They thought Willy could be a part of the future so he got the slight nod since Biz isn’t. But I think that will change as the season wains because I doubt JB wants to miss the playoffs this year.



Unfortunately JB will miss the playoffs this year. We have had a easy schedule so far with not many tough road games and we will be below .500 after tonight. We have lost 5 or 6 games already against bad teams. I expect this team to win no more than 33 to 38 games this year and not make the playoffs.

I won’t be a prisoner of the moment. Indeed this is a bad moment.

I just have a hard time believing that Detroit, Orlando, Washington (without Wall), or Brooklyn will leapfrog us like that. Those teams are struggling more than us and have scarce talent as well.

Brooklyn is on a tear. They're getting in

but its not like the East is some grinder when it comes to the playoffs. we'll get in and get smacked by the celtics or raptors.

This. How can they expect the young guys to play hard night after night when one of the vets is half assing it and still starting?

Miami definitely will likely jump us. I think it comes down to Brooklyn and Detroit being our competition for the 8 seed.

Only way we finish better than the 8 seed is if Kemba go on a crazy month long streak or something.

After the ASG, Kemba should just fake an injury. We gotta get a top 5 pick.

Borrego said he'd have to watch the tape before he can comment on Willy. Biz time.

He’s gone after this year unless we go streaking into a top 5 seed to trick him into taking less than the max.

As soon as we learned they had 2 road wins we all knew we would lose.

Didn't expect a complete ass kicking though.

We are now the trollnets

This loss was so embarrassing, I had to stop watching before halftime. I know two starters are injured, but let's hope it is the low point of the season.

Unfortunately JB is taking the same approach as Cliff which proved to be a failure last year. He is constantly playing the veterans major minutes and for the most part ignoring the need to develop the actual young talent. Anybody that watches these games can see that there should be no reason to start Batum or even play him more than 10 to 15 minutes a game. I am sure the coaches know this as well as the eyes don't lie. Batum does not care and is just collecting his check and probably laughing all the way to the bank. We are not making the playoffs and it is time that JB starts giving major minutes to the young guys win or lose.
