. Up & Up Rubio with better shooting.
Onto a double dose of the Bucks, who are looking like some ASS.
20. "knicks killed the pistons in a game" In response to Reply # 0
I thought they could lose if KAT sat out.
also I don't think Gianni will force his way out of milwaukee. I truly think he wants to be loyal to the org. The Nets being floated as a possible team being HIS choice has to be some front office throwing shit at the wall.
