Again.

win or lose.... we'll probably lose

Zzzzzzzz

I had a dream that we fired Griff and in off season dump Hayes, Kira, Billie, Tomas, Temple.

Then, we got Rubio, Patty Mills, Patrick Beverly, and Montrezl Harrell.

I was like... This must be a dream, because we got a real bench.

For the love of God

Send NAW to China. He has no place near an NBA court

Package Jax and Didi with him

I have no words how bad that draft was

Starters should be...

Kira
BI
JV
JHart (if available)
HJones

Off the bench...

DG4
H'Gomez
Naji
JA15
Trey
GClark

Send the rest up I-59.

UPDATE: Josh Hart is out, so start Trey or Naji

We are legitimately 1/12 from the floor through 7.5 minutes.


Incredible.

2/20 from the floor in 10 minutes of play.

Wow. That was pathetic. lol

We're now 3 minutes deep into the 2nd quarter - so 15 minutes of play - and we're 7/31 from the floor. 22.6%

Trey Murphy is 2/2 from deep. He is our only 2 made threes - we're 2/11 from beyond the arc.

Ingram is the only starter who has hit a shot.

End of the first half and we're somehow down only 48-46 when we shot 30.4% for the entire half and they shot 41%.

The reason? Well, there's a few, but I think the primary driver is we had 6 TOs and they had 11. So even though they shot better, we took 9 more shots which made up the deficit.

At least on paper, this is BI's best passing game of the year for sure. 12 assists, 0 turnovers.

Since starting 2/20, we've gone 24/43.

We've won the third by 15 points so far. Amazing.

NAW can’t pass.

That was a stupid decision by naw on that 3 on 1 fastbreak

Great 3Q!!!! Last two possession left a sour taste in my mouth though.

NAW can pass.

Temple playing hard to start the 4th. lol

yes he can...3 on 1 and he throws it to a blue jersey smdh..

they playing zone..put trey back in so he can be open for the corner 3s...

Gosh, just came home to watch the game. See their leading so I may wait don't want to throw it off. Lol.

Oh, so he played Trey tonight? That's great.

^Trey goes 3 for 3 on 3's.... time to get this young man out of here!

Rather have Trey is missing than NAW just chunking up his usual bricks.

That's great.

NAW GOAT

NAW so careless with the ball. smh

Lol. So funny to see GOAT next to NAW's name then that he's careless w/ the ball which means he did something good then something bad which is just like him. He is one inconsistent dude. If he is still here next year hopefully being w/ Willie and the other coaches can help him w/ that.

That's win 7.

Give Trey more minutes, dammit.

Just looked at the score. Great win. So proud of the guys and they did this one w/o Josh Hart.

I know this is optimistic of me b/c nothing is easy for us but our next five games are winnable if the team continues playing the way it has been.

i like seeing our 2 centers getting double doubles..

Our schedule going forward is much easier in general than our schedule that's behind us. We had a very difficult schedule to start the year. We've played, within 25 games:

- Sixers
- Bulls
- Hawks
- Suns
- Warriors
- Nets
- Grizzlies
- Wizards x2
- Heat
- Clippers x2
- Utah Jazz x2
- Mavericks x3

All of those teams are currently playoff teams with winning records.

By comparison, we have yet to play any of Orlando, Detroit, Houston, Toronto, San Antonio, or Portland, all teams currently outside of the playoff picture - haven't played any of them even once yet. And we've only played Indiana and OKC once each as well.

Our first 25 games have been a murderer's row, in a way.

Great win! Everybody played well including Temple who played some impressive D on Luca. Our players and the coach are too timid a bit and we are not getting the same calls as the other teams. I don?t get it why Trey is not getting more minutes

Been big on Herb since early on and I think he was a great find. Maybe it’s a case of the right coach as Stan was for NAW/Jax but he seems to have the right character and as a result he is earning those minutes. When we fire Griffin to the moon (Very VERY likely), I hope Willie isn’t part of the house clearing (unless a legendary HC falls in our laps). Time for us to figure out an identity. We seem to be building at least a little bit of it with BI back in the fold.

Worst part of the game? NAW missing a blatantly open Graham in the corner and instead passing it to a not blatantly open Herb, who eventually got it to Graham for the three. Just shows the tunnel vision of NAW

Booster shot wiped me out and finally got to watch

I'm honestly not surprised.. BI is really at his best when he's facilitating and scoring. BI is pretty good at calling plays as well. Wish he didn't get tunnel vision as much, but what I can always credit BI is that he is extremely humble. He's quick to see his error and try to change it. It is just the consistency.

11fts, 8 rebs, and 2 stls offset a below average shooting night.

Undefeated in the Gary Clark era!

Funny thing is I had a goofy old professor at Dillard named Gary Clark. I wonder…

This shows it... We've had BY FAR the hardest schedule in the league so far. For the remaining 59 games, we have the easiest.
