All Eyes On Me

I agree on the specifics of Kevin Porter Jr, I think for me it’s more like he precedent that’s been set that bothers me. If we’re even going to actually compete again, we’re gonna have to take a risk on somebody with a questionable character at some point

Lol... all good my friend... in other news, Kevin Porter Jr to the Rockets for a protected 2nd round pick... I’m seriously disappointed we didn’t go get this kid

That’s all well and good, but the point youre still over reading from the stat is it being a walk off 3 POINT shot...

Quoting a tweet I saw last night. I’m assuming it meant like with zeros on the clock to end the game, and it was a 3 point shot. Other 2 were Hedo’s bank in against I believe Boston in 2008 and Jameer against Denver in 2011

Crazy that it only took him 15 games! Only the 3rd game winning 3 ball buzzer beater in team history. Cole is already cementing himself as clutch and I love it.

That second quarter was one of the worst quarters of basketball I’ve ever seen this team play, and I’ve been watching as long as we’ve been a team... that being said, way to be resilient and claw back and such a huge play for Cole Anthony and his confidence going forward! On to Indiana!

I see your point, but I think the counter argument here is that we kind of “half tanked”. The highest we picked during that time was 2 when we got Oladipo in what might’ve been the worst draft class in the past 20 years. When we got AG we weren’t quite bad enough to get Embiid by 1 pick, when we drafted Hezonja we were 1 pick away from Porzingis, when we drafted Bamba we were 1 pick away from Trae/Luka... it’s been a tremendous run of awful luck since Dwight demanded out and we spent too many years not fully committed to competing OR tanking... I’m just tired of it *sigh*

Hmm... wonder what the deal would be

Also... we’ve pretty much determined a healthy MCW will be our starting PG when he gets back, right?

Woohoo! So who drops from the rotation? Bamba, MCW and Aminu all still out. Anthony/Fournier/Bacon/Gordon/Vucevic Ross/Ennis/Clark/Birch 9 man is kind of my hope with Evan and Aaron rotating second unit ball handling. Also would be just as ok with Bone in and Clark out

I think every single one of those were home run swings based on where we were picking or what we gave up for them. Isaac, Okeke and Anthony all project significant higher than their draft position IF they keep their health. Hell, if Cole could’ve come straight from HS to the big leagues he was getting some hype to go # 1. This strategy though is our punishment for never fully tanking and still trying to compete.

He’s a glue guy that you stick on a talented team that does the dirty work and the little things, plays solid team defense and hits the occasional 3. How he’ll fit with us after missing over a year and 2 knee surgeries? Who knows, but I’m not optimistic

Yeah, I guess Chuma was a bad example. Just from a position stand point would make sense for the FO to be waiting on. Regardless of Chuma’s health, Clark doesn’t belong on our roster

Yeah, it’s just a long long run of extraordinary bad luck
