Dont think McBride is good enough as a backup.

I'd probably go Hart-Grimes-Fournier-Precious as the 4 off the bench.

lol

Despite the negativity, I'm here to bring optimism. Watching players like Duece/Grimes (w/2nd unit) potentially get more playing time and showcase their talents is exciting. While IQ grew on me, his limited vision as a backup PG was evident. Although OG might demand more money than RJ, with IQ's departure, adding 7-10 million to RJ's 26 million should secure OG. Hoping for one more move to strengthen the starting lineup.

High IQ plays all around from OG

 

[jayocampo]

OG is gonna help us get those stops that we couldn't get from the big scorers on opposing teams. Hart, Grimes, OG unit will give us that big defensive boost we needed.

 

[don ramon]

donte plays well in the second half for this team. he's been an asset

 

[dmvisrnb]

Man, it's been one half but the defense already

 

[ballinsam23]

Randle never gets the shot off in time

 

[nick.]

Real good minutes from OG. Great off ball movement then obviously the defense.



This play specifically is something we've been missing. Fumbled the catch initially but athletic enough to gain control & throw down a strong dunk in half a second.

 

[ballinsam23]

Identity should be built around defense.

Our hustle and defense is what got us this lead.

 

[Canadian Destroyer]

ARe Vucevic and Bogdanovich a possibility for us? Both bulls and pistons got nothing going for them.

OG fitting well. Brunson just chucking. We need a back up PG. Deuce ain’t it.

 

[gaiiige]

Instantly better without the bricklayer on the team

We just extended the kid, he better be it.

 

[njavier03]

We just extended the kid, he better be it.

Super cheap contract to be on the bench, but not someone that’s gonna play 18-20 mpg

 

[ballinsam23]

McBride will get a solid 5 games to make an impact before Thibs loses his patience.

 

[ballinsam23]

Put the lineup back in that got you the lead.

 

[njavier03]

Brunson games like these is when you need IQ/RJ. If either Brunson or Randle have an off night, we’re going to struggle.

 

[ballinsam23]

Where's Donte?

 

[Air Pope]

Took 1 whole game to see that OG is obviously the perfect fit

 

[Air Pope]

Brunson games like these is when you need IQ/RJ. If either Brunson or Randle have an off night, we’re going to struggle.

He still has 14 asts. Let them go man

 

[don ramon]

Where's Donte?

yep

 

[Air Pope]

Where's Donte?

Would make too much sense

 

[you go boy]

MVP MVP

we're so back
