    Interesting how the team fell apart when he got hurt. Correlation or causation?

    i think more correlation, but some causation, too. he takes pressure off AD and especially lebron on offense. and he's our third best player.

    that said, a LOT has to go wrong to lose two games by like 1000 points.

    Heal up AR, we need you. Our third best player and our glue guy.

    Yeah agree with that. He's probably not playing against Portland either, so hopefully he's back after the little break

    Only two weeks away.
    People dramatically undervalue AR.
    I’m not so sure they will anymore after watching this awful stretch of play without him.

    I didn't realize he played every single game last year until they mentioned it on one of these recent broadcasts. I will forever be frustrated that we made the Russ trade in the 2021 summer because we thought we needed more ballhandling/creation and kept THT over Caruso because we thought we needed more ballhandling/creation, when little did we know that we got the exact f***ing guy we needed as a UDFA in Austin that same summer. Obviously no one thought he was going to be this good, but its frustrating nonetheless.

    TBH..I don't think Austin would have got his shot, with Caruso and KCP still here though. To keep it real,there is nothing to suggest that he would have bumped either out of the rotation. Sometimes the opportunity to play, is the key factor to a player's success. Had we kept those guys, we would have been looking for more of a traditional ball handler at PG.

    Frank liked his veterans, KCP and Caruso fit his system.

    Want to be frustrated further? Go watch THT. He's one sandwich away from being Oliver Miller.
