Let the new guys roll!
 
Just realized this game starts at the same time the Women’s National championship game starts.
Hmmmm
Caitlyn Clark or Shaedon Sharpe?
 
Probably too late for WNBA expansion and subsequent Caitlin tankjob.
 
Anyone else having a frame rate issue on their broadcast?
 
Nice to see the bench guys playing well and together. Watford is good to keep — Point-Power Forward (hyperbole, but is a 2nd level distributor). Eubanks as a 3rd string PF/C. Matisse is a good dude to keep for years.
 
How come the starters didn't play like this?
 
I almost feel like I am watching a video game; the ball and the players all move so much faster than our starters.
 
Eubanks putting some wood on guys.
Butler legit practicing his 3’s though he’s 2 years away from 200 pounds.
 
What the hell is Eubanks doing. Sharpe passes him the ball, and never sees it again. All Eubanks had to do was set up a dribble hand-off to Sharpe.
 
It’s a shame we didn’t get to see Watford and Sharpe play more with the starters like they did in the victory in Utah.

Watford is becoming hard to stop in space. With the starters he doesn’t have to worry about dribbling through heavy traffic, which is where he can get into trouble.
 
Really interesting that even though KAT should have a big advantage over Trendon or Drew on the offensive end, the guy has only taken one shot. And it's not like we're shutting him down by forcing him to turn the ball over. I know he's still getting re-acclimated coming back from injury but he should be at least attempting to dominate us.

Maybe we’ll see that in the 2nd half.
 
i dont get all the eubanks hate tbh, is he the best player? hell no, and does he make some bonehead plays? prolly.... but everyone does for the most part. He tries and tries hard and does a pretty damn good job getting some blocked shots and its not like hes getting paid like an all star or anything, maybe someone can explain it to me.
 
Eubanks is shooting over 50% so far......how can he be shooting too much?
Would have been better to say that in some circumstances his decision making was poor, which ended up with ugly misses.

He's a PF playing C just like Watford...tweeners. Both have really good hustle and Eubanks is a good shotblocker. I like the guy as bench insurance

Maybe Eubanks is playing for a spot on a team somewhere?
