All I can really criticize is only taking 17 3s. Need to put up way more with the shooters we have.

Call me crazy..

But maybe we should start

Book/Allen/Little/KD/Nurk

And bring Beal off the bench in a ginobli role

He hasn't come off the bench since 2015... Dunno if he'd be happy about that.

What happened to books pull up 3.. was deadly before the calf injury. He won’t be averaging close to 30 without it

The lack of memory from you ppl. Goran trashed the entire organization. But his isn't Deandre Ayton, so you folks will forget it and pretend like he didn't talk massive amounts of sh it.

Sorry to interrupt. Continue pretending Ayton is the worst human being on the planet lmao.

Goran said it himself after that he was talking about McDonough and he didn’t even have any issues with Sarver.

And once again, to be very clear, Goran was 110% correct in choosing to do. If anything, Goran didn’t say enough. He should’ve talked more ****.

Yeah that's not gonna get it done against most decent teams. On the other side, giving up 14 of 31 is not on either. Gotta do better

That's a bridge we can cross when we get there but I doubt we'll do it.

I said it when the trade happened, he’s like a poor man’s or maybe homeless man’s version of Mikal Bridges from Mikal’s first 3 years. He should absolutely be in the rotation.

Only concern with him is that much like most of this roster, he’s been very injury prone during his time with Portland. But when healthy and available yeah he should be playing.

Out of all our role player wings, Little seems to be the best fit on paper since he's got all the role player skillsets covered. He's not elite in any of them but he's adequate.

Out of the rest. Yuta is missing some strength on defense, KBD lacks energy and a nose for the ball, Grayson is too short and Okogie is missing altogether on offense.

Question is, if Little continues to play well and starts to really cement real minutes, who minutes is he taking? Is it Okogie? Is it Yuta? Is it Goodwin?

It's harmless and it's true, but it's definitely a little shot at DA.

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming Wow! What a Ride!-H.S.T.

No doubt about it. Shaq & Kobe 2.0 ... in the sense they didn't like each other.
