Honestly I struggle to think of a NBA team that would give real minutes to our bench guys. Like we play Malachi Flynn real minutes man lmao I dont think itd be an exaggeration to say hes the worst back up PG in the NBA and Achuiwa is right behind him for worst center.

No they wouldn't be playing. The FO is forcing Darko to play them and see what they have with them. They are realizing they wouldnt fetch a bag of potatoes in the open market

The frustrating thing about Flynn for me is bench guards are the most dime a dozen player type to find in the trade market + FA why are we wasting what is now 4 years on a guy (who wasnt a Bruno level project mind you) who was a 4 year college player? Look at the contracts guy like Monk and DeLon got and tell me we couldnt find a Flynn replacement in 4 years lol

It's one of the biggest single fails of this FO the past few years, one of several. And like you say it would have been a simple fix, and for such a glaring need.

The other frustrating part is that even the biggest Masai bashers don't care about that pick. It was the 29th pick after a 53-win season where we finished 2nd overall. I don't think anyone in their right mind was expecting us to nail that pick. We clearly didn't, so just move on already.

They are only playing him cuz they think Nurse did nothing with him for 3 years but Nurse seems to be right. It's all FO's ego

Yeah it's not the pick of Flynn it's the failure to get a veteran guard after that

Take heart in the struggles of Golden State. Similarly 8-10, just blew a 24 point lead to the Kings. They are paying the luxury tax and Chris Paul just got hurt.

They may go into desperation mode soon. I'd love to get Podz and Moody and Wiggins/Paul for Pascal and Precious. Something along that line.

Poole was another level, but Kuminga and Precious deserve to be a WWE tag team.

Bruh - Rockets vs. Nuggets again? Baby Jokic vs Jokic again????? I mean I'm not complaining. The future vs. the present is elite entertainment.

Worth noting - this is the 3rd meeting between the two sides in a span of two weeks. They play again, for a fourth time, next week.

This Magic team are killing thus far this season.

Crazy scheduling.

Denver announcers at halftime, show a clip of Murray tweaking his ankle, then tightens his shoe and stays in the game. He's a hockey player, they said.

Cade was -33 in 23 minutes.... bruh (Second worst +/- was Ausar -21)

Maybe Cade is the problem.

Clippers lack offensive chemistry. Just take turns isoing with some drive and kicks for threes

Fox a real 2 way player, guarded Steph last night, Harden tonight. Kings announcers emphasizing how rare it is for an offensive star to also guard the best opponent

Cade also 15 points on 15 shots. The inefficiency continues.

I am not joking when I say Monty is going to be sitting on the panel of an NBA pre/post game show in a couple of years, while getting paid the final 40M+ from the Pistons.
