I feel like this years’ team is more competitive than the previous 3 years, but we are probably looking at best like a 30 win team.
Gonna be a lot of close games where we don’t win a good majority of them due to mistakes.

I was watching the Bucks feed and the commentators said at one point with like 4 or 5 minutes gone in the 4th quarter, we had taken only 1 shot but had 5 turnovers. Thats 10+ potential points we giving up on those turnovers.
Still love the fight of this team. Even down 9 we are out there playing hard. We desperately need shooters and someone gotta tell Clarkson we are gonna sit his *** if he keeps playing iso ball. Glad Vander Blue getting burn. We should call up Wear from the G-league and give him some burn. I bet he plays better than Brewer. He shot it really well in summer league.

Literally JCs first bad game and y’all pounce 
I’m more upset that we let a tired team out-energy us and lock us down and force turnovers
Plus the missed FTs

Honestly his defense has been SOOO much better then I expected. I keep hearing about how "he can't cure a headache with a bottle of aspirin" or something stupid like that said by none other then Screaming A Smith. Guys were suppose to scorch him for 40 every night.
He is long and gives shorter offensive players trouble even when they beat him off the dribble. Plus he plays super hard on that end because I'm sure he's been hearing it all summer. He is also crafty with deflections. Hope he continues to work on that as he gets stronger.

I don't care for stats. Sure he plays well statiscically but he is a ball stopper and dribbles the damn air out of the ball. This year is not about getting cheap victories like we did last year with Lou and Nick making random shots in the fourth...we need to develop a culture of ball movement, execution and hard work. He shows none of those qualities IMO.Literally JCs first bad game and y’all pounce

Well I mean JC did have a bad game lol
Would not be a fan of him getting traded though, team needs scorers like JC in the long run

Lol exactly. His turnovers weren’t even from ball hogging. Dude is just aggressively trying to make the pass when he needs to just shoot.

Pleasantly surprised... and confused... by Ball's trip-dub.
Swear I watch him and it seems like he doesn't give 2 craps. But, some of you know how giddy I used to be over Kidd, and you never saw emotion from him, either. Not everyone is that Terrell Owens/Vince Carter type, getting super excited and what not.
I have reservations and concerns with Zo, but overall, I like what I'm seeing for where he should be at.

I'm honestly shocked LeBron didn't get a triple double when he was like 18-19.

if you trade those 3 for just draft picks we might not win another game this year

Black ice Boozer was taking all his rebs and that team had no shooters for him to get high assist.
