Batum hands on his head is my favorite recurring reaction this year

I worry about how much weight he carries on his frame, while playing like a vertical style. Those guys never hold up.

Put Joel back in.

Does the organization not know that artificially prolonging this fake streak makes them a laughingstock? Surely Joel knows.

I have no idea why Joel, Ben, Brett, Doc, Elton, Zumoff, Sam, Collars, and Nick nurse have held back Furkan.

Furkan Korkmaz is actually Keyser Soze. A mythical feared villain that nobody has ever met. Real life gangsters are scared of this Turkish icon. He has disguised himself as Furkan Korkmaz and has forced mainly Elton Brand to keep him on the roster because basketball happens to be his favorite sport. I know this because Tyler Durden knows this.

They gotta keep Jo on board during a season where they know they have no chance.

Letting him prolong fake streaks is one way to accomplish this.

Why are you all so upset that he played 3 more minutes, lol. We won and it was never in doubt.

I know, but let it go. Whenever there's an opportunity to keep the streak alive, they'll take it. As long as it doesn't impact the game result or his fatigue too much.
One day the streak will end. Until then, let's enjoy it. Especially when the team is winning.

Wow, I just saw the box score. Jeff Green is -30 in 12 minutes on the floor. How is that even possible, lol.

The people behind the schedule are idiots lol

Why put a Denver/Philly game with the visiting team on the second leg of a back to back...

We've been screwed by the schedule thus far. More games with less rest than our opponent than vice versa.

I blame Adam Slither.
