Franz is playing really smart and solid. Paolo is waking up lately. If both can keep it up we have a real shot.

Franz is our best player

Absolutely! He is gonna have to go for at least 40 tonight for us to have a chance. Paolo has disappeared once again.

[Phil4Real]

I don't really see the need to say either Franz or Paolo is the best player... That only brings unnecessary and harmful competition again out two best players in the long run. It's like auto-sabotage 

I mean they're both great. Please don't create ****ty feelings around both of them 

[Soul Bro]

What has happened to Paulo's offense? The midrange shots/bricks are killing us. He's got to get back to attacking the rim and drawing fouls.

Just to add more objectivity here, in the last 10 games, Paulo's splits are 38/20/54. Those are almost unplayable percentages.

Are you seeing the lack of defense and the continued poor 3-point shooting? No way we win in a shootout with these guys. Barnes made more triples in the first quarter than we usually make in an entire game. Add to this the Wemby factor which clearly has Paolo intimidated and rendered him all but useless tonight. 

Your not making any sense regarding Paolo being intimidated by the Big Baguette.. 

We are down 3 and they are shooting the Spurs hell out the ball. 

According to you the game is over after the 1st 7 minutes.. 

No point in you watching it then is there?

He has completely stopped being aggressive and attacking the basket. Way too many midrange jumpers. It's certainly a mystery as to why he is playing this way now. If he continues this same play in the second half, we have no chance to win tonight. And quite frankly we have no chance at winning many more games moving forward with this version of Paolo. Our only shot is for both Paolo and Franz to average at least 25 ppg from now until the rest of the season. And even then it will be a struggle because we are getting very little if any help offensively on most nights.

1 thing I will say is our shooting guards aka KCP and Harris have 0 Points that is absolutely unacceptable

So you’re saying we should have traded him at the deadline?  Gotcha. jk, or am I?

A ruff patch he needs the all star break badly

[Phil4Real]

I think we are in a good position. Barnes won't make 10 threes. They come from a back to back. We just need to get good looks. TDS is sharp, I want to see him on the floor

Wemby has already packed Franz's lunch 3 times tonight. Paolo saw that and was like "I ain't going in there". That's why he is settling for the midrange jumpers. Although he has been settling for those ever since he returned from his injury.
