Really feels like I have watched the same game 3 times.

We get down early, claw our way back to a 1 score game several times, but then immediately give up a run back.

I don't care how bad our defense was last night, Houston didn't miss. When Jeff Green, Aaron Holiday and Dilllon Brooks shoot 7/7 from three combined you are probably losing that night.

He presumably wasn't cleared to fully practice during the summer since he still currently isn't cleared. Not being cleared to even practice this summer after that much time was at the very least a major red flag that he might not ever play again.

Its malpractice that the front office made no effort to have a backup plan. Its doubly annoying when you realize they could have had Thybulle at the last trade deadline, who would be perfect in Martin's role, but were just like "nahhh we good".

Defensive specialist SG is his actual position at least (definitely not PG). If they are going to get any value out of him it will be in the Cody Martin role.

Not saying its necessarily going to work out well, but if he plays it needs to be with LaMelo also on the court, or at least Maledon + Hayward or something. If Clifford actually puts the ball in his hands for any amount of time there isn't any reason to think that is going to work.
