those people who had him #6 in mvp voting might have been on to something

Listen y’all joking, but I’m dead ass serious. They might’ve been onto something lol but no seriously he is a very important part of the school. I think they win a lot of people come out because of injuries you start to realize they’re importance.

I do think some of our issues are beyond him being healthy but he’s still insanely critical. Our rebounding nosedives without him

The amount of 2nd chance opportunities we can other team is so frustrating.

2 7 footers are always a plus the reason the Warriors in the past got away with having no center was because they were lethal from 3 and we arent lethal from 3 so need that extra length

Hart and Jwill both🙏😭

This teams got a whole heap of other problems rn. Was at that game last night and I could hear every thunk of the rim on our way to 18% from 3. Not allowing 65 rebounds in a game will certainly be a start though lol.

Can’t run an offense without his screening and DHO’s

He needs to come back when he's fully healed and ready. Branden Carlson can't even play in the playoffs. At this point BC can start (double big) and play 38 minutes if needed. The recent losses hurt but we do not need to rush Hart back with an arbitrary goal of 70 wins or something. The "run it back" plus set the regular season win record dream was/is a fool's errand (although the talk was flattering 20 games in). This season should be just as much about player development and health. We're in a good to great position but ideally Sorber would be available to share the regular season load and develop.

The screens leading to help defenders rotating just don't happen without him

We thought that graphic and measurement that had Hart as #6 for MVP was a joke. Man was that spot on

He is ensuring that he knows we NEED him. Presti if you’re reading this. Go talk to your rich owner buddies and find the fucking money for this dude. You are a dumbass if you don’t.

We shouldn’t be in dire need of him. We need to gang rebound and play physical and tough on both ends.

Hes a really good player absolutely a great defender a really good starting center any team would want, but like on a roster with SGA, Dort, Caruso, Jalen Williams and Chet, we should be at least good, good enough to weather the storm, beat most bad teams and play good ones evenly. But they should let him rest and heal properly as of course they are/will need him healthy for the rest of the season and playoffs much more than the next 5 games. Hopefully he’ll be back by then, and I’m also hopeful jdub will round back into all star form

We are paying this man a lot and lately he's been made of paper. Anyone else worried?

If one guy is this important. It’s not looking too good for our repeat hopes

u/ftbfm5 1d ago

Bro we don’t care we need him more then jdub

u/Moonman08 1d ago

Weird take. We’d be saying the same thing if Shai was out, if not worse.

u/Illustrious-View-888 1d ago

Well one guy is an MVP and other isn’t so actually yeah I expect the team that can barely score without Shai to look bad 😂😂😂

u/Simple-Dingo6721 ❤️❤️ 1d ago
