No idea why deadman plays. Just kills the team game after game on both ends, shooting, turnovers, rebounding, defense. Anything but him, come on. Bring up Mika, even play Harry before Bagley comes back. Just stop with Dewayne

Giles was awful today. He's so far away from NBA level player right now and won't be due to his healthy limitations.

Besides Buddy's hot hand our offense was so ugly. 20 seconds halfcourt dribble without any idea and heroic shot in heavy traffic at the end of 24. And the last posession as an apotheosis...

I’m not a fan of Giles, and don’t question why we didn’t pick up his contract. So I agree

I wanted to bring in another player, but didn’t know our hands may have been tied with roster spaces

Maybe I’d go small then, as Dedmon can’t reboubd anyways

Tough fought game, Buddy got it rolling and got his first 40 point game. That last play was pretty poorly designed, all five guys were on the same side of the floor, there was no spacing at all. Luke has been hit or miss with the ATOs, he's drawn up some good ones but that last play was a head scratcher.

Also, Justin James is an NBA player. I really like his game, super active defender and has a good feel for the game. If he finds a consistent jump shot, which I think he can do, he has a chance to be a prime-Ariza type role player.

I'll probably have time to watch the game tonight. My only question: how does Bogi get the last shot over Buddy? Bogi shot 5-20 AND Buddy was open coming off the screen!

If I remember correctly, there was probably only a second left before a 5 second call. I don’t think buddy was open. I could be wrong but I remember him standing in the middle of the paint and the play looked extremely discombobulated.

Could really have used that win.
