It's the result of Missi having a strong night.


Then explain why Karlo played more minutes than DQ.

We continue, as we have for the last several years, to be absolutely inept offensively in late game situations.

Part of the problem right now is our best ball handlers are rookies who haven't figured out how to close NBA games yet. That's going to be a problem without a strong veteran ball handler and Initiator. We can see it from time to time with Jose but he's inconsistent.

That's going to be an issue until Fears and Queen figures it out. We already know Trey and Zion aren't strong enough ball handlers and initiators in the final 5 minutes.

You really can’t get worse shots than we got these last two minutes. Saddiq bailed us out with a prayer three and got lucky with a long rebound on a Hail Mary from Trey. We have no idea what we want to do.

This is not new. It’s been the same thing for the last couple of years. People standing around watching, no movement whatsoever, watching someone pound the basketball (used to be BI, tonight it was Trey). No set actions, no off ball movement.

The team has lacked a credible PG for years so yea... That was always an issue in this era especially when Kira busted.

I heard Gayle and Loomis just gave Dumars an extension.

That’s a symptom for sure, but it’s way worse than that. We literally stand around and don’t move. There is no plan other than get it to someone and everybody just stand around and watch. I used to think it was on Willie, but it hasn’t changed.

Impressed with how well Missi has been playing lately. Good to see him be aggressive when the opportunity arises. His perimeter defense when he switches has been great too.

He's not better at offense.


There's zero excuse for DQ to play 16 minutes right now. He might have struggled in the first half, but so did everyone on the team besides Missi. When he did play that little bit in the 3rd and 4th, he played really well, and as Joel said on the broadcast when Karlo came to check in, I'd really like to see more of Queen and Missi playing together in that game



I think what is becoming more apparent is that DQ and Zion cannot coexist together.
Zion is a horrible defender. Horrible. The only lineups that are a positive with him are those with Herb in them, and that's so he can make up for his horrible defense.
There's one decent lineup where Z and DQ work well, and that's when Trey and Herb are playing with them. There's only one meaningful person on the team right now that has a positive netrtg with Zion, and that's Herb, and it's 0.1.

Meanwhile DQ and Herb are at 4.0


I"m tired of trying to build a team around Zion. We don't have a competent GM to do it, and even if we could, he'd dribble the ball off his foot or throw it over the goal in the clutch anyway, and that's if he's actually playing and not hurt.
Last night he had a turnover and 2 points in the first 3 minutes of the 4th, and a turnover and fouled a 30% 3 point shooter in the last 3 minutes of the 4th. That's what he contributed in the 4th last night. 1 shot, 2 points, 2 turnovers and fouled a 3 point shooter.


Just move on from him already.
