    Offense has become who ever touches ball after half court is shooting it.

    Why is ball not in your young pg’s hands, he needs to run the point and not play off the ball. Stupid he’s not you Billups he’s more like Jason Kidd, coaches didn’t play Kidd off the ball.

    Scoot, you need to be taking notes on what Brogdon’s doing

    He absolutely has demonstrated black hole tendencies. I showed you stats.

    You said he "always" is a willing passer. While you choose not to trust the stats I gave you entirely, you backtracked or redefined "always" or forgot what you said or thought I wouldn't remember what you said... presumably based on the overwhelming evidence that he was one of the biggest black holes on our team last year.

    In any case, you're wrong. You disagreed with me based on a feeling and your memories of ten games (where he definitely got more assists--he had 32 of his 94 assists in his last six games!). And now you're moving the goalposts because you don't want to admit you stuck your neck out and got it chopped off.

    Our D is awful and I see why Suns fans hated Ayton. Yes he gets rebounds but most of the time, he’s just standing around. Nurk is better.

    Billupsball is dribble dribble dribble, ball screen, everyone else stands like a statue around the three point line.

    There is no one to defend him. It makes it quite easy for him.

    So Dame isn’t NBA caliber at the moment? Got it.

    Hmmmmmm Brogdon out.... Simons out...... Scoot gets to play point guard and immediately scores. Is that a coincidence?
