is there any reason to watch? i mean i will, but i cant blame anyone for tuning out until next year. team isnt good, isnt fun to watch, and no youth worth watching out of curiosity... unless they start playing kai, mark and bryce. i dont need to see bouk. maybe ever again. i'm 99.9% done with him.

Gordon upgraded to questionable

Hayward is playing tonight. I wouldn't be surprised if Melo is out a month.

The worst thing about Clifford is how boring he makes everything. Its why I go beyond just thinking hes not a good coach and basically go doomer mode when hes the coach here. Ineffective and dreadfully boring coaching style, no creativity, won't play underdeveloped players unless he has to and doesn't bother trying to develop them, and his teams almost always still end up being bad anyways. There just nothing to get excited about. Its basically the worst possible fan experience and such a bummer imo.

The team wasn't going to be good this year regardless, but a lot of the things making this team so pointless to watch are the result of deliberate choices by Clifford.

1st quarter was dreadful, but we looked halfway decent in the 2nd. Kai did some good things, boxed out well too. Gordo looks super rusty. If we weren't getting good PJ and Oubre games we'd be in a deep hole.

The more I watch James Bouknight the more I think he would have made a great lolcat.

Fun watch. It's kinda nuts how good we could be when fully healthy, you can see how the pieces would work but it just doesn't seem like we'll get there.

This game reminded me of that Kemba Philly game where he had like 50 and we still lost.

The results haven't been there but it's hard to fault the effort of our guys this season. The injury gods dealt us a bad hand but haven't yet broken the team's will.
