Hopefully Wallace will one day dunk the basketball again. It wasn't that long ago that he had the explosiveness, there is something really wrong with his offense this season.

And I know we are hurting in the "bigs" department, but I don't think Nazr's style works with our up-tempo game. Would like to see him off the bench sparingly for help with foul trouble. Kwame looks better out there with the starters anyway, and TT and Hendo should be the first subs in.

Hats off to Livingston as well, giving great minutes off the bench. I like how aggressive he is going to the basket.

After watching that clip, he's lost a lot of explosiveness for sure. Not sure if it's age, or he don't feel the need to prove anything since making the all-star team last year, or maybe just tired of LB's system. We'll see Weds when he's back though.

he's been playing injured too long, he should keep sitting to get to full strength. team is clicking and honestly when both Jack and Wallace play, the team is just too out of control and Diaw plays worse with them. having someone like Henderson who will simply play defense and shoot open shots is what basketball is all about. you can't have a team where 4-5 guys want to spot up on a one on one play every time they touch the ball.

need motion, fluidity. be ready to shoot or pass. our turnovers have to be down with henderson starting. another thing is it forces DJ to step up and DJ is the most efficient player on our team, he can step his game up but doesn't go out of control to do it.

I had this thought too, but didn't voice it. Something tells me that we would be "okay" if we had Jack or Wallace, but both seem to be a concoction that doesn't work. If I had to choose between the two, give me the healthy Wallace over the scorer Jack. We would lose out on Jack's offense, but when Wallace is flying around the energy is up, he's better on the boards and on defense, and that can get us back to playing Bobcat's ball like before.

I would take DJ, Hendo, Crash, Diaw, and Kwame, then go to Tyrus and Livingston first off the bench. Would get UPS more minutes as well.

      Yep he made the comment " I dont know what they were doing out there at that point" in the press conference. Let's be real they all got paid but they also know his system suppresses there offensive potential.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By woahfraze · Posted

      Why are you so fixated on yards? Even if yards were a good judge of QB play, his low yardage totals in some of those games were partly a function of drops (looking at you Xavier Leggette…).  I’m not advocating that Bryce was elite for the last half of last year, but the eye test certainly supported high level QB play for large stretches. He made a lot of high difficulty, put it on the money/drop in the bucket throws. He converted on 3rd and 4th down, kept drives moving, and put the team in position to win games. And it’s not on him that the defense blew it late after he led game tying drives, Leggette dropped a game winning TD, or Chuba fumbled the ball in OT. We could have finished the season close to .500 with wins against 3 playoff teams including KC and Philly during that stretch largely due to Bryce’s play.    Has he sustained this level of play long enough to deserve an higher ranking? No. But for judging based in that stretch alone, he would. But whether he can perform more consistently at that level or build on that, and thus earns a higher ranking, remains to be seen.
