IDK why Azubuike is on street clothes for the last two games.

Right! That guy>>Eubanks.Easy!

Dwight's watching at home begging for a chance at the NBA. He's worked with Vogel before, why not give him a 10 day and see how it goes.

Don't see much upside with Eubanks. He's too small, unskilled and not a smart player. Might be time to cut our losses

I remember that crazy game where he hit 11 threes against the Suns.

He's shooting under 40% and 25% from 3. That's great scoring?

The numbers don't always tell the whole story as we both know. He's been pretty instrumental in their runs and we keep letting him get into easy position to make shots. And it sure seems like he has a lot more than just 11 points.

8/8 to start the 2nd half.

We just need to rebound better, too many offensive boards for them.

We really do just suck. All3 guys back and losing to a completely underhanded terrible Grizzlies team

That requires effort. We don't effort

57% shooting to their 48% and we trail by a point. You guys don’t see anything wrong with this?

SkyBill40 · Post #48 » by **SkyBill40** » Mon Jan 8, 2024 2:39 am

There's lots wrong with how we're playing. LOTS.

Yet another game where we will have to play all our starters late in the 4th.

Man, I miss Bismack Biyombo. I'd take him over Eubanks right now. I was hopeful they'd bring him back as he seemed to really enjoy playing here.

Best 3 minutes of the season

I feel like Bismack would be misused here though. He can't be in a mini Nurkic role. I think Bol Bol fits better than both as our backup 5 because he's comfortable dribbling at a level the others are not.

His energy / effort would be impactful though on this team. We need guys to play hard. I think Azubukie and Lee help in that regard.

Eubanks finished well a great lob pass from Book. Play of the game.

We’re the only team in NBA history who can’t settle on a 8-9 man rotation after 35 games of being played. This is unprecedented! Every game we have new guys inserted into the lineup I can barely keep up.

Another 4th quarter meltdown. KD is out there and he's better than anybody on the court, and he just sucks as a leader so he goes through the motions while we half ass it around him.

Grizzlies Broadcast said Suns lost 7 leads in the 4th quarter when leading after 3.
Time to go for 8.

This team couldn't hold a lead in a pick up game against RGMers. FFS.

Also when you have 3 stars you should have 2 on the court at all times. No reason we cannot stagger that way. We are getting obliterated by Ziare Williams, Marcus Smart, Bismack, and a dude I've never heard of

It's because we have the worst role players in the league. A turd in any color is still a turd.

Now we're angry pouting and lunging trying to draw fouls and turning it over left and right. Nurkic needs to be benched. He's throwing a tantrum and handing the ball to the other team.
