Should be another good tank week. 0-3 is very likely. The "easiest" game is the Cavs.

[Split T]

ESPN says this next 10 game stretch is our toughest 10 game stretch of the season. 2 against warriors and Cavs. One each against Boston, houston, Utah, clippers, pistons and magic. Probably looking at 1-9

Wish for the rest of the season: Reed gets all (or most) of Troy Daniels minutes. Also, when Alan William comes back, we should shelve either Chandler or Len and only play the other situationally in the "Andrew Bogut" role (starts the 1st and 3rd, plays 5 minutes and then sits). Bender and Williams should get the rest of the time at the 5.

[Superbone]

Shaquille Harrison in his 9 games with the Suns has had a postive +/- in every game he's played except for a -1 in 35 seconds against OKC.

Anybody caught this from last night ?
I know he said the politically correct thing and included himself in the criticism but any kind of sound byte like that makes me nervous of Devin being one step closer to having enough of being here

[bajanguy008]

Oops , not sure why the tweet not posting properly using my phone. Can somebody fix that for me.....

The '?s=19 si what 's keeping the tweet from resolving.

Did you guys know we're only 31 games under .500?

Ok kool but yea that's what Devin had to say. I mean we've been saying it on here for a while but still

[O_Gardino]

I think your feeling is justified, Bajan. Losing is one thing, but to be less competitive in his 3rd season than we were in his first has got to be tough. Especially watching guys from his draft class win and fight for the playoffs.

[Shabazz]

I think I'd rather Terry Rozier at PG next season than Elfrid. He's better at the things that matter next to Booker (defense and 3 point shooting).

[INFORMER]

He's not a free agent though. Or are you thinking of trading for him?

I wouldn't be surprised to see Ryan pursue Marcus Smart...

I think the Cs will be forced into a Smart vs. Rozier decision. If they choose Smart, I don't think it would take a ton to get TR.

[specialsauce]

Please no Marcus Smart

Why is Booker playing even a consideration

Looks like we are trying to win, helps the tank, no real permanent risk with the splint and all. Its a briliant way to tank. Put injured players out there on crutches at let everyone know you are giving it your all.
