2024/2025 General Game Thread

Paolos defense is very concerning though. It reminds me of his college days and the main reason i was hesitant to draft him. He misses shots, turns the ball over (or others) and he’s standing around. Takes him forever to get back. 

Helps when he’s dominant on offense but the D, ewww

What a difference from the 40p loss we recently had, and what a difference makes starting the game without being always down 10 points or so with the starting lineup. Again, too bad it was a injury to force that change and not a coaching staff idea.

Cavs were 48-0 this season when leading after 3 quarters until today. Huge W. Let’s keep the momentum!

When AB hits the open jumpers his value and fit on this team as an off ball guard is so clear. He's shooting 42% from 3 in his last 10 (not including Cavs game) too. 

Lots of big contributions from the non Paolo/Franz guys in this. 

Big win.

Great win, best one of the season. And a 3-2 road trip against 5 good teams can hopefully put that nightmare home stand behind us. Cleveland missed a ton of open shots and we couldn’t get a rebound to save our lives, so they still terrify me in a series, but I’ll take today with a smile on my face

No question this was our best win of the season.  Probably only Jay saw it coming after the 40 point drubbing we got from them on our home court last time we played, and with them on a 16 game winning streak no less.  Really great team effort overall.

LEAKED Audio Of Paolo Banchero Trash Talking Ty Jerome:

Paolo: “You only look good because you’re on a good team, weak a** n****”

Jerome: “You can’t guard, I know that… You def can’t guard me”

Paolo: “You ain’t sh*t, trash a** n****”

Jerome: “I’ll start on y’all team”

Damn, he kind of killed Paolo with his last response. Because it's true. Which is why Weltman needs to be fired.

only reason i loved to win that.. otherwise i’m probably the lonely person on here that believes tanking the rest of the regular season would benefit us tremendously.. just watch the Heats/Bulls draft position compared to ours

Ty Jerome front running talk. He's done well this season. He definitely didn't kill P5.. we shut him up with the win. He needs to pipe down abit

Yesterday, @OrlandoMagic F @Pp_doesit had 24 PTS, 11 REBS and 7 ASTS. It’s his 10th game with 20/5/5 this season and 50th of his career.

Among forwards all-time in @NBA before their 23rd b-day, he trails only LeBron (177) and Giannis (59) and 10th among all players 22-or-less.

It's hard for me to see posts like this, when you consider that our fascination with tanking led to about 15 years of futility.  And now you want to contaminate our current roster, with lots of young players and two young stars, with the idea that winning isn't important and you can just turn it on and off. 

It's really hard to think of any worse idea than this.
