I guess I need to talk crap about Dre every game

Garrison Matthews should've played football! I don't understand how he can't discipline himself on the defensive end!

Payton Pritchard's continuing to get away with extending his arm on drives to get space, while Clint Capela gets called for the minor extension on the layup. The NBA is full of it.  

Games like this really causes me to question Dre's toughness. Tatum literally took his heart out of his chest in the first quarter. Not a damn challenge in sight on the offensive or defensive end.

I just expect the opposing team to go on a 20,000 point run when Garrison Matthews enters the game. 

Garrison Matthews is AWFUL!!

You blame Bruno for not getting that rebound?. He boxed his man into the middle of the paint with both players tipping the ball.  If the big has the man sealed, the teammate at the FT line is supposed to drop down and completely eliminate the chance of a middle rebound.  The other guy at the FT line who is not boxing out the FT shooter, has front rim seal off responsibility to completely eliminate the offensive rebound opportunity. You're taught this in high school.

If a certain weak rebounding player would've helped Bruno on the box out, there is no opportunity for Portland to even get a hand on the ball.

Bruce Weber explains this perfectly.

 

 

[]  The reality is Bruno's positioning on the attempted seal (wall) on Camara was absolute trash. It allowed Camara to slip past his right hip and challenge the rebound. If Bruno sets up a better wall and positions himself squarer to the basket, he has a better angle to grab the rebound with both hands and seal Camara. Giving Dre a better chance at getting a clearer path to the rebound. Go back and watch the play again, it was lazy.

The Bruce Weber video was [of limited value since he is not] a college head coach known for producing NBA quality big men known for rebounding. Deron Williams was a good guard talent though.

I was a Bruno guy but the more I see him, the more I see why he doesn't touch the floor. He never has ready hands. And he takes possessions off. That whiff on the rebound was pure laziness.

Another defensive breakdown from Garrison Matthews. He's either slow on rotations, getting back cut or, he's taking the wrong angle when defending on ball. 

Quin has to help his team out when we're struggle on offense. This team definitely needs perimeter athleticism. Our three point shooting looks good when we're actually make shots, but we have to change it up when those shots aren't falling. We have too many players that can help in College Park jerseys.

The only failure I see is the inability to move Patty Mills and Wesley Matthews. Landry and team have been auditioning them the first half of the season to hopefully find a suitor. Unfortunately, they look slow and a shell of themselves from beyond the arc.

Clint makes too much money and is too big to play so small on defense. It seems like he's missing John Collins the most. 

Okongwu has lost his tough edge on the defensive end. The lazy gambling and bad positioning under the basket is killing us. He's much stronger than Jalen so I don't understand why the two defending Randle tonight was like night and day. I'm concerned we paid him too quickly.

DeAndre is in another orbit mentally. The scowl he gave Saadiq after the put back dunk really turned my stomach. He better get his head out of his behind asap. I can see him losing his starting position very soon if he doesn't. 

These guys are locking in on defense and allowing the offense to come to them in transition. Those guys have bought into Quinn's overall message. It's going to be a good season.

I need Clint to get it together though. He's looking 10 steps slower than everyone else.

Are you guys having trouble with the Ballys app?

KB21, this draft is no where near deep. Sounds like your source is regurgitating from an article he/she have read on the internet. But, I'm not going to argue with you. I mean, what's the point? I'll just continue keeping any insider news I get between myself and my guys. Lol! 

I believe we'll be looking at one of the worst drafts in NBA history. I've spent a good amount of time with NBA scouts and we've only discussee this draft only a handful of times since last year. And only two or three times since the start of this year. Now, you do the math (LOL). 

Most of my guys are refusing to watch the draft past the first five picks, while others have decided to skip the draft all together. We've had more discussions regarding Peach Jam than this draft! Lmao! No one is excited! The talent pool is bad and there's not a sure fire player in this draft. Yes, Wemby is good. But, he lacks size and there's question marks regarding his ability to play against physical forwards in this NBA.

What do you guys think? Will you tune in Thursday?

Okongwu comes into the game all over the place. I'm so annoyed.

Why's it so hard for Clint to step up on Bam?! He's so damn lazy!

What does OO take the worst angles when closing out? And his hips are terrible!

Why is Aaron Holiday the first player off the bench before AJ or Jalen?! This is why I dispise Nate so much!!

I've finally come to the conclusion that Onyeka Okongwu has a mental impediment.
