Might as well tank for a Center

I understand Luka being out. The guy is clearly injured and putting him out there probably does more harm then good.

I don't understand Kyrie being out. Most players are probably dealing with foot soreness at this point in the season and it seems more of a made-up injury to accommodate a personal issue. This is a very important game, he should be there.

You are right about the second paragraph. Welcome to what Nets and Celtics both had to deal with. I read the reason he was out and had to come and post this.

I 100% agree with you and see this coming. Clearly there's higher priority than basketball on Kyrie's mind.

Calm down, not everything is a somekind of a conspiracy.

Kyrie's close friend died so he went to the funeral but was back in time for the game. Problem is, he's not 22yo anymore, he's 30 with history of various injury problems. He is actually a game-time decision for tonight.

Christian Wood explodes for 30 points in 12 minutes and sits the entire fourth quarter.

More seriously... will be interesting to see the minutes distribution after the "hot hand" comments from the previous game.

Ok Dirk, it's time to come clean. How many drinks have you got today so far? :lol:

Fixed.

Falling below .500 would be super depressing at this point in the season.

Iriving-Out
Wood-Questionable
Below .500 -In

Hopefully we can steal this one. Grizzlies have been pretty bad on the road while we've been good at home.

Archx · Post #19 » by **Archx** » Mon Mar 13, 2023 11:57 pm

Instead of developing Hardy over the year, Kidd prefered to play Frank.

Maverick41 · Post #20 » by **Maverick41** » Mon Mar 13, 2023 11:58 pm

We can't just give the ball to Hardy and hope he makes something out of nothing every possession as if he were Luka or Kyrie. He's been sizzling so far and its awesome to see but relying on a rookie completely is not right. It's a broken record at this point but where is the offensive creativity from the coaching staff. There's more to basketball then just isos and PnRs.
