Already third game against Charlotte. Weird Scheduling quirk. Could potentially be a winnable game. Hopefully Bilal balls out.

Avdija is questionable with a non-Covid illness.

Let's start the Poole as points off the bench experiment this game. I don't care if they start Shamet, Davis, or Kispert, but let's try something else and see if we can get the starters at least playing as a team.

Gallinari. Just trade him or buy him out. No serious contender will give us a box of cracker jacks for this sieve. He chucks up too many questionable shots too.

We finally get rid of Beal and now we have to watch Poole be a clown without consequence. Sigghhh.

Good first half. Only complaint is why did Bilal only play 8 and a bit minutes. He played quite well I thought.

Every time I think 'oh Poole made a good play, he might be figuring things out', he just does something stupid the following 2 possessions

Kispert, Gallo, Poole, Shamet together on court are an abomination defensively…Meanwhile where is Bilal?

Like last game, the Poole-Shamet-Kispert-Deni-Gallinari lineup to start the 4th sucks... I genuinely think it's the tanking lineup wuj uses if he thinks we could win the game

WUJ doing his Deni hate again in a crucial part of the game.

Doesn't have the guts to bench Poole.
