Yeah, let's cancel out Mann's defense by putting in our absolute worst defender when we're already getting blown out. That's the ticket.

Lue will probably blame Mann for our inability to get stops and that will be his excuse to bench him like RoCo.

Lue is drawing names out of a hat right now.

Drawing names out of a hat would sadly be an improvement over Lue's rigid "veteran privilege, unless you're RoCo" rotations.

Bones playin too good. He’s about to get that gorilla glue treatment that RoCo has.

Hyland single handedly keeping us in the game

February 6:

Simply put, the plus-10.2 Jokic lineups are performing meaningfully better than the best team in the league, the Phoenix Suns at plus-8.8, while the minus-15.9 non-Jokic (which is to say, bench) lineups are doing drastically worse than the lowest-ranked Detroit Pistons at minus 9.9.

And Reggie is an ok backup PG but he's not John Havilcek. Gotta out-depth them tonight.

Cool. Crawling back in vs the Nuggets' depth now. Hey, Denver has the best starting 5 in the NBA and we were out there with another pickup team in Russ + our backup center.

Powell and Hyland killin' it.

PG at the five, what can go wrong.

esqtvd · Post #47 » by **esqtvd** » Mon Feb 27, 2023 3:55 am

PG = 7 minutes, 0 points, 0 rebounds, 1 assist, minus-17

let's hope his second stint goes a little better ;-)

Lue is literally just rehashing all the old lineups that didn't work, but we're going to have to hear that he's "experimenting" and "tinkering." Those are just euphemisms for bad coaching.

He needs to get that back board shot out of his head from 2020. Before I left to eat Kawhi didn't seem to be doing well either

Not watching game currently but I take it is not going well? PG is fantastic when he is kept in his role but we keep trying to put him in roles he is not good in.

It's actually infuriating that he's still insisting on pretending to be a point guard after he made us sign yet another one of his friends so he wouldn't do that anymore. Just so disrespectful to the front office and his teammates.

Just gotta keep within striking distance.

I was screaming my TV on Friday when he would bring it up the court and have Russ camp in the corner like a spot up shooter. PG has a history of doing or saying strange things lol.

Could be worse but at least they showed some life in the 2nd.

ejftw · Post #57 » by **ejftw** » Mon Feb 27, 2023 4:13 am

Man, it feels like a 20 point deficit

playaloc916 · Post #58 » by **playaloc916** » Mon Feb 27, 2023 4:13 am

Well, it could be worse... "only" down by 8.

And what's up with Jokic's arms... he looks like he's been in a barbwire wrestling match lol

LamarWho · Post #59 » by **LamarWho** » Mon Feb 27, 2023 4:19 am

8 pt game, after a disastrous start, i'll take it. 2nd unit played well for us, especially bones.

Need more from PG in the 2nd half. The rebounding machine with 0 boards again.

Pretty sure he is one of the most disrespected players in the league by the refs. Honestly should take advantage of that.

Okay only down 8 let's keep it up.
