Should be a fun game with so many young players out there. I thought McGruder looked G-League bound until his recent uptick in play. Showed some solid instinct for making plays. He'll at least get his minutes tonight. Same for Lee. Not Sekou of course. Can't go that far.

we're pretty thin at guard this game, wright and lee are our only PGs available and mcgruder and jackson are our only SGs. no idea if frank jackson will play, last report on him was that he was sick but that was over a week ago.

maybe bey will slide down to SG at times? i'm not expecting a pretty offensive game tbh...

So I guess its safe to assume that Sekou killed and ate Casey's cat in front of him or something.

Man Eubanks tries to murder people on those blocks, I like his game.

Or that sekou as been as low energy in practice as he's been in games.

Sekou can’t even get in when Grant goes off injured

Looks like the tank will roll tonight.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

Weaver deserves more credit. He knows having no shooters at all is the perfect Tank Ingredient.

Sekou’s time seems to be done here. Maybe we’ll see a year 3 leap

Yeah I can't get into this, not that I don't want it to happen but way to boring.

Take THAT Houston.

This is such an odd team. They just about beat the Lakers and Nets twice, they beat the Sixers but then they lose handily to Cleveland and get smoked by a Spurs team without DeRozan that got demolished the night before. I actually thought they would go on a 3 game winning streak here, boy was I way off.

Young guys can't win, so we should be glad they're carrying on the tank unlike earlier fears from the start of the season when they had more hustle and no scouting info which let them have free reign against the other team

Good game
