Line is up to 11.5, for those inclined.

i'm sure he'll play but dear lord imagine the offense without him.

EDIT: nvm apparently it's an elbow infection, not sure what the extent of that would be?

Getting harder to watch these games as its essentially the same starting lineup the team finished the season with last year, and we've all seen that show.

I am not inclined to watch much of tonight's game, so I'll be switching around a bunch.

Absolute bloodbath incoming, and without Grant, yeah, that's a firm no.

Wow, seems I recall him being out once last year and the team ball movement was simply beautiful and made me wish that we could move him to Boston. I don't really like his game and think it hinders the team movement.

Hopefully we get a career night from Bey if Grant is indeed out.

Given that these are sort of treading water until Cade arrives games, I see Grant being out as useful. More time for Jamorko Pickett and Trey Lyles to start gelling within other lineups. Maybe a little Stewart or Olynyk at PF. Maybe a little more ball movement too.

Josh Jackson getting the start over Frank Jackson is a good move I think.

Killian now shooting 8.3% from the floor on the season.

Josh starting instead of Frank, interesting. And we get to see Beef Stew with KO

No offense, and Atlanta is too good to stop on D. Gotta keep up or it'll get ugly fast.

Hayes missed a gimme after we call time-out! The guy couldn't shoot a ball into lake Michigan

trae young is legit giving hayes 6 feet of space when he has the ball and 10+ when he doesn't

Hayes and Stewart who can't score! That's 40% of your team

Man I find myself routing for Hayes to just turn it around but man is it ugly. His confidence is broke and any shot is a prayer 2ft-er or 25 ft-er. At this point it is go stand in the corner for him.

Bey with an off night to start for sure.

CoJo still cold too it looks like. Just nothing good from our PG play they talked about it during the pre-game.

Let S know when he's even close to the main problem on the team. We heard it at half time the other night, then I check the stats and we had 14 turnovers at half and Killian had ONE. He had 3 assists and should have had for and if Casey actually used the pick and roll the kid could have 7 or 8 assist in a half.

Our main problem is a terrible offensive game plan by the coach and poor shooting by the guys who we do depend on for scoring, which of course much of goes to Casey

Why we won''t run a play for Hayes? Allow him to get to the free throw line be aggressive
