Bridges absolutely blows. McDonough sure loves to trade the farm to pick up guys like Chriss and Bridges.
Maybe give him more than 15 minutes to make that decision.
I called Chriss being trash after his first season and a bunch of idiots said how he's so young and he needs more than just one season.

So nah I'll trust myself.
That was nice of you to give Chriss 82 more games than you gave Bridges!

Congrats, you called trash on a guy who had very few fans and had never showed any real basketball skill. 3/4 of this board made that same call.

But you do you, and feel free to hide in the shadows when Bridges turns into a solid player.

Ayton's last field goal attempt was at 9:17 remaining in the quarter.

You should probably go and get yourself a job as an NBA scout then, you'll probably make a lot of money.
Already make too much as it is.

Nope, don't have a problem admitting when I'm wrong.

These idiots have failed to get Ayton the ball and have tried to force everything as of late. Fools, you have the best player on the court. Get HIM THE BALL.
What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

Harrison is not a starting point guard. He’s hardly a point guard. Please trade for Beverley. Give up a future first rounder. It’ll pay dividends to have a proven player handle the ball. Okobo will be a starter in a year or two. But he needs to learn from someone first. It’s painful to watch Melton and Harrison initiate the offense. Jackson is a better point than anyone else on the team.

Harrison isn't really a PG. He's got value, but he's gonna look bad as a starting NBA PG. I think we might need to go get one. I like Okobo and Melton as prospects, but they're not ready. Beverley would be nice...maybe the clippers would be interested in Bender?
beverley played off the ball most of the time in houston, and was outplayed by SGA in the last game.

I'm glad we're gonna win, but this was an eye opener. Go get a PG McD!

Well I love SGA, that doesn't surprise me. And we don't need Beverley to be ball dominant. He can shoot and he's a capable playmaker. Plus he defends like crazy. That's all we need.

He was hogging all the made buckets. It's no wonder they froze him out at the end of the game.

Reddish has gotten the "he doesn't play with enough passion" label but I love his skill set. Haven't really didn't much time looking into anybody yet though. Still hoping we end up late lotto. A guy like DeAndre Hunter could be real nice there.
