I’m don’t see them playing any better against good teams than this. Hard to get this level of focus when the trade rumors swirl.

Beal showing some life. He’s had active hands all night defensively. Nice to see him get a 3.

I haven’t found much time to watch in the past few weeks but that was the best half of basketball I can remember seeing this year.

Plumlee, Grayson making plays, Durant getting to his spots, and Royce O’Neal dominating the last 3 minutes of the half. Booker is nuclear hot too.

Is part of rookie hazing giving Dunn a grenade to chuck on 2 of the first 5 possessions?

I love this win. Bud recognized what and who was working and stuck with it (and essentially benched Nurk 2nd half) And then gave Nurk a chance to help late. Love the approach. Dunn/Oneal is a phenomenal wing rotation. Once Grayson gets going, we’re not going to see awful bench lineups. The top 8 can ...

Dunn is going to be great. Holy smokes. What a stop on Lebron.

Running that Vogel offense. Throw it to Nurk for him to back a smaller guy down and miss a layups. Chef's kiss. I think we need to rename it the Beal 3-guard offense. We’re giving up size not just defensively, but offensively. And if Nurk can’t finish over Rui, AD gets to continue to frustrate KD, B ...

lol ugly but we’ll take it. Thanks James.

KD cannot handle the ball at the top of the key.

It’s going to be a problem that both KD and Book both have a similar flaw in terms of being prone to turnovers on iso in the clutch.

He won't be doing any of that against our Nurk.

It really does seem like the pendulum is swinging back to needing bulk/height to compete. Small-Ball was fun while it lasted.

He Dunn good.




This is Shawn Marion type stuff.

If we stumbled upon Matrix with a fixed jumper, start clearing space in the RoH now.

Yes…but you’d need to add a lot more salary. Hunter and Capela? I would probably do that. I would readily ditch Beal for a rim running 5 and good sized wing, but I think if you acquire Capela you gotta send out Nurk in a separate deal to acquire one more wing/scorer. Either way, this team has too mu ...

Remember when we heard Ayton wasn’t being traded and he’d do well in Vogel’s system?

My exact thoughts. Gambo carrying water for Mat to sustain his access to rumors.

Vanderbilt would solve a lot of problems for us defensively. Gabe and Rui don’t have me too excited. I think for this roster, there’s no way we can start another guard next to Beal/Booker. We give up too much size when KD is the 4 with 3 guards, none of whom are bonafide POA defenders (Booker holds h ...

Mitchell could have been useful here; given away for peanuts to clear a roster spot. That's a shame.

And picking Holmes for Denver and trading back. He’s a legit wing with size, hope that doesn’t bite us in the arse later.

Awfully quiet rn with our pick

I’m refreshing Twitter like crazy. Either scrambling to trade down or the no leaks JJ regime is back on the menu.

Oh I don't want Herro, it would require a 3rd team (or 4th team) Atlanta and Brooklyn would be my preferred trade parters: Beal --> MIA Cam J/Capela --> PHX Herro/Ben Simmons/FRP (MIA), FRP (BKN)--> ATL Trae Young/Duncan Robinson --> BKN Turning Beal into a rotation wing and rim-running center is my ...

I can't help but think that Herro showing himself to not be the reliable scorer they wanted him to be in MIA could open the door to them re-considering Beal. MIA was one of the prior destinations he waved the NTC for...

If we trot out a starting lineup with 3 shooting guards 6'5" and under again, none of whom who can handle physical defensive assignment, with KD at the 4, we will have learned nothing. There's no way they could have watched this team for 86 games and felt that the only missing ingredient was ...
