Except you won't be making $10. Half the board doesn't think we'll win 25 games. All good, thought I'd give you a chance. I'll be happy to take your money.

JI is back. If AG is going to get 30 minutes, than I think we will get to see the BIG lineup for a bit.

I heard they are pushing JI to the 2 spot, playing next to AG, Mo and Vuc
:0

In seriousness, after the Miami game, I'd just rather ride with the BIG as long as possible. Whatever it takes to keep Simmons off the floor.

I actually think we’ll see very little BIG.

I think Clifford’s rotation in the first preseason game with Gordon subbing out first for Simmons and Isaac sliding down to PF and then Gordon back in as the PF later on with the 2nd unit is really what he’s going to do in the regular season.

Augustin-Fournier-Isaac-Gordon-Vucevic
then
Augustin-Fournier-Simmons-Isaac-Vucevic
Then
Grant-Ross-Simmons-Isaac-Bamba
Then
Grant-Ross-Iwundu-Gordon-Bamba
Then
Augustin-Fournier-Iwundu-Isaac-Vucevic
Then
Back to the starting lineup

Something like that.

Almost surprising how little some of these guys know about the team they get paid to cover. He got the wrong guy, then butchered the wrong guy’s name lol.

That is bad, but at least I think Stokes DID play for memphis at one point.

Right. Jarnell Stokes did. Who he’s confusing with Jarell Martin. At least I’m assuming.

I’ll take the under as well and bet you 10 if you want it. This team won’t eclipse 30 wins.

Its probably more of an acronym so we dont have to type 3 names over and over.

At least, I want to think that.
