    Not a god shooting night from Naji. From the Ft line in particular. Had to be just a mental thing. He had made 10 straight FTs before tonight.

    But the guy just produces. 15/7/6 with another 2 steals trying to handle Kyrie. Thats 5 steals in the last 3 games.

    Keep finding these and the near future will be ok.

    Yep. If Naji improves his shooting he becomes a real weapon

    Can we send Bledsoe to Australia since Didi is coming over?

    Already, he's the best guard on the roster.

    Another benefit of Zo leaving that frees up more time for Fred to work with other players lol. But being for real I did hear that Josh wanted to work with Fred during the last off season but Josh said Fred was to busy with other players or something like that.

    For real. The shooting comes and goes, that's fine, I don't think anyone expects him to be one of the best shooters in the league and that's what you need to be if you want to basically never have an off night. But like you say, there's ways to produce when the shot isn't falling and he did that. Passes well, especially on the move, and plays hard defense. That buys minutes, every time.
    Basketball.

    We are closing in fast on the lottery. Washington and Chicago are screwing up their tank modes.

    Moving up one spot in the lottery, from 11th to 10th, basically doubles our odds of a top 4 pick from about 9% to about 17%. That's a huge leap from just one spot.

    We an almost sure fire win Thursday against the Magic

    We only got two other tankers on the schedule with OKC and Minny.

    Possibly LA resting players.


    If we get settled at 8th. That's a really great spot.

    The one silver lining we can possibly hang our hats on for this turbulent season.

    I was not an advocate for tanking, and I'm still not in the strictest sense. However, I'm definitely done looking at the 10th seed and I'm all in for finding out what the young guys have and am okay if we end up losing.

    I?m kind of glad I sold these tix. I would?ve wanted to see Durant or Harden play. Not just Kyrie.

    As am I. I just happened to believe that instilling a culture of winning was better for the team's future than another middle lottery pick. I think we've got plenty of youth, and not enough winning experience. At this point, it's clear the winning is not happening this year.

    The better the pick, the better the player you get when you trade it. I dont think they are adding another rookie regardless. The difference between the 7th pick and the 12th could be the difference in trading Bledsoe and the pick for Jerami Grant instead of Larry Nance (just an example)

    Either way (better player via trade or via draft) is fine.

    Anything but an 18 or 19 year old. They are never ready to contribute now (the all-knowing Zion clock is ticking) and when they are skilled enough to contribute, they are on the first flight out of town.
