I think I’ve had a enough of Frank the clank. He’s exactly what I thought he’d be here. Soft, streaky shooter, turnstile defense, can’t be relied upon in heavy minutes. He collected a few points at the end to make his box score look formidable but his play was lousy...again

Okobo held it down...kinda. He had some assists. I think his best skill is being able to drive wildly and then miraculously hit an open man. Kinda uncanny really. Maybe this is a building block for him. My biggest critique is that even after a full year and many years of international play he still looks “skakey” running a team.

You’d think Saric was our best player the way it feels like plays are drawn up for him in the first half of games. Now if he could just start making those shots...

It haunts me that just a few games ago EJ mentioned Tyler Johnson should be in the earlier conversation for 6th man...yeesh

I like the aggressiveness of Booker and Kelly(at times) on offense tonight. Just too little too late from this team tonight.

Get Diallo in there.

Good call.

[Superbone]

Lot of pessimism in this thread. I'm shame-tagging all of you after we whoop them tonight.

You were saying?

Trade idea: Elie for Harry Giles

[Nodack]

We were missing two centers and our PG. I am not surprised they struggled. Glad yo see Diallo get some PT. He’s a little rough but you can’t teach height. He should be Baynes BU until Ayton comes back.

He only started playing pg in the last year before he was drafted. He’s also only 21/22, so it’s not like he’s been playing at high levels for years.

Wow that really sucked to see.

Really telling that Monty didn't play Carter a single minute this game, even missing Rubio for most of it. It goes back to his quote after last game about our problem was not running our offense.

You can see how we don't seem to know how to play defense without Baynes yelling to everyone for every play he is on the court. He is the heart of our defense, and also the voice. We just looked lost without him on that side of the floor.

Not sure what is going on with Devin...

I just forgot to mention that I grew up in rural Uzbekistan, where "whoop" means, "get soundly thrashed by."
