Going to hope for a good game and win I'm more disappointed with Rosas right now than Saunders as for the state of the team, that said there, there is plenty of blame and work to go around for everyone to get better. Maybe Jmac can bring some energy to the squad. Would love to see Edwards and Culver be useful tonight too.

If Jmac plays well while Rubio is out, I could see them moving Ricky before the deadline.

We all love Rubio but you can’t pay a guy 17 million to miss the shots he is consistently.

That ten player thing reported again? wtf? Does he think he graduated to THibs level now and can pick a random number out of a hat and run games with it? Is there some kind of math that explains 10 as something more then divisible by 2 for two hockey lines of 5? What is this 10 player usage thing about? Does it fry too many brains if they slip an 11th onto the court? All it does is rule out any help if you find out 6 of your players didn't show up to play well. Oh sorry, they weren't in our planned 10 for the game, can't use them.

I know everybody loves Ricky, but.....
Hopefully they trade Ricky soon.
It would be great missing shots in other place.

He is not playing today.

I love Rubio but watching him miss wide open lay ups looks like a WNBA player.

All teams usually have a set number of guys in their rotation

RETURN OF THE MAC!!!!!!

Have a feeling J-Mac is going to have a big game today.As far as Rosas goes still think he's improved the roster in terms of talent and did unload the likes of Teague,Dieng & Wiggins which seemed like impossible things to do at the start of last season.My only issue with him is trying to go to much the Rockets/small ball route.If he bring in a qaulity big or two this season or in the offseason don't have a huge issue with him or believe he should be fired.

On the other hand Ryan Saunders needs to go ASAP.Still gut feeling but believe Taylor ham strong Rosas with him as he's still paying out on the Thibs deal.Never felt like Rosas & Saunders where or are on the same page.

I hope so. I already got my brother telling me he's a bust just like Culver and the wolves dropped the ball by bringing Rubio back in (who he never liked).

LOL Beasley with a block.

18-11
Hawks

Vando misses wide open layup over Trae Young

Hawks fast break transition 3 for Hunter

12-0 run.

I think as long as we are relying big on these young, inexperienced players, we are going to have issues. They just have too many mental gaps that pro teams can exploit. Naz, Vando, Edwards are skilled but when they make mistakes it messed the whole scheme up and teams exploit it all the time. We need more vets and reliability.

You mean good teams with players you can more rely on?

The team's record starting Reid has been epically bad. Another PF/Center should be brought in, should have already. Preferrably someone that could play either role.

Trae Young is struggling this season, he's going to be looking for tonic to fix his shooting percentages.
