    feel free to tune out for a few seasons then. clearly you don't understand what "rough" is.

    this might be the worst team in the league. that usually comes with pain.

    Eventually, sure. But for now he’s going to get a ton of looks being the top option with the second unit.

    Not a PnR with Ayton or Williams let. They are both tremendous lob threats, but tough to get a lob when there is no chance of getting one.

    We talked about that on one of the podcasts. I thought he would be in front of Murray for sure and possible Walker as he just did more things all over the floor.

    Was that a miscommunication with Ant, like who dropped the ball there? Sharpe was on him but a screen did come so was that on Ant?

    I still think we’ll be better than a lot of people think.

    People are freaking out in quarter 1 of game 1 of 82? Shocking. Considering we are super young and half these guys are new to each other I think it could be a lot worse.

    the truth is no league in the world has rim protection like the NBA... n that block Zubac got on Scoota spooked him a bit..

    Gotta give him a lil time to adjust.. there's no Rudy Gobert's or Wembanyama's in the G-League to practice against..

    Right now I'm thinking "let's hope that this is Chauncey's last month".

    I can, to a degree, understand no huge offensive scheme with Dame as things were kinda set how they worked. But you have a ton of new guys and you still have no offensive plan?

    No movement, minimal passing.

    I also expected better defense but you are proving to be absolutely an Excellent tanking coach.

    Simons/Sharpe should’ve been our backcourt last year (Dame traded) and def this year.
