Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Hes not a winning player most nights. Allen is.

Im down to talk about trading Allen down the road but not for Wood

Well, this is probably an outlier year but his shooting numbers this year are so high its impossible to not be a winning player.
 
20-11 is nice

But having gotten lucky in so many close games - including 5-0 in OT, this team hasn’t played as well as its record. And hasn’t played as well at home as the home record.

I’ll take it though
 
Got away with an ass game there lol

JB has a lot to answer for. Obviously this is not how this game should’ve gone, but that inbounds to Allen I’d the first thing I’d ask about because I didn’t realize our inbounding could get dumber.
 
Holy shit what is there even to say about this one. We won yayyy I guess
 
The team and the coaches have to recognize mismatches on the fly better than this.

You can't just let a team get away with Reggie Bullock guarding Jarrett Allen in crunch time like that. No awareness by anyone, Allen included.

Allen should call off the play and instead of coming to the top of the key to get the ball and set a screen on a handoff, go downlow and tell them to swing the ball so he can get an entry.

This is the responsibility of the coach. It's his job to create these opportunities or adjust to them when the other team has one.
 
Luckily Christian Wood is a fucking Idiot.

Want nothing to do with him @Rich

How so?

He might have a dumb play here and there but Jarrett Allen can, literally, not make a single shot outside of a dunk anymore. His offensive game has regressed fairly dramatically since he first arrived.
