SGA vs Melo... fun matchup.
Fingers crossed DSJ returns.

Richards upgraded to questionable. Enjoyed the glimpses of Mark.

Re: Gt: Charlotte vs OKC 12/29 7PM
Certainly cliff wouldn't bench mark, right?
Certainly Mitch doesn't want Mark benched, right?
Certainly nick doesn't deserve to get benched, right?
Positively no way Mason is getting benched.
Only one solution, trade Mason, see what you have with Nick, Mark and kai.
But cliff always errs towards the vets, so expect to see Mark out of the rotation again, until another injury happens or until Mitch wakes up from hibernation and starts making deals.

Re: Gt: Charlotte vs OKC 12/29 7PM
Williams will probably play and he will have a nice game considering what they are missing in the frontcourt

Steve Clifford says Mark Williams will be the primary backup center tonight, even if Nick Richards is available to play

its unfair to nick, who deserves minutes, but i'm happy for mark. his ceiling is obv much higher and we have much more invested.

I'm going to momentarily pause my complaining since they are probably focused on the Miles situation right now, but once that gets resolved they HAVE to make some moves.

I'm real surprised that Mark is getting the nod here.

Re: Gt: Charlotte vs OKC 12/29 7PM
I feel sorry for Nick. Dude worked his ass off to be a pretty damn good backup. As solid as Mason has been its time to move on from him.

Re: Gt: Charlotte vs OKC 12/29 7PM
Maybe they're being careful with Nick given the injury. Logjam needs resolving still.

Re: Gt: Charlotte vs OKC 12/29 7PM
Mark Williams seems good. His awareness and comfort level on offense is impressive. His presence at the rim sucks in defenders and he can have Gobert like effect on team offense if surrounded with shooters. His defense isn't as far along and will need some refinement, but the tools are there.
I'm not convinced he isn't just flat out the best center on the roster right now. I wonder how long Clifford would have had him buried in Greensboro if there weren't any injuries/trades?

Buzzer beater. Shocker.

Mark looking great and Melo too. But the tank commanders Oubre and Rozier are doing their duty.
