Bally's + (707 Comcast)

During Monty's post-game comments, the graphic said 7pm, but this isn't the first time they've completely goofed the schedule. A few weeks ago they had us playing on a day we didn't play.

Luka rest game?

Well this sucks. I am forced to watch the Pistons as they are playing the Mavs.

Great.

Not to give more bad news, but Duren is questionable because of back spasms.

The Detroit Pistons are signing Jaylen Nowell for the rest of the season with an injury hardship exception, league sources told @hoopshype
. The 24-year-old guard has averaged 8.7 points on 57.9 percent shooting in 16.7 minutes for Detroit.

So
Cade

Ausar
Metu
Sarr

All shooters except ausar (he was showing improvement) next year here me
Come, lol.

I would rather clean house completely, save for Cade/Tek. I really, really like Ausars defense, but his shooting isn't just bad, it's .186% bad from three. How much is he realistically going to improve?

Cade
Grayson/Monk
Tek
Traded for 4
Claxton

It all depends on what Duren/Stewart/Ivey/Ausar+pick will land the team, at the 4 spot.

Fill out the bench with leftovers, and more free agent signings.

Good win tonight! Low turnovers make a huge difference

Sasser is going to score 50 in Summer league. He’s made for these types of games lol.

Endearing listening to special K talk about Hardy. Never met the guy but you can tell he’s a good dude

It's amazing that people will call Metu (27%) and Sarr (29%) "shooters", but will complain about guys like Stewart (38%) and Ivey (34%) not being able to shoot lol

Well this game definitely showed us that we are bettter without Cade, Duren, Ausar, Stewart, Grimes and Tek

I was just throwing words out there. I never looked at stats. This has been a terrible season. Just wanted some laughs, idk what next season will look like roster wise.

Didn’t know sarr is 29% that’s pretty dissapointing to hear, lol

Yeah, Sarr's 3 point shooting is purely theoretical.

Is there a single top ten prospect that actually projects as a GOOD 3 point shooter? The French guy faded out, and the rest are all under 35 percent. Sheppard seems to be the only one, but his game screams Luke Kennard/bench player to me…….

I turned it off after Ivey's 2nd turnover to start the game.. Cade and Duren being out with Font, Stew, Ausar is just no fun... I tried to watch, telling myself it's the last time I'll see them, and tried the beginning of the 2nd half, but ended up just fast-forwarding to the last minute.. I have even less interest in other games. Pretty tired of guys passing up wide open easy lay-ups to throw it to the 3pt line, shot clock violation/brick, the constant ref pauses..
