Donovan Mitchell is somehow underrated

I think it's clear Willie doesn't like playing Missi and Zion together.


This is on the Players and coaching. I've never seen so many breakdowns on defense and bad combinations. This team make bad plays at the worst times. As a whole they have low basketball IQ. We need to trade and get smarter players.

It’s real early man. He always plays great early and dude kind of disappears in the middle. Keep in mind they’re really healthy.

We just have too many compromises with this team to pull out games. Either they're healthy or they just can't figure out how to win games.

This is on coaching. Willie overplayed JRE because dude had one good game this season. Every year Willie falls in love with a guy and over plays him- this year its JRE.

Yeah I don’t get going small with Green over Missi while they are stacking up the ORebs.

Or our starters and main bench player need to get healthy so we don't trot out end of bench players for 20 plus minutes.

We didn't beat them last year either... And they beat us pretty badly when they were injured.

Doesn't mean shite for this years team. Imagine Mitchell having to deal with herb and djm

Imagine trey and cj taking those 3s tonight instead of jre

Im guessing he wanted Zion to attack from the 5 position and I get that but yoi can still do that with Missi. He was having a great game. How the hell do you play JRE 26 minutes and Missi 19??? That seems just plain stupid.

You want to talk this year. That's fine. And that's literally what we're looking at in the next 8 while you fantasize about the teams health.

I'm just saying that was a very winnable game with a healthy pels squad.

Personally we could have won if Zion didn’t disappear in the second and willie used Missi more than JRE. Also refs were abysmal tonight.

I do. JRE got switched onto guards a lot. Can Missi switch a P&R like JRE? No. But Missi can actually protect the rim when the guards get that close. I think it's just an issue of Willie trusts his comfort zone, switching everything, more than he trusts a rookie rim protector. I'm not saying I agree, just that's what I think Willie is thinking.

Karlo must wear a MAGA hat around the locker room to get zero run at Center on this team. Not saying he’s the solution, but he deserves a shot. JRE and Theis have gotten numerous chances even though it’s pretty obvious that they are trash.
