Eubanks with some bad plays in his minutes on the court.

Ugh we should be up by 6+. Just too many mental errors.

Why is it that JJ can never find decent point guards in free agency?

I agree on the PG point. Given missing one of the Big 3 in any one game wouldn't be unexpected, we could really use a table setter out there when 2 of the available Big 3 is on the bench.

Also why a guy like Bol Bol on an actual roster spot makes no sense to me

May depend on what we need though. Eubanks is a much better finisher/shooter/scorer, defender and rim protector while Nurk is a better passer and slightly better rebounder.

Man this couldn’t be further from the truth for tonight. Warriors basically went on their run soon as Eubanks got in.


Well, when our bench went in. Nurkic will obviously look better with our starters than Eubanks will with the bench, but if you switch it, it would probably be the other way around. We probably have the biggest dropoff from starters to bench in the league..maybe by a lot.

That 2nd unit got outrebounded badly. Saric looks stronger than Eubanks.

I am not sold on Eubanks as a backup C. Metu is more versatile.

CP3 also seems to be pushing things faster. Even though he refused to do that for us. Can't see him lasting too long if he keeps that up though.

There’s been no rim protection or rebounds with Eubanks so far either. Most offensive rebounds came after Nurkic left. Just had a good box out right now though.

Cp3 cannot get a shot off anymore. Hes got no lift or quickness left.

lol I guess that's one of the issues with having no PG, everyone is running up and no usual guy to outbound the ball to

Our defense is hot garbage.

The only way we are going to win is for the big 3 to just go crazy on offense.

Yeah, he hasn't played well tonight.
