I think I can drive past Kevin smh.  He’s a good traffic rebounder and he’s active on ball but his movement is cheeks.

There's a reason why I nicknamed him Sir Render

Nique is right about moving the basketball . . but that also means more potential passes to turn the ball over.

[Buzzard]

LP better draw up a pick and roll with Trae. Its not rocket science unless you make it that hard.

[AHF]

There you go Kev.

Bailing us out with some big 3s tho

[JayBirdHawk]

We're playing prevent offense, I do not like it. Slowing down and running clock, but we aren't moving the ball enough.

[MaceCase]

First to 100 wins (hopefully)

Clint Embiid.

[AHF]

Woah.  Go Capela.  Don't want to see that again but....no, no, no YES!

[MaceCase]

Lmao, did DLo roof the ball?  Classic me move whenever I was losing.

Hunter gets the T but no problem with that.

I'm growing tired of seeing Kevin Huerter panicking while dribbling the ball then throwing it away! 

Dude, get some freaking confidence!

They need to learn hot to close out a close game.  I rather they run their offense than chuck up ill advised shots.

Take them lumps now for future dividends. 

Find a balance with him running the offense and with him being aggressive.

Well foul trouble did keep his field goal attempts down.  I'd rather he hit one more shot and be around 44 to 45% and 37% from three.  But the assists I'm loving.

3-8 and 6 tos isn't good. Everything else was fine.

[AHF]

Amazing that we would leave Russell or Beasley open.
