Actually I think it was 5.



Yeah I just checked the play by play, it was 5. He checked into the game, and our next 6 possessions consisted of 4 missed jumpers by Smith, a blocked layup from Smith, and a turnover from Jennings.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

I don't understand this tank talk. Tank for what, the 10th spot? The hell is that?

Skiles would bury Richardson on the bench and Skiles defenders would say.

..."He's an NBA coach. He knows way more than you or me."

..."Richardson was the 40th pick, we just need to be patient until he hits his prime."

..."Richardson has to prove it in practice first."

The Richardson foul kept him on the court. It was a terrible shot.

If we do it good enough, we could get way higher than 10th.

I'm not looking forward to seeing what Andrew Nicholson does to us when he plays for another team.

I hope this summer we replace all our veterans with guys fresh off of good teams and good defensive teams.

Bigs
Pau/Noah/Horford/Mahinmi/Ezeli/Zaza/Mozgov/Speights/Biyombo

Wings
Batum/DeRozan/H.Barnes/M.Barnes

Points
Conley/Chalmers/Dellavedova

Surely we can get at least one of the better guys, and a couple of the cheaper options, too?

Cmon Skiles. Sometimes in the game the other team does something to their lineup, when that works for them it's called an "adjustment". You're supposed to do that too at certain times.

I don't think I'm crazy for saying that his offense is so potent, it's worth partnering him with an elite defensive C to see what he could do if unleashed.

..."Richardson was the 40th pick, we just need to be patient until he hits his prime."

..."Richardson has to prove it in practice first."

His defense wouldn't be good enough for Skiles. If you look at 6"3-6"5 SGs that have started 40 games and played 800+ minutes while having a DRB% > 12, his DRTG is pretty low.



Nothing a little practice can't fix though

I'm gonna be disappointed if Whiteside doesn't get another basket for his career high. You've gotta drive the nail through the coffin, Hassan.
