Shaq is right about what we said. We’d be winning by double digits if it wasn’t for Booker.
Certainly true


We may win game 1 too if Paul doesn't go off. That's the issue playing a team much better than you. It'll always be someone going off or else you coulda won, when in reality you had little chance from the get go.

I’m to the point I’d rather give minutes to Temple over Graham.

That's why they needed to make the playoffs for the experience. I want them to win so bad.

He absolutely can if we continue to give him open shots.

Preach


Defense will still be a big issue but the offense will just outscore teams many nights.

Not really a good representation of the current team.

It’s simple mistakes
This is why.


Yep. Trey is going to make rookie mistakes. He's being asked to basically just provide some shooting while also being asked to guard guys way above his level right now.

Let's wait in 2-3 years when he's tacked on some muscle, improved his D and we have Z running shite.

Is there a potential package that we'd listen to for Zion? Like any team with 2 lottery picks that we should root to win it (if our lakers ball doesn't hit)?

Getting the top pick this year with year the attached year 1 rookie contract and a couple future firsts plus a legit young starter would be tempting to me. Then we have Lakers pick too.

Define big issue because we’ve been a top 10 defense since January

Yeah all in all I'm pretty encouraged by that half

Our overall team is having a better game than their team, but Booker is going Chris Jackson on us. They have to get physical with him and do anything they can so he can't get shots off. At least force him to take some 2s at least.

Zion being added back into the fold will hurt that.

Yep. Need another guard to replace Graham and probably another wing. And for Trey to improve defensively. Then we'll be right there.

If we're just average on D next season with healthy, we win 50 games.

If we're top 10, we likely won't be, we'll win 55+

Noticed this as well .. trey getting caught between two men alot
He's been spinning in circles all night. Team's been switching screens all season and he's still getting confused on what to do.

We put Naji in for Graham, for one play against Paul and he immediately blew a screen.

Hard to slow team's down when Herb is the only perimeter defender that understands what he's doing.

You mfkers crying about 36 and 46 play in team, first time in the playoffs in years, going against the team with the best record in the NBA, who made it to the finals last year. , and we not getting blown out. Our fans are retarded.


Can tell you haven’t followed this team, talent is way higher than record indicates after the CJ/nance trade and the games BI missed.

We absolutely can beat this team. May not win the series but we should win some games.
