Shoutout to mook!

I thought Ty Lawson at least had a chance to be really good. I thought Rubio was way overhyped (I was right!) and I figured we could get our PG of the future later in the draft. And we did draft him! Before trading him, of course. His college stats his senior year were really good. He got a lot of a...

Rudy sometimes drives me crazy, but I'm 100% in his corner on his value. The stats back that up, and those stats reflect his effort and focus. If Ant, Julius, and Naz gave even 50% of Rudy's effort and attention to defense and dirty work, we'd have won 5 more games by now. If they gave 70% of his ef...

Well, I'm not sure how much he's got left in the tank, but at least we know he can pass, defend bigs, and take a punch. Seriously though, this is at least some injury insurance. If one of our bigs went down, especially Rudy, that could really be it for us unfortunately. Beringer is exciting but too...

You probably know what I'm talking about. It's these half-assed one-handed underhand scoop passes I've seen our guys tossing to each other the last month or two. Ant, Donte, Jaden, Julius. I've seen them all do it. I don't know if they think they're getting some kind of advantage by tossing it like ...

Man, that short Beringer stint in that Mavs game was fun! He really can defend well. He's beefed up since last summer, but yeah, big guys like Embiid or Jokic will likely bully him until he gets an even stronger base. It feels a little greedy to wish he were just an inch or two taller, since that wo...

I think these definitions of success are all basically legit. Finish 3rd. Get to the WCF and at least be competitive there or go further. Obviously, the goal is the whole enchilada. Anything is possible! I also like some of the more process-oriented goals hinted at here. Let's see some more promisin...

Ballhandling, injury insurance. . . what do you guys think is the team's biggest need going forward?

This is one of my favorite perennial topics. First, I do think the league made positive steps with the play-in games and the flattened odds. I do like the ideas of: 1) flattening the odds just a touch more 2) allowing teams to get jumped by more teams in the lottery (you shouldn't be guaranteed a to...
