Markkanen seems like a bad shooter to me. Flat shot, kicks his head back. His career says he should be much better than this, so hopefully it picks up.

Ya as awesome as he is, I have concerns with his outside shot. Really flat

They just gave Garrison Matthews a star call lmao

That one was really bad.

I mean, the whistle went both ways. I'm not sure who got the overall most benefit, but they were calling a ton on both sides. I didnt really notice any disparity.

They had 30 fouls and we had 26 fwiw

Dude gives me prime Blake Griffin vibes with his vertical for his size.

Nice call but I have to think its a bit hyperbolic. Blake was insane. Lauri is just crazy but not quite insane.

One thing I really wish is that our offense was more purposeful in getting touches for Markkanen.

With how efficient he's been, the guy should honestly be getting like twice as many touches as he's currently getting.

I'm not going to pretend this game was well officiated, but in the bigger picture Vanderbilt really needs to get his fouling under control.

I think if he gets his fouling under control then maybe that means he isn't playing quite as hard and that lessons his value. He gets some cheap fouls crashing the boards but I dont want him to stop crashing the boards for example. Thats what make him great.

At some point we'll stop winning L-able games, won't we?

Kinda hope not. I want the playoffs

No clue what to make of this team, how I’m supposed to feel, or what I’m supposed to want.

Been a fun NBA season so far though.

I think we all agree with that but Cy made a good point about Markannen seems to get winded and maybe more touches would wear him out.

Ya if we go on a nice losing streak then I will definitely jump right back on the tankwagon. But hell, as long as we are winning (and beating tough teams in close games on the road to boot) might as well win em all.

Could be. The one game he looked bad in was the b2b.

So its basically out of brooklyn and philly then right?

Yes, the worse pick of those two essentially.
