    WTF are these refs man. We can’t buy a call and if we barely breath on them it’s a call.

    Giles nice steal, then makes the same gamble one play later and fails miserably.

    Giles should be our point guard on the second unit.

    Might as well copy and paste this for at least a year because nothing is going to change. CJ is the backup, Ant is the backup to CJ.

    Will Giles become our backup C as season progresses?

    Roco has more to his game than just shooting standstill threes.

    Giles looks good, but it’s against his former team so he’s motivated. I think he should play more based on matchups.

    We have really good perimeter defenders now. So the excuse is gone. This is all about a shitty defensive scheme.
