All Eyes On Me

Cole giveth and Cole taketh away We need to be careful, this thing is on the verge of turning into a blowout by halftime. Need to close these last 5 minutes strong.

Lol of course we catch the Lakers on the night they remember how to make shots.

Cmon guys make a shot

Best case with Bol is he’s a spark plug 6th man that can play more minutes when the matchup calls for it. He’s got a lot of weaknesses in his game

Cole also doesn’t play with the starters because his ball dominant style hinders our 2 best players. We wouldn’t bring in Trae to play 6th man. He’d also cost a ton. IMO we have our stars to build around in Franz and Paolo, we need to be looking for high level role players that compliment them in trades.

I’m a hard no on Trae, not only because of the reasons you mentioned, but also I don’t see how his style of play doesn’t hinder Franz and Paolo significantly.

It’s about asset management more than anything right now. Core pieces should all stay, guys we aren’t keeping we should see what they turn into. Ross, RJ, Chuma, potentially Bamba are the names that come to mind here. I think it’s too early to make a big swing.

Great 4th quarter. Cole is looking awesome

Defense needs to be better, but man is this team fun to watch

I think Markelle is our point guard, if he can stay healthy. He does too many things that contribute to winning and he’s embraced the leadership role. I honestly think Fultz, Suggs and Cole are all point guards. I’d like a 3 and D guy like a younger healthier version of Gary Harris at the 2. Maybe Franz is the answer at SG, I dunno. It’s nice to be in an embarrassment of riches position for once

I think we just need to find out what we wanna do at the 2 guard spot going forward. IMO 4 of the 5 starters are set. I want Franz and Paolo at the 3/4 not the 2/3, and Bol isn’t a starter in this league, he’s bad at defense. Question is, do we think Suggs or Cole can be our 2 guard of the future, or do we need to go find one.

There’s pretty much zero legs to the Ross to LA or NY rumors IMO. Both teams are bad, he’s bad, if he gets dealt it’ll be to a contender taking a chance on him remembering how to be a useful basketball player. We’re only getting something similar to what we got for Fournier (couple of 2nd rounders) at best for him. Theres some rumors about VanVleet and Vegas has us as the highest odds to trade for him. I’m not sure I buy it, like it, or even have an idea of what the package would look like, but Fred would be the best shooter we’ve had in a long long time

7-5 since Markelle has returned from injury, all 12 of those games have been without Carter Jr and Suggs.

Bad half. Lucky to only be down 10

When Bol is bad, he’s really bad

14 and 6 in the first for the rook, keeping us in this one by himself. Hopefully the rest of the team gets the memo we have a game tonight

Guys look exhausted and ready to be home for Christmas. Hopefully they can turn it around but this is as ugly as a start as you can have. So many airballs

If we decide we wanna play defense in this one we got a chance

He’s our leader, there’s no doubt about it. Oldest young guy on the team mentally. And he’s freakin taking this one over!

Fultz!

To Admiral Schofield? I’d rather Cole go 1 on 5

Cole is literally the only reason we’re still winning right now lol Now we can be mad at coach for leaving this awful lineup in for too long, but let’s lay off the only guy scoring

Just like last half, need to survive the Bamba/Admiral minutes. Just low basketball IQ from both of those guys on egregious fouls

Alright, horrible quarter. Lucky to still be up 7. Need to clean it up and stop turning the ball over. Markelle should play the last 10 minutes

Refs have done a hell of a job giving Boston every single call after the Tatum tech.
