Coach has emptied the bench. Down 15 with 3:30 left.

I'm not convinced we'll beat the Pistons tomorrow, even with Booker. We've looked pretty shambolic at times today.

Glad we're being smart with Book. Don't really care about these early games, the schedule and travel sucks. We just need to get everyone out there by December and then the real season will start.

I agree. I just hope KD is not getting too many miles / bumps on him. We need him healthy in April, too.

Even I, who was probably the most pessimistic about this season overall, bet the over on the Suns in our competition thread. I thought we would at least win a lot of games. Not looking good.

That in itself is reason to worry.

Made sense with another early game tomorrow at noon.

2-4 is not great, but 2-4 is not at all the same as, say, 20-40. It is still very early in the season. We have 2 of our 3 best players returning very soon. We have a new coach, new system, and like 15 new players. We have a roster loaded with talent. We'll get better.

If Beal has a back injury then maybe don’t make him take multiple flights for no reason and sit on the bench so the whole game. Seems like even a non doctor could figure that one out

For all the talk of its just November, was Vogel preaching accountability all pre season. And didn’t we jut lose to a Sixers team who has a roster in complete flux.

Quick question, at what point does everyone start taking the season seriously even with injuries?

Are you talking about fans or the team?
