We look like we were in Atlanta, which is a thousand miles away, less than 24 hours ago.

We are also really good at cutting and passing quickly when we need to. The zone works less effectively when you run non-traditional offense, such as when we have Domas at the top of the key doing dribble handoffs. Most teams don’t possess the ability to be able to run an offense like that...

He’s a pleasure to watch. What a weapon to throw at teams.

Corner threes for Jazz open literally every time. Fox looks like his hands are made of stone tonight. Fumbling everything.

What’s with the recent pushing and pulling that Len has been called for multiple times already? He keeps doing that and I don’t remember him getting called for that so often before. Just last night he blatantly pushed a player out of the way for DeRozan. I get this stuff happens but you can’t be...

I still think in order to fully unleash Keegan and bring size to the starting lineup, we need a bigger body at the 4. We just aren’t big or long enough as a team and it’s a huge problem when we are matched up against teams that are. It forces Domas to be put in unfavorable situations and when he...

Your students would not be heartbroken should it, shall I say, “mysteriously” get cancelled.

I don’t hate it. This decision was probably further cemented by our shooting woes during the preseason. Given that 3/5 starters operate in mid range or down low, I can understand having 2 threats from deep out on the floor with them.

Well said. He’s our offensive engine and our rebounding guru. He’s good at stopping penetration like you said, but we can’t also expect him to be our weak side blocker. He needs help. We have failed to provide any help for him thus far. All we do is talk about pace.

He may not have played, but us losing 5 games to them last year before that game played a big part in our disappointing season. We couldn’t solve that riddle and it cost us. They are a big physical team and we simply aren’t. When nearly 14% of your losses are to one team, then yeah I’m going to...

I get what you are saying, but our inability to defend him is what lost us the season last year. 0-6 and two of those were towards the end of the season/play in. Four out of the six losses were by double digits, two of which were by 30+. I get your message, but it's a legitimate worry. If we...

Fair point, I don't disagree with any of what you said. I wasn't so much looking at the positions specifically, more of increasing our size/length overall, especially so in the starting lineup. It's not ideal, I agree, and there could be 15 different answers that all make sense to varying...

Keegan is going to have to learn to launch the threes quick and often this year. With 3 of the starters largely playing in the post and mid-range, he can't hesitate to launch threes like he did at times last year. If you have a window to shoot, shoot! He will need to shoot well in order for the...

You are thinking about this correctly. Keegan isn't a PF, his game is far more SF-like. I understand that basketball is now position-less, but he would fare better in a more traditional 3 spot, where he has good to great size and can defend well. We need an actual PF, like the one you described...

I’d say they hyped up the father-son duo part more so than Bronny himself. But I get it, just doesn’t bother me at this point. Nothing more than a sales gimmick.

I don’t think most people have hyped him up at all. It’s been the other way around. Anyone who remotely knows basketball understands he’s only there because of who his dad is. Most people have called for him to go to the G league and rightfully so, he’s not even close to ready. If you ask me...

Man, Kawhi is almost done done isn’t he? His body is clearly failing him. He still has swelling after months of no games? It has to be an acute condition and it doesn’t seem like it’s something that will ever go away, at least not while he’s in the NBA. Unfortunate.

It’s like that one year when we traded Iman Shumpert. Statistically, not a great player or star, but was the absolute glue for our team back then. Fox was young and looked to him for leadership a lot as did the rest of the team. We weren’t the same after he was gone. Monk is that for us now...

Hopefully with the addition of DeRozan, we can distribute the scoring load more evenly across the team. I’m mostly looking at Domas. Due to our own team needs, we sometimes treated him as the number two option on offense, but that’s not his game. Now DeRozan can take that role and hopefully...

I agree with you to an extent, but let’s not forget that Huerter wasn’t exactly lighting it up with his play either. Now, Keon didn’t exactly take it from him as he was injured, but Huerter was close to unplayable at times before he went down. He had some crazy cold streaks and it really dragged...
