So, 15-67 it is.


I agree if we had an average coach along the lines of JB. With Clifford I think we are really swimming upstream with the rotate off the corner 3 defense.

we really need to sign another big with both mark and pj out and thor being 150 lbs and terrible at basketball. if only we would have had an open roster spot wasted by an injured guy on an unguaranteed contract.

A guy like Chris Silva would be ideal (currently in the G) - not biggest guy but rebounds, is tough, and plays very good D.

Boots on the ground. Row 112 section G 1 and 2 if anyone happens to be here.

I’m getting major “McGowens injured in second quarter” vibes now.

You're a brave man. Might go to a few later in the season when tickets are dirt cheap. I like sitting close to the courtside seats when the team is bad for like 80 bucks lol. Makes me feel like a celebrity. Last time sat next to QCB from WFNZ haha

man Terry has that little slide to the left and shoot thing down. His long arms and legs make him look like a spider scooting off to shoot. And he nails it. Keeps the rhythm of the play while moving to the side.....beautiful thing

Watching jt thor miss 5 layups and get 5 offensive rebounds made my night. I'm sure that isn't the number but it felt like it.

Watching Alex Caruso play defense in person is amazing.

We choked massively in OT but NSJ is legit.

I'm glad to see Cliff is trusting him in crunch time. His play has almost demanded it.

LaVine of yesteryear makes that oop. He's looking a bit toasted.
