Can we get Rubio back? He would be the perfect PG with this roster.


Sorry, but Ricky isn't ever coming back. He said so.

So my one takeaway from this game is, "who gave the ok to let Ant back onto the floor" after he was deemed out for the rest of the game?

I understand he might not be "injured" but given how any little tweak can bother him and how the game was snowballing at that point, I would've left him out.

This staff is really starting to show a lack of common sense in my mind. While I'm not the one to call for ppl jobs, risking further injury to your future franchise player is ridiculous to me. It's one thing to allow a player to play through the pain for a sprained ankle but the hip is no joke.

We definitely don't want an IT situation on our hands going forward. I say let him sit a game or two and see how he responds. We already know Ant plays through pain but this is different.

Great point. I think that showed how much power Ant has in the organization

Anthony Edwards absolutely should have sat the past two games. That was an opportunity for him to get a full week of rest, and they squandered it. Schedule isn’t as generous, moving forward.

This was my takeaway as well.

We have a lot of talent, and Rudy is looking more comfortable every game. However, SloMo is like our grown up. He keeps the kids on task and focused.

It’s crazy how no teams in the west have a winning record on the road.

Don't forget about Prince. I feel like his injury completely shifted the mood and momentum, even though he returned to the game later. We were up 19-11 when he rolled his ankle.

Says a lot about inept management and possibly a coach feeling the seat getting hotter. If it ends up making things much worse for Ant, like to the point it derails his trajectory. It will set back this franchise for years upon years. We haven’t had someone like Ant since KG. Not Love, Not Rubio, Not KAT, Not Wiggins.

We need to get a wing.

Agree with most of the stuff. Except Prince needs to learn how to take care of himself. If we complain about AD injury prone, I can't remember when was the last time I could count on Prince being there.
