WOOF..

[KillerLeft]

I don’t love that kidd is closing with Flagg at PG, but some things are working.

[KillerLeft]

Gafford on the offensive glass is keeping them in the game.

[KillerLeft]

That was possibly the best defense of a screen I’ve ever seen Gafford play, so it’s a shame that it resulted in a turnover.

[Chicagojk]

Put the ball in coop hands. Win or loss. Not ideal but both point guards were really bad tonight.


Caleb Martin may no longer be an nba player. How many years does he have left?

[KillerLeft]

With this late game offense, I hope Kidd has some better ATO’s at the ready this year than last. Need a good one here.

[Chicagojk]

Cooper has been much more aggressive and has gotten good looks. Missed some. But I will take that.

NO DOUBT THIS IS A BAD TEAM THOUGH..

[KillerLeft]

I like how calm Flagg was on that drive. He’ll hit these free throws, too.

[Chicagojk]

Pj is not a small forward in this league. I know positions blend but he is better guarding a bigger player and can’t be one of your three ball handlers imo.

[KillerLeft]

Dumb reach in foul from Flagg there. Marshall noticeably annoyed by it.

Agree. Tough to get more obvious than that.

[RoyTarpleysGhost]

Why does Gafford pressure guys at the 3pt line when he’s too slow to recover?

[Chicagojk]

Been impressed with Queen and fears. Queen is really skilled just a weird fit for most teams. Fears is young and needs a lot of time but he looked much better than out guards.

[KillerLeft]

Playing PG’s tonight (until the last 5 minutes of the game, anyway) might not have resulted in good games from THEM, but I strongly feel it has resulted in a good game for Cooper Flagg. This game seemed so, so much more comfortable for him.

[KillerLeft]

Flagg got a great look. Just didn’t hit it.

[RoyTarpleysGhost]

2-6 with losses against the lowly Wizards and Pelicans. Barely beat Indiana at the Buzzer.

As long as Kidd goes with him, I’m cool. Otherwise, it won’t makes difference.

[Chicagojk]

Wow…this team really this bad? I don’t think these losses are a fluke. Even their two wins were not impressive. Really disappointing start of the season. Injuries and poor play.

[cow]

Happy with that out of bounds possession at least. I love Gafford.

Disaster of a season. Smart gm gets ready to trade players away and tank soon
