McDaniels making sure to miss his final two FTs to make sure we can't win our side contest.

no. It was a winnable game if we had a real game coach.

2 way Wiggins. We saw that maybe 2-3 times a year.

Great effort but some bad shooting (at least Ant got to the line). Bad night for Naz. Rubio, Culver, and Okogie give you nothing as far as scoring. Cant say enough good things about JMac.

Defense I’m not so sure about.


He shows signs. Too much of a rookie right now. The big question is whether there is anyone with this team that can help him achieve his best. Had a great dunk early on. Was that over Wiseman? Later had a determined drive from a long ways out and just beelined through everyone to finish under rim nicely. Otherwise he struggled going finesse around rim. His 2pt jumpers were all off tonight.

Is a bunch of nothing right now between Okogie - Culver - Edwards

The so praised wing rotation is pretty much non-existent.

And all of this to get 3 PG's, 4/5 wings.
And then a bunch of scrubs in the bigs rotation.

Better yet, a roster full of guards that can't shoot.

And how the hell that after 3 games and a bunch of pre season games people were already claiming that Edwards was better than rookie Wiggins? He's not even close.

Rubio had 11 assists while playing with Vando and Okogie at same time.
Props to Beasley man, he showed up tonight. Jmac too...

I'm so mad at Ryan rotations. But man, this roster that Rosas put together is a **** joke.

How is McLaughlin on a 2-way?

That's Rosas' claim to fame as a POBO. Rosas won the leverage over his own previous two way player in FA. Give him a medal.


Ask the rest of the league why they let Rosas get away with it.

Start Ant next game, we're gonna lose any way, might as well get him in the starting lineup now.

After friday, hopefully we get KAT back and can finish off the first half of the season strong..so unfortunate that we lose him to a wrist injury, then covid right after. Insane

It is definitely an indictment on the rest of the league. If I am Rosas, the McLaughlin contract is on my resume bold and underlined.

It’s amazing this team could score over 100. 6-24 shooting from our starting Point and Center. Night and day offensive production when JMac comes in.

how about no?

JMac, Beasley, McDaniels, Vando, Reid. Go beat this beatable Warriors team.

JMac and McDaniels only play when Curry does. They come off when he does. Curry won't score 20..

My only concern is Green. He was jazzing up his bench to go get physical out there and they did and the refs allowed everyone else to besides dropping some fouls on Green.

The the rest of the current starters off bench this next game. Wiggins will give the team fits if he plays like that again. He seems to have grown up quite a bit already. But he's still not goingg to be good enough to care.

I just want McDaniels to start over Okogie. He is way better than him right now

Ya, Okogie (with the long arms and all) don't cut it. I love the guys heart but he is not an NBA starter. He knows his role and we should leave it at that.

McL, McD, and JV are proving themselves more worthy game by game. It should make minutes harder to come by, so hopefully, the competition pushes these players. Might have seen a little of that last night.

I agree Beasley's effort and overall performance has been solid.

Fortunately we have good reason (due to performance) to start realigning the rotation a bit as we get KAT and DLo back ... some players will see more pt and some less. The way it should be.

We have 3 players (Beasley/McD/JV) who are trending the right direction. KAT remains the #1 dude. We need figure out how to bring along 4 more contributors to solify an 8-man rotation. DLo ... McL? ... Rubio? ... Ant? ... Okogie/Culver? ... Where did Nowell go? As soon as he played well he disappeared.

On Rosas' resume? Right uner the players title as 4th string DNP unless injury need?
