A lot of people are going to be sorely disappointed when Khris Middleton on crutches isn't the answer...

He feels good. Just not good enough to play.

I’ll dump this tweet in the postgame thread also.

I hope we are at rock bottom here. This has been rough

Dame/Delon/Ajax/Prince/Giannis lineup is the only lineup that looked competitive out there.

Trade Brook and Bobby

Why can't Lillard/Giannis be playing like Ja/Edey on offense?

Morant is way better than dame and Giannis doesn’t set screens or move without the ball

Even older man Chris Paul can throw lobs tho.

Middleton has gotten used to making millions while getting free hotels and court side seats. No reason to play.

Ryan Dunn would have been great

Couldn't POSSIBLY play Marjon over Pat C. Need to fill the slow and worthless quota.

"That's all" is hilarious. Well enough to play is kind of the whole thing, Khris.

Even our scrubs suck compared to other scrubs.

Relying on players who are constantly sitting out is not the answer for any team in the NBA. Eventually organizations will realize that even if it's an MVP caliber player, you cannot build a team around someone who isn't available to play the vast majority of regular season games. Teams never develop chemistry, and they moreso they never develop a serious attitude because in their heads they all are thinking "we aren't even whole yet, wait til so and so comes back". That means that those teams will routinely give up at the first sign of adversity. And by the time their star guy comes back "healthy" a bunch of other players are banged up too so they never get to play with the whole team and then the guy is out again.

Clippers, 76ers, any team Durant has been on post GS, us with Middleton, etc. It does not matter, if your guy can't play the vast majority of regular season games you cannot build around them and you're better off trading them. The old adage about you don't trade a dollar for 4 quarters does not apply with guys who are always injured. They are being overvalued consistently and teams haven't yet figured this out. It's only exacerbated when the players are on huge contracts/not the rookie deal as they handicap the team from making moves around them too.

Which is why we had no chance at him. Horst likes to get cute with his picks.
