I definitely believe in Barrett's passing longterm more than I believe in his shooting. I think a player is more likely to have a hot shooting streak than they are to have a hot passing streak. Barrett had several 10+ assist games in college, so that potential was clearly there. On the other hand, he's struggled with FT shooting at times. And he's always shot what I describe as a "hard ball." Not much touch. So I don't ever see him being a consistent shooter. I guess there's the possibility that Barrett's passing skills only work in this particular Rajakovic system. If that's the case, I hope Barrett doesn't get traded or Rajakovic get fired. Because I've always been pretty ambivalent on Barrett as a player and am really enjoying him now.

I really believe that if the Hornets were ever healthy and could get a little bit of momentum, we'd see a much more "serious" version of LaMelo.

You guys watch a ton of games, amazing. Good job.

[@JustGoodGames.]

The best!

[@HardwoodKnocksNBA]

@@cleokey what are these games of which you speak???

[@cleokey]

@HardwoodKnocksNBA in order to analyze the degree you do, takes time and a great knowledge of the game imo. Here in LA, I can't watch Lakers because I don't have their special channel. When they are away, the TNT, ESPN, etc. coverage is blocked because of their agreements? The Clippers??? No thanks. I don't have an NBA special channel either ... there's not a great deal of TV basketball ... mostly just watch the ESPN Gamecast and just follow the numbers, not live players. That's why I like your show, it's very enlightening. Thanks 😎✌️

If you believe the internet, Dan and Grant don't watch any games.

[@HardwoodKnocksNBA]

@ you are correct!

[@JustGoodGames.]

Isaac Okoro -- 46.2% from 3. Didn't really broaden horizons. Attempts are down. Maybe it will normalize, but he isn't playing himself off the court. Still think the best version of the Cavs are able to close with him so my hope is back (yikes!), but the window is definitely closing on him being that guy. Looks more engaged in rebounding and stuff but numbers don't reflect it even per game.

[@HardwoodKnocksNBA]

@@JustGoodGames. didn’t we kind of go through this last regular season with him lol

[@andrewabraham5109]

I'm curious, would the Cavs flip Isaac Okoro and Georges Niang for Dorian Finney Smith and Cam Johnson, what do you guys think? 🤔

[@HardwoodKnocksNBA]

the Cavs should absolutely do that but there'd need to be more money going to Brooklyn and I also can't see the nets doing it lol

[@cadenburse9567]

Santi Aldama should be here

[@HardwoodKnocksNBA]

good call out, especially as he's one of our siren songs!

[@anactualcloud]

Off topic. Have you guys discussed why the nuggets are so much worse than 2 years ago?

[@anactualcloud]

Or maybe have a most worsened players list would be good, and just have all of them but jokic on it.
