Don’t agree with that take

That’s ok and I don’t agree with yours but that’s the beauty of being in a forum.

Suggs had a great individual line but the offense overall was awful, and no one got better

Tristan needs to be in the rotation now properly!!

That’s not his fault though. Other guys had opportunities to score and they were just missing shots. Did he force it on some possessions sure but he definitely wasn’t the problem in this game.

Good fight in the second half and some decent things to build off of. Always sucks to get dominated for 48 minutes but without 2 starters against a good team on the road its bounds to happen. On to the next one

If he’s holding the ball for the first 10 seconds each possession and taking a substantial percentage of the shots, then he is part of the problem.  
 

We need a point guard.  Suggs is a 2.

But he was over dribbling. He got shots to roll in tonight, but the offense was stagnant. We barely got open looks tonight. Everybody was standing around watching him dribble. If this is the offense while Paolo is out, I suggest everybody to start watching college basketball next week, because we will be picking in the lottery.

You’re describing Cole Anthony’s game. Suggs as the 1 has to have the ball in his hands most of the time because he’s initiating the offense. Sure he was part of the problem on some possessions but he wasn’t the reason we lost this game. I do agree however that we need a real pg so we can move Suggs back to his natural position at the 2.

Yes he did over dribble at times because nobody was moving trying to get open but that’s more on the coach than anything. He needs to run plays and have guys moving off ball and cutting to the basket so we can create easier shots for our guys. I’m also baffled as to why nobody takes mid range jump shots besides Paolo. I feel like Franz would really benefit from that shot and it would open up the driving lanes even more for him.

Suggs had a good game tonight and was our best player. Don’t understand why we’re trying to put a guy on blast for going 28/8/7 with 3 steals and a block. He should’ve shot better from 3 but he’s one of the few reasons why this wasn’t a 30 point loss

This^^^. We need smart basketball players since we don’t have smart coaches and he may be the smartest one we have. Playing Cole and Harris over him proves my point. It’s a travesty in coaching. 
 

what a stat line from Harris tonight. 20 minutes: 1 rebound 0 assists 0 points. Wtf is the reason he is playing or even on this team?
