Man I really though Max would elevate given more minutes and responsibility. Hell of a shame.

No way to judge before 20 games

I've still got hope. We've seen a positive change in Rui already but Max hasn't progressed at all. Hopefully Max can show out against the Raptors.

I think leading the Japanese team to a somewhat successful showing during the Olympics has done wonders for Rui's confidence. I think thats a big reason for the change in Rui.

The real issue last year was the Lakers dropped games they should have easily won.. this and the Pistons game are great barometers to see the team come out and dominate lesser tier teams

He’ll have 1 highlight dunk where you get excited followed by about 4 drives where you just think “wtf are you doing”

Max has started to play well. I don't get JJ going to Vincent over him. Let him continue to build confidence.

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

Damn. Hope he's alright.

Reaves a tough cac, he’ll be good. He’s not soft like that metrosexual bum Vando

 

[Dr. Narcisse]
