GARLAND!!

 

[Cavatt]

Doumbouya with a major bailout there lol. He wasn't going to do anything

 

[Stark]

Zizic came along too late.

He has a ton of low post skill, particularly compared to the league today. Go back 25 years and he'd be a solid starter. Hell, not even that long ago. I think he's every bit as skilled as Pekovic was for Minnesota. Just league has changed too much.

I sincerely believe that if given the chance, Zizic could've been a 20/10 guy as recently as the mid-late 2000's. He has a very nice post game and is just a bit too slow to be a starter in today's league.

I still thoroughly believe that he could be a great instant-offense bench big in today's NBA though. Hell, he already is IMO.

Saw this like a month ago from Love against San Antonio where he's totally engaged and playing like the teams best player.

See if it sticks this time until they can trade him.

Sexton not passing to wide open Garland there... bum

I’ve got to assume the coaching staff and teammates have talked to Sexton about his tunnel vision, but it honestly isn’t getting any better. It’s got to be so frustrating to play with him.

 

[Stark]

I don't understand how an NBA player can have such low passing-IQ/vision.

He's twice as bad as Clarkson.

And Garland kinda did the patented Kevin Love move and stood there with his hands out after the buzzer for couple seconds.

There is no way he didnt know Garland was there wide open, he is just a ball hog.

 

[cabs]

17 assists that half for the team anyways

 

[roozy]

Wonder how many shots Sexton will take this game.

According to Channing Frye, almost this word for word.

You don't want to see teammates with that type of body language towards each other but it is getting to the point were positive reinforcement of his bad habits is going to harm him. It is about learning to be a winning player, not a stat padder, bench him for a few games until he shows willingness to change.

According to Channing Frye, almost this word for word.

Frye also claimed that he thought they should have been able to compete with the roster at the start of last season with Lue. He even said he was being bias and taking Love's side.

Sexton has his flaws but even if he had the vision of Garland and made all the right passes, this team is too flawed to win. The front office isn't giving up a top 10 pick either.

Garland should’ve took the shot instead of that horrible Oop pass.

two turnovers in 54 seconds
