Literally going from 8th seed to 9th seed in the East is the difference between getting a prospect like DJ hunter or Keldon Johnson.

I would much rather just miss the playoffs and comeback next year with a new young prospect too hope develops into something. It takes good drafting but damn we gotta get something out of the draft cause we’re starving

Kennard sitting on the bench with ice on both knees, is he nursing an injury? I would love to see some Khyri Thomas instead of the corpse of Calderon :/

Langolis answered that earlier cause fans have been noticing him icing his knee every time he sits. Apparently he just does it and nothings wrong.

Casey gonna Casey.

He doesn’t realize that the ONLY chance this team does anything is if guys like Kennard, Brown, and Khyri play and end up surpassing expectations when really given the green light (ala Middleton).

With Calderon he’s just clinging to what he knows as the ship slowly takes on water.

Calderon has by the eyeball test been our worst player out there tonight, we literally could trot out anywho who can dribble the ball and get at least the same performance. Wall is just obliterating him :/

The best 5 minute stretch of basketball we've seen out of the starters all season to start the third.

I’ll say this about watching Drummond’s career so far. He’s naturally soft but he won’t back down from anyone in a physical altercation.

True, still there’s no flight mentality with him once it gets real which isn’t necessarily dependent on your size but just a split second reaction emotionally

Bench really lost the momentum in the 3rd quarter. Casey really needs to start staggering the lineups more. Should never be moments with Blake, Dre, and Reggie all on the bench together. Never.

I don't get why sometimes it seems Blake passes up an open shot to try to draw a foul. That's what he did on that travel call, then passed up an open 3 on the next possession to put it on the floor.
