Spread is -12.5. We've been playing well but this is a far better team than the one's we've just faced.

Deepest team we've faced in a long, long time. They're going to crush our bench.

Even if Nick Smith Jr. pops off for 50 wearing his new starter suit, we can't overcome the bench handicap.

(though that would be fun).

Our first look at Edey vs the Hornets. Who was the poster that wanted us to take Edey in the draft? I would've been fine with that and it would've been far better than taking Salaun lol

We will see tonight the benefits of hitting on draft picks outside the top 3. And on our roster, the downside of missing on those draft picks.

They really do always seem to have a nice collection of talents.

We have missed 3 layups that should have been automatic already, need to wake up.

I turned the game on with a few minutes left in the 1st and it felt like Diabate was all over the court for that few minutes.

The talent gap between these two teams is huge.

Memphis is playing more physical on both ends and yet we are getting called for ticky tack illegal screens and LaMelo touching a guy. Meanwhile Jaylen Wells is slamming into our guys on both ends and if he falls its a fouls on us.

We are trying to play too fast and get back into this one all at once, not good. But you can see we are frustrated with the way the game is flowing on both ends.

Putting Mark on a guard so he can cherry pick is kind of funny tbh

Top 3 or bust.


Trade the pick if we can't get Flagg/Harper/Bailey
