Agree with Au on the defensive side. However, on the offensive side, he has made some pretty good dishes that lead to easy buckets.

Regarding Wesley, I view him like Dou. When they play within their limitations, they can be effective. The infuriating thing about them is they will try to do things out side of their capabilities every game, which lead to turnovers or bad possessions.

Au was having so many problems with their guard putting pressure on him. He could barely dribble it up the court.

The 1st thing I always look at with PG play is ball control and ability to facilitate the offense. They were a combined 8 to 3 assist to turnover ratio last night, that is not stellar but solid in my opinion. Wesley isn't afraid to attack the basket if he has to and has shown he can score inside or at least get to the line although his size does limit what he can do down there. Au certainly is a defensive liability as the knee issues have slowed him down. I don't think Wesley is quite as bad on the defensive end but once again his size can be exploited there too.

The issue with Wesley is teams are scheming to let him drive the ball and they aren't helping because he cant finish at the rim. That was StAte's gameplan and UTA let him do the same. When he isn't drawing any help, we can't get any open looks on offense. Now if you look at their PG last night, we were caught many times helping and he would kick out for wide open 3's. That was the difference in the game.

Wow, looks like I picked a good night to forget we were playing. Of course, it is becoming easier and easier to forget that we are playing.

I want to see Harper play meaningful minutes. He is easily the most athletic guard (player) on the team. He will only get better if coached properly and given playing time. He can also get off his own shot without help...who else can do that on this team of poor guard play?

Totally agree.

I’d be happy if Dou never dribbled the ball ever again but you can’t deny his hustle and passion. Hope he’s ok after that fall. Ouch

That hip check in mid air was such a dirty play. It’s as bad as planting your foot under someone as they’re coming down and causing a sprained ankle.

Bruh their announcer is orgasming so hard someone in the front row is gonna catch a money shot

Reminded of the radio calls when alley oops were a regular thing for us with Dwayne Mitchell.

Should have been a flagrant foul.
