As i said after the first game of the season we should tone down expectations for this team
  • Kill all that talk about top 2 seed in the East
  • Stop lying to yourselves about ECFs
I can still see 46+ wins as i mentioned before if healthy but all that other nonsense some were hoping for is way out of reach.

If you're struggling to make baskets bringing in Wnslow isnt gonna help much in this scenario. Until Winslow develops a jumper to make defenders respect him he's gonna hold this team back in most scenarios. I think Winslow should only be on the floor when he's gonna be the primary ball handler, period.
They weren’t struggling to make baskets as much as they were struggling to get stops. JRich wasn’t doing anything offensively tonight anyway. If neither guy is going to score (which by the way Winslow was 5-5) I’ll take the guy that’s better defensively and will do more of the little things.

get a jumper :francis:
:mjlol:@Winslow wanting to make the allstar team this year
His handles is much improved and he looks like he's in great shape. He's also much much quicker and also stronger than he was his first two years. But until he can consistently get the ball through the net...no way

I know y'all were disappointed y'all didn't get Donovan Mitchell, but y'all might have one in Bam Bam
Bam is raw right now but he'll be okay. I noticed that when plays are called for him in the low-post he struggles to score against players his size or bigger (which was the knock against him in college) but he's excellent at cleaning up after out wing players.

I like the pick but it's not like i knew who else was available/better

That’s how I feel too. I really wanted Mitchell to fall to us but I like what I’m seeing from Bam. Mitchell seems to be balling in Utah though

It's hard to judge a team without its best player. Let's let the team get healthy first

Did you watch the game? That 5-5 was mostly bunnies under the basket, breh.

So he was playing within the game. Getting easy buckets, making smart plays, hustling and playing defense and not letting WIggins embarrass him?
