[ice cream man]

Offense has looked pretty good two nights in a row against two playoff teams while missing a "true point guard."

No one ready to talk about that one yet though.

Helps when Cedi and Dean Wade goes from missing shots to making shots. That’s just a wildcard imo. And a career night from Okoro last night. There’s a reason the only way our bigs can get a look right now is by getting offensive rebounds.

That’s probably why a lot of Collin Sexton teammates don’t like playing with him. Why wouldn’t you pass to the wide open Cedi?

You know Kevin Love is our starting power forward, right?


Lol I have to go on about this one.

Wade is another one of our bigs. All his shots are 3s tonight. All of them assisted. 7 of Love's 11 shots are 3s. And I'd bet, all assisted.


So this is just a lie. Flat out.

Allen is getting pushed all over the place.

 

[Rich]

Another make there by Wade off an assist.

But hey "only offensive rebounds" lol.

 

[Rich]

Allen is getting pushed all over the place.

He's getting owned tonight. Bad.

I think he's probably tired from last night. He's a 7 footer who, up until this point in his career, hasn't been used to getting this many minutes this often.

 

[Real Deal]

This is that Okoro shit I don't like

 

[ansatsusha80]

Good steal by Wade

 

[Rich]

I'll tell you the area where you can clearly look at the boxscore and notice Nance missing is opponent TOs. They're way, way, waaaay down w/o Nance.

We're lucky if we get an opponent to turn the ball over 10 times in a game these days.

 

[Rich]

This is honestly a great showing after last night.

Offense is definitely showing improvement. Sexton has made it a point that when he gets into the paint he's trying to find the right pass.

It's a little rough at times, but you can tell he's thinking about it.

You get me a nice, lengthy 4 who shows some shooting promise and I like what I'm seeing.

Love -39. Why even bother playing him.....unless that is the reason

 

[Rich]

Love is -39 in 23 minutes.

Just brutal.

 

[WorldFreeB]

Love -39. Why even bother playing him.....unless that is the reason

-39

 

[KilgoreTrout]

That escalated quickly.

 

[Rich]

Woo boy. Hartenstein killing us too.
