We lost him way too soon.

We lost Carl Weathers last week who was a San Diego State football player.

Watching the Bucks/Suns game. Damn Robin Lopez is bad. Bucks don’t have enough to get out of the east anyway.
Suns are a team to watch out for. They could be a handful in the playoffs.
Back east it’s the Cavs I’d be most concerned about. Their depth is a question but so is the Suns. LaVert is a good sixth man though.
Boston…yeah but it seems like they’re in two modes. Elite & beating everyone or soft and losing to inferior teams.

He's blown multiple double-digit leads too in typical Glenn fashion.

As long as they keep that up, then the #1 seed in the League is still up for grabs. Clips getting home court throughput the playoffs would be huge.

How about "Nobody though I'd be here"?

Pat Bev is in town now. Heart transplant.

After I saw the price of Olynyk, Gafford or PJ Washington, such a bad job Presti have done in the trade deadline day. You could just pick any of them to help your team, literally.

I mean there is a huge-huge dropoff when Chet sits in OKC, they have no quality back-up big whatsoever and all Presti had to do was just trading one future first pick from that insane arsenal to help his team avoid from a massacre in the playoff. That passiveness are huge no signal to me that he doesn't believe the current core have any chance to win something so he'll be sitting&waiting on those picks when the real gem when available(Is it ever though? Ask Toronto Raptors). I Project OKC first round exit if they matchup against Suns, Pelicans or Kings. Dallas maybe too with those additions.

2027 SGA FA frenzy begin now.

I guess he wants to use all those picks for some star.

But they're going to have to give big extensions to JDub and Chet. They're already paying SGA a lot and will have to give him $50-60 million a year.

That's assuming he isn't going to bail on OKC.

So that may be where the picks come in handy.

But they are so way ahead of schedule, with SGA improving a lot, JDub likely to command a max extension. They can't use all those picks though.

Mavs blew out OKC by 35 pts. They are definitely a better team with the addition of Gafford and Washington. The west is just so damn tough, wouldn't surprise me to see some 1st round "upsets".

Boston hasn't got him on roster yet, but I think Xavier Tillman Jr. is gonna help them. He's a guy I'd hoped we'd make a run for. He's a player type I love for a low rotation spot ... doesn't do anything great on paper. Looks undersized. But he's a good ballhandler for his size, has great footwork, and plays smart. He's a 7/4.5/1.5 guy in around 20 mpg, which doesn't sound like much--except I'll bet he can do that for the next 7-10 years.

I think he will fill the Grant Williams role perfectly for them. Solid 8th man. I do also think Jaden Springer will be a better option then Pritchard for the 9th man due to his size&defense. Low key great deadline in Boston.

LMAO Doc losing to the Memphis Hustle!

Barkley said the Bucks win on talent alone--they don't play smart and don't really play hard either. That's why not only rookie coach Adrian Griffin was precipitously dumped, but championship coach Mike Budenholzer before him. Obviously there's a culture problem there.

Can Doc fix it? Maybe not. Maybe even probably not. He's known more for coddling his players than giving them a boot in the ass. But first, every coach has to let the guys do things THEIR way. They will only be receptive to coaching after they fail.

They're holding up their end with the failing part, lol. Maybe the infusion of Gallo and the return of Khris Middleton and working in Pat Bev [who was wretched tonight] will move the meter. But there are too many moving parts to draw a conclusion.

Ty finally has a rotation that's working and he's not gonna mess with it in the least. I wouldn't touch Mann as starter or Coffey taking the 4th quarter minutes. It's a tightrope. Don't look down.

Didn't take Glenn long to start throwing his players under the bus in public. He'll never change.

[clipperlover]

Bucks will be fine. They are just one FA shooting guard signing away from winning it all. One of the best defensive guards to ever play the game is out there waiting to sign.

Doc just waiting for the right time to bring him in.
