Ball spent a good chunk of the game putting up weak ass floaters and missing and dipping his hand in the cookie jar on stupid fouls.

Bridges didn't exist until he got ejected, fug his max deal

Terry saying how he wishes guys knew what the playoffs were like but couldn't hit a layup to save his life to start

PJ at least was trying

Terrible defense and passing all around.

fug these guys, they're all soft losers when the big lights comes on. Borrego didn't do us any favors but it's the fuging play-in. In terms of motivation these guys should have it after last year. If you can't play hard for this game you just don't have it in you. No coach is gonna make you care more. Fine if Borrego goes, but maybe some of these leaders should head on out too and trade for someone who gives a poo and doesn't play soft.

Lost all love for Oubre this game. You can’t be cold AND not play defense bro pick one

He started this season like an all star but faded incredibly throughout the season,  I can’t explain it but something changed with him.

That's it, blow this crap team up. Get some guys in here who actually care (keep Ball, Miles and Rozier). The rest of the buns can bite it with JB. 

What kind of shitty game plan was that?  Yet another second half collapse, go figure.

Looking into FA and the Draft. I think we Draft Mark Williams and or Ogbachi in the Draft. I also think we might release Plumlee. If they keep him and give him that 8 mill that's a huge waste to me. He's just not good, and slow as hell. Give PT to Mark Williams (if he's Drafted) and Kai Jones at Center. Both play defense unlike Plumlee. I don't know how we trade Hayward, that seems like a miracle at this point even with just two years left. I would even think about trading Rozier. Tired of his hot then cold, hot then cold ass.

I still can't believe they did it again last night even after talking about how they know how bad last years play-in was. I'm expecting James Borrego to return though. This franchise is what it is and I hate to finally admit it but I think it begins with Jordan. How do you have the GOAT as your owner and put such a lackluster group effort on the court with the talent we have?

T-U-R-R-I-B-L-E.

      An analysis of Brooks from The Fantasy Footballers provides possible insight as to why he's worth the price paid

      By TD alt · Posted

      Sometimes you get very valuable information from fantasy football sites. I found an analysis that you may want to read from The Fantasy Footballers. Perhaps you'll gain an insight as to why we moved up and got him. As always, here are a few snippets: "As expected, he dominated in the 2023 season. He averaged an impressive 2.03 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play, which ranks in the 86th percentile among all junior seasons since 2013." "Naturally, after initially playing behind two NFL-caliber running backs, Brooks’ career numbers do not jump off the page. However, his 2023 campaign gave us a glimpse of just how massive his upside could be at the next level. In fact, Brooks is one of only TWO running backs in this class to exceed 2.00 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play within their first three seasons in college."  "If you watch Jonathon Brooks’ film, you will find multiple plays in which he created yardage with his quick feet and lateral agility. He is elusive in open spaces and has an impressive ability to stack multiple cuts to avoid contact. Combined with his impressive burst and acceleration, Brooks can be a matchup nightmare in the second and third levels of the defense." "While Brooks is not the most physical running back, he does have a knack for absorbing contact and bouncing off defenders. You see this time and time again in his film." "He showcased a willingness to initiate contact with the pass rusher, the strength to maintain blocks, and the quickness to adjust to the defender’s moves. In addition, per PFF, Brooks was a top-three running back in the 2024 class in pass-blocking grade last season. He was also one of only two running backs in the class to average a 0% pass block pressure rate, highlighting just how effective he was as a blocker." "In short, Brooks has tremendous upside as a prospect. Even with his ACL injury, I would still be comfortable drafting him in the early second round of rookie drafts. In fact, I would not be shocked if he finished his career as the most productive running back in this class. However, we just need to temper our expectations for his rookie year as he slowly ramps up to full health." Marvin Elequin provides more here (including video clips): https://www.thefantasyfootballers.com/dynasty/2024-rookie-profile-rb-jonathon-brooks-fantasy-football/   Basically, Brooks has the potential to be a beast, and was well worth the 46th pick (and most mocks had him going mid second round anyway). He's not JAG. Someone had to make the move and take him, and we were the ones to do it. He's elusive, has good speed and acceleration, exceptional contact balance, and is an outstanding blocker. Just like any nice RB transitioning to the league, he will need to get used to taking what the defense gives him, while also showing discriminating patience, but he has demonstrated some ability on that front in college. Brooks' only real knock is the ACL. But ACLs aren't career ending anymore, or even skill ending as evidenced by Dalvin Cook, Todd Gurley and others. We'll just need to temper our expectations during his rookie campaign while he gets back to form. Once he does, we'll finally have the talented three-down back that has eluded us since Stew retired.

      2024 Who would you have picked

      By R0CKnR0LLA · Posted

      2.43 : Jackson Powers-Johnson, C, Oregon 2.52 : Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas 3.65 : Junior Colson, LB, Michigan 3.79 : Blake Corum, RB, Michigan 4.101 : Ja'Tavion Sanders, TE, Texas 😎 5.141 : Sedrick Van Pran-Granger, C, Georgia 5.142 : Austin Booker, Edge, Kansas 5.155 : Christian Jones, OT, Texas Note, I traded down from 33 (took the Arizona/Atlanta trade up to 35 - might have actually been able to net an even better deal but whatever, I'll go with this). Took the Rams trade but stayed put at 52 and at the top of the 3rd.
