Coby should stop with the 30ft 3s.

Win or lose, Patrick and the team have looked good tonight.

Jones is good. I've been saying it would be insane to keep him but not at all if we can move another guy to make it make sense. Maybe Lonzo or Ayo.

Pat is so dumb. 1.5 great plays in 30 seconds and then doesn't box out.

What a shot by Vuc

lmao

Tough loss. Pat at PF just doesn't work, because he's a massive liability on the glass. Williams gambled and nearly got the steal, but he didn't get back to box out Green for basically the game-winning play. We don't really have an advantage when he's the four. Just play him at the three.

Pat is a tweener. He's too slow to play the 3 and he's not good enough to defend bigger 4's. He's better off the bench where he'll get more touches and go up against more rotational players. He's generally way more efficient going up against second units.

But they havent really taken advantage of it. Smith and Colins immediately took 5 straight 3s and bricked them all lol

Its early but I am sure that is not the idea when both of them are playing together.

Billy only did that because they went Adams Sengun.

He would never do that to make the other team adjust.

We shot terrible, are depleted and still almost won that game.

They were too. 2nd of BTB. No Amen Tari or Reed.

Don’t know why Cam didn’t play.

I was surprised that OKC didn't keep Alperen Sengun when they drafted him in 2021. They traded him for two first round picks...one from Detroit and one from the Wizards. I have no idea what happened to those picks since that time.

I just can't believe Washington beat Denver.

Neither pick has been conveyed yet. The Wizards pick is top 8 protected next year and then becomes a 2nd round pick. They should consider that good as gone. The Pistons pick likely will convey this year [2025 (top 13 protected), 2026 (top 11 protected) or 2027 (top nine protected), it will turn into a 2027 second-round pick].

Is that the Detroit pick that Minnesota now owns?

OKC needed a center at that time which is why I thought it was odd to trade Sengun. But they have Chet and Hartenstein now so I guess it doesn't matter.

Good deal for the Rockets.

Right now we're tied with Portland with 28 wins and 39 losses. The Spurs are 28 and 38.

Good might be a stretch.
