Because of his foot speed could get Teske in foul trouble as we just saw.

I think you want the better post-up defender on the guy who is going to post up more. Donā€™t think Johns would do well there.

I feel like the guys arenā€™t even willing to pass the ball to Johns because they know heā€™s not going to shoot it.

Hope we donā€™t play like a bunch of ā€œthugsā€ tonight.

26

Like Brooks pushing the pace. OTOH Wagner looks shaky. And Johns not making an early three. . .

27

What the hell has happened to Teskeā€™s post D?

Johns already has two shot attempts

I know Johns has given us some good stuff but this would be a great game to stretch the floor and get Nunez/DeJulius some run

I canā€™t say I really agreed with the multiple pregame (and announcer) takes that Johns had been playing really well lately. I guess if you just look at the box score and see heā€™s playing more minutes.

Left it in Atlantis

He should have even more considering heā€™s getting the Tum Tum defense.

33

You canā€™t be surprised, thoughā€¦

34

Didnā€™t Poole just get sent down to the G-League? Not the best timing for that question haha

35

I think Iā€™ve see more ā€œbadā€ Simpson turnovers in the first half of this season than his previous 3 years combined.

Thatā€™s X in a nutshell: 2 consecutive turnovers then a tremendous find to Teske.

37

Also his least talented set of teammates and highest usage role.

Yeah, the ones that lead directly to an easy basket on the other end are especially painful.

In what world is that not a shooting foul?
