Solid C for the season. Jury is out and waiting for more evidence for the post season. We all expected more from the big 3 inspite of expecting injuries. As others have said, the whole is not bigger than the sum of its parts right now and has stuttered to 49 wins. We have some great players who shou...

What’s wrong? Team construction & application. Ability to play defence both on the perimeter and also against any real size at the 4, or the 5 when Nurk sits. Bench depth at the 5 and 4. Lack of any real point guard. Lack of a point guard who can actually control a game, especially in the 4th as...

The sad thing is you’re spot on!

The whole thing is pretty sad though.
It’s the hope that kills you but even the big 3 haven’t been what we’d hoped, never mind the supporting cast.
Their talk of ‘it’s all for the playoffs’ will be interesting as it plays out.
Always hoping for a championship, expecting an earlier than wanted exit.

What I thought we needed more than anything was a secondary rebounder for when our bigs switched. Is he a good rebounder? If we can secure the 1st defensive rebound consistently I can't see many teams beating us Same. For me the two biggest challenges we seem to face are our turn overs and especial...

Not up to date with the buyout market. Anyone who moves the needle for us?

Maybe Biyombo for center depth?

well, better the devil you know I guess

Vogel is reportedly content with what we have but I’m sure that is a smoke screen. Everyone can see the weaknesses of the side so it’s down to the front office to work some magic. I just feel this team is 1/2 players short of being really competitive for a title this year. If we stand pat we will fa...

The sooner we get any trades done the better so we know what we’ve got left to work with. Personal accolades are all well and good but relatively meaningless when the team isn’t doing well inspite of them. I'm sure Book would rather have the wins. Agreed Bro, it is just so frustrating that these am...

Do they have any length in their squad? If so we will of course play small ball with very little defensive effort and then we will wonder why we get out rebounded and out hustled.

This is a frustrating one. Bridges would definitely help in many ways but comes with proven baggage. However, we still revere and honour a different player who interfered with a minor. Does Bridges get another chance (yes he’s on strike 3 already) or is he forever ‘that guy’? Do we lower KJ’s banner...

Caught up with the full game today. The win flattered the Lakers to be fair. Garbage minutes almost the whole of the 4th to get some reps for the bench in. Grayson and Eric left many a wide open 3 off the board. KD was focused on Lebron and still got a nice return. And Bradley seems to have shown up...

For me it is the biggest challenge we’ve had as a franchise under James Jones. His draft acumen is lacking and so frustrating. Yes, we could go back even further with some older picks, but the guy is still here and now we are bereft of picks down to some of the recent trades. This board really would...

Happy Christmas all. Have a lovely day and an even better 2024.

This was one of those games where an even slightly productive bench would help and we had our 6th & 7th men out. Agree there’s still much to work on and it’s not going to be the beating of teams in 3 quarters as some predicted with the big 3, but most teams would struggle with two of their top 7...

I was indifferent about Cam Reddish before this season, but now I hate him. His only value on the court is fouling and he gets away with way too much because he's on the Lakers with LeBron. Agreed. 2 serious fouls and possibly flagrant ignored along with others. And the announcers played it down bo...

Yes, apparently counting to 3 on a travel is a difficult thing but they will happily let some take 4, 5 or 6 on some moves and that’s no issue.
Just adds to the absolute nonsense of consistency you see all the time.

DA per 36: 11.8 FGA, .8 FTA, 14 pts, 12.6 reb, 1.6 ast, 1.7 stl, .9 blk, 2.3 tov Nurk per 36: 10.6 FGA, 5.2 FTA, 13.9 pts, 11.7 reb, 5.7 ast, 1.6 stl, 1.2 blk, 2.7 tov Hmm.
