Biggest lost in NBA history was 79 points.

Yikes! Hopefully the second half isn't as embarrassing.

This shows how bad Lue is. The offensive structure doesnt exist. The defensive system is one of the worst designed hot pile of garbage have ever seen. Regularly Zubac or the center end up guarding a point guard at the 3 point line. Utter embarassing. The constant switching is lazy.

We will never win anything with Lue as the head coach.

Preston isnt an NBA point guard.

Not a fair assessment imo. Sure, I wish they were having a better showing but asking them to go against a stacked team isn’t right. Most of us who want Lue to play them more wants it with the guys who normally play. Boston has proven he can play with the main guys. Would love to see Preston and/or Diabate get the same chance.

Preston has been impressing me...I thought he had no foot speed, agility or anything to play in the NBA, but has been showing well so far to be deserving of a look as a backup

Maybe next year. If you recall, Preston missed all of last year. He has played only 23 games as a pro--12 in G-league and 11 in garbage time with the big club.

This is the old Backup Quarterback argument. Scrub X is as good or better than Major Leaguer Y. No way for you to prove your point and there is no way to disprove it.

But you can't "earn" your way out of the G-League because even the G-League MVP is an NBA scrub--if he's in the NBA at all.

I do think Boston has or had some trade value--as a prospect. But on the whole, nobody is languishing in the G-League. This isn't MLB--Boston and Preston are on the 15-man roster on full contracts. If anyone on an NBA contract can help the big club, they're already getting NBA minutes.

Saw this game coming.. at least didn't lose by 30 or 40. Anyway, good for the end of bench guys to get some run in the middle of a road trip.

Kawhi gonna have something for DeRozan and Chicago on Tuesday - no doubt...
