The Christie Brothers are damn good. We got Cam Christie. Not sure why he's not getting a look post trade. We're on our third backup big and I guess Kai is stashed for next season, but probably still won't get in games next season if he's still on the team. No Kobe Brown minutes. Flowers has huge potential, but nope. Not sure about Jordan Miller these days, his 50 games are almost up. I'm supposed to go to the game tomorrow, but do I want to see 20 turnovers, Harden out of gas, Kawhi losing the ball & struggling to get double digit scoring, and Zu kicking it back out for Dunn three point attempts? - SMH

Lue will never in a million years give playing time to a 19-year-old.

Time to break the mold. Lue gave KPJ the longest leash known to mankind. Never even reigned him in during his worst of all time worst stretches. Cam Christie or Flowers can't play through a few mistakes and get some run? Its whose allowed to make mistakes and who isn't when it comes to player development on this team.

This team needs to hit the reset button and the allstar break couldn't come soon enough. Hopefully the addition of Bogi can help boost our bench production after the break.

Good point. The trade deadline DOES mess with people's minds. And Kawhi is in this weird Twilight Zone where he's been cruising at 80-85% and feeling good, but the playoffs are still too far away to turn on the jets. He's got to be thinking about making it all the way through the postseason...for a change.

With 30 minutes a night missing from the rotation with KPJ and T-Mann gone, Ty is back at the drawing board. Ben Simmons, anyone? If Ben won't be Ben, I say let him be Reggie Evans!

I don't think the trade deadline or needing the all-star break is the culprit. This is the exact time of the year that last year's team started unraveling and never got it back. Our players are simply too old for a full season in today's NBA.
