What are you doing mods? Not sure if this is the correct way to do it, but we need a PGT.

  1. Wasn’t a perfect game, but a wins a win!

    Hope Amen is ok

  2. Takeaways:

    * Dillon Brooks is a beast defensively and isn’t forcing shots. If the 3P% stays above 35%, his contract is going to be an absolute steal. r/NBA can continue meming but he’s been an amazing signing so far.
    * I saw more skip passes from FVV this game than I did from KPJ in 3 years. It feels so good to have a real point guard
    * Al-P is the truth and I’m even more convinced we need to go full Sen-hub on offense. Dude was cooking Mark Williams all night but didn’t really start posting up until the end of the 4th. Future All-NBA player
    * Our bench offense without Sengun is a major problem. We won this game because of hot 3 point shooting, but our bench offense probably loses us this game with an average shooting night. I think we should give Jabari the reigns on the bench to help get him going. He played great off-ball today, but I’d like to see the more aggressive Jabari we saw during Summer League. Hopefully running the second unit can get his confidence up
    * Jalen and Sengun need to continue their two man game. They have the potential to be absolutely lethal there and I almost want them to exclusively overlap in minutes at this point in order to continue building that chemistry.

    57% from three??

    I cant even remember the last time we made at least 45%

    Thanks for the making the thread.

    Sengun and Brooks absolutely dominated today. Jalen looked better with getting his shots to fall, hope he can continue staying aggressive. On the other hand, the bench outside of Tate is looking cooked. I’d like to see Cam get some run now that Amen is gone so we have someone who can bring some offense at least.

  5. Ok, hear me out: Give Boban backup C minutes. Landale just ain’t it.

    WE’RE ON THE BOARD!

    MAKE 3S, WIN GAMES. SHIT AIN’T THAT HARD.

    JALEN OPENED STRONG AND CLOSED STRONG. LET’S GET THAT MIDDLE. BUT IF HE CAN LEARN TO CLOSE LIKE HE DID TONIGHT THAT’S HOW WE GET TO WINNING.

    FREE CAM. LET MY MAN COOK.

    REST EASY, AMEN.

    I DON’T KNOW MUCH ABOUT THESE SO CALLED ADVANCED STATS. IS 17PTS ON 10FGA AND 23 ON 16 ATTEMPTS GOOD? ASKING FOR MY FRIENDS JABARI AND JALEN.

    TATE +17 IN 18 MINUTES 😤

    ALPI HAVING AN EARLY THANKSGIVING WITH ALL THAT BBQ TURKEY WITH EXTRA SAUCE

    DILLON AND FRED DOING EXACTLY WHAT WE PAID THEM TO DO.

    RIP REGGIE BULLOCK’S MINUTES. WE HARDLY KNEW YE.

    73-9. GAMECUBE. NINTENDO.

  7. Honestly I feel like Jalen put up a pretty quiet 23. Fuck yah
