I am glad Dick is the tank commander right now, but he really needs to improve over the summer or he will be lucky to get Boucher minutes next year.

Are you sure you're not talking about Jamal Shead? He was doing Jontay Porter stuff tonight.

Dick was -22. I am glad we lost but not sure I can keep pushing the he is great narrative. He is young and can still end up being great but he has to improve by next year.

I mean he can improve his defence gradually and become a decent defender long term, doesn't need to happen right away. We're also nothing special next year, despite Masai's 2 year Brandon Ingram plan.

He will be a bench guy next year. Better role for him.

Dick sucks but he's a good tank commander. Also, why can't Ja'Kobe get more creation opportunities? He looks better than Dick. He was a -4 while Dick was a -22.

We can put Walter on the best perimeter player while we have to hide Dick. That's a huge difference on the defensive end.

RJ and IQ played a lot better in the second half. But it's clear both guys need Scottie to take the pressure off them. Having Ingram will help RJ & IQ even more.


I'm kind of concerned about Gradey because his defensive lapses are mind-boggling. I'm not even sure how much you can improve your defensive IQ. He's a total liability on that end of the floor. Needs to watch a ton of tape this off-season and be smarter moving forward.


Solid game from Mogbo. Looked good on both ends of the floor.


Not an ethical loss by any means because we sucked tonight but a loss is a loss so I'll take it.

Dick has to either improve defensively and hit the open 3's more consistently or I feel he's the type of player you toss in the game when you are down 20 and hope he's hot from 3. Keep resting Scottie and Give Poetl more rest.

Agbaji was given up by his team in his second season. And now some of you giving up on Dick his second season saying Agbaji should get his minutes even though most of us want a high pick. Make it make sense for me. He needs to get stronger and adapt to the speed of the NBA. Can he do it? Ask me next season.

And I'm still laughing at that foul against RJ when Booker ran into his elbow. That was jokes.

Darko didn't call a timeout after Boucher got an elbow?
Feels like a game mandate to lose.

Poeltl was cooked in space in that first half. He was targeted on switches. Five out teams nullify him.
