What's new

Added to Calendar: 02-26-21

I was pretty ****ing pissed at that charging call on Conley near the end there. Looked like a bad call to me.

Was the right call but is such a **** play from the defender. Would love to see the NBA remove that particular charge call, its dangerous and makes the game ugly. Im not normally against rule changes that makes it harder to defend but I genuinely hate when players come across late when someone is attacking the basket.
 
I love when players take charges and I don't know how Conley didn't. Wish the Jazz took more, at least/especially when Gobert has to guard the perimeter (which he will more in the playoffs since teams with playmaking 5s are usually in the playoffs and our defense goes insolvent when such players get hot.
 
I’m a little concerned about our wing defense. If Butler is ripping us a new one what do we think Kawhi/Jingles’ son or Durant/Harden are going to do to us? We need Oni or Hughes to get going or add a piece.

I definitely wish we had taken a different player in the draft. I see wing defense and depth at the 3/4 being our greatest weakness right now.

You mean you dare question the mighty ROYCE O'neal?
 
Heat are finally turning it on and looking like the team from last year.

They controlled the game from the tip.
 
I like Royce. But he’s only one guy. We need more. Imagine if Royce went down to injury? We’d literally have zero dependable wing defenders.

I like Royce too. He plays hard, and is a great team player. He's not an elite defender who will get exposed in the playoffs.

He's also too small.
 
Bogie sucks right now.

If he can't turn it on for the playoffs we have to consider moving him.
I agree with this. I think we’d be better off with a less dynamic scorer but a more consistent overall 3/4. Someone who can still make contributions even when his shot isn’t falling. Prime Bruss would be nice. But I’d settle for trevor Ariza right now if he still has something left in the tank. Why didn’t we draft Bane or McDaniels?

It sucks because I want him to succeed. I like him a lot, but he's too important to play this poorly. We need production out of that position to win a title period.

He has to play well when it counts.
