    On the lighter side, Hart and Zo both “liked” this tweet

    Probably. Brandon has been good this season; I think we've seen enough. We know what we have; we know his strengths and weaknesses. I wouldn't want to see him shut down, but I'm confident he'll come back better next season.

    We forget he's still so young...

    I believe everything is up across the board for him statistically as well...I'm very pleased with him.

    I guess now that he really is in the concussion protocol maybe (and hopefully) that is why he missed those 3 FTs in the final 1-2 minutes of the Bucks game.

    Weez, I'm just keeping it 100 towards one of my favorite players. I know you're a BI guy too. I firmly believe dude has the "it" factor, so I'm just evoking my inner-Luke and being extra hard on the kid cause I know he's capable of getting there.

    #GrowingPains...As of right now, he ain't built for this in every sense of the word. He's been in and out of the lineup, so dude has 2 objectives this summer. Get your body right for the grind of 82 games and with the expectations that next year it ain't ending there cause you're trying to play into late May and early June. Get right! With the right body, comes better shooting form, the ability to slide effortlessly and play better D and hit that paint hard to go earn some charity at the stripe.

    Which brings us to his free throws. As a wing, you gotta hit at a better clip. I think the time he puts in the gym will improve his shooting form and strength. But at the charity, he needs to embrace and become one of our most dependable sources of production in that regard. He has to hit at a higher clip.



    Please shut him down.

    If we are shutting down BI and Ball, we need to not play Randle and Kuzma 40 mins a game or else they'll join those two behind the bench.

    Both those guys are more physically mature than the latter. Hence, they haven't really haven't missed much time this year. Kuz could do with a little more strength department, but BI and Zo need to develop some more to play through the rigors of a full NBA season against physically strong players.

    Me neither. He could be our baby Pippen.
    I'm all in PG and Lebron with Randle bandwagon.

    Having these players on cheap contracts and not being close to their ceiling is too much of a gamble to ship out for a one year advancement on Kawhi IF he really wants to be here.
