PG: BBQ era Begins

[Chandan]

Why is Scottie only good in 4th quarters?

it has happened too often for it to be some sort of coincidence. Which means he's doing it on purpose. I am sure there's some thoughts behind it though.

4th Q Barnes is ridiculous. Darko needs to tell him every Q.is the 4th.

Quickley played a great all-around game despite some missed shots. Barrett with another efficient masterpiece. .

GTJ will see a bigger role now, and he made shots. This style of play and the new personnel should really open up things for him.

Dick actually looked like a lottery pick. Nice stroke, some great passes. Hopefully, this continues.

Looks we found at worst, a.backup C. Porter has stepped up big lately.

Fun game. Win or lose, at least we will be entertained with all young blood.

Need more help in the frontcourt.

Need to combine Thad and Otto into a stretch big

Yeah this is where I'd like to see the Thad / Otto / Temple contracts used

Oh my... a balanced team.

If the team does well, I can only imagine the sheer amount of disapoointed "fans" here.

Disappointed because they missed out on an opportunity to add another long-term piece to the young core and our future hangs on the balance of blind faith in FO's ability to make miracles happen with late picks of a weak draft when they've fumbled almost every aspect for a while now.

They say every year draft is weak.Cmon

[mtcan]

Barnes, Barrett, Quickley, a bunch of 1sts and some tradeable assets.

All of a sudden we've turned it around.

I'm kind of hoping we can grab another established young player with some of those picks. No idea who tho.

Keldon?

Ok...stop feeding the Spurs all of our draft picks!!!

1. Whip it to Trent behind the arc.
2. Trent catch n shoot no hesitation.

Trent Jr's gotta be well over 50% in this scenario.

[ForeverTFC]

Raps just beat a healthy Heat team well into the luxury tax this year with our young core while missing our starting C.

They were missing JJJ. He's been huge for them this season.

Dude we were missing Poetl and Siakam. Miami doesn't have excuses, they just didn't show up to play.

I was just commenting on the assertion that Miami was healthy. It was a good win and of course we were more short handed than they were.

There were a lot of good (or even great) things about tonight, but I can't get over what Darko did to Gradey lol. He played so well in his first stint then after a couple of rookie mistakes – one of which just being a rookie then getting called for a weak offensive foul – Darko benched him early in the 4th until garbage time. He's been doing it all season and it's why we've rarely seen Gradey for more than 4-5 minutes at a time then nothing until the game is practically over. He did a similar thing to Quickley and Porter tonight too (and Barrett in other recent games) opting to play Thad and Schroder down the stretch and for nearly 30 minutes each over the course of the game. Similarly, he has benched Boucher for a mistake or two on several occasions this season. I don't care as much about Boucher getting benched on these occasions, but it leaves a bad taste in my mouth when some young guys gets benched for a bad play or two.

Dick was good, wish he got more burn.

Change is good. Time to move forward.

Happy to see Gradey out there having fun

There's something there with GTJ. Even after slumping all season he's still shooting close to 40% from 3.

He's not going to be a big time scorer, but he can still score when called upon and he's a valuable floor spacer. Even if Gradey hits his potential I can't see him being better than GTJ. I like GTJ fit with our young guys.

He’s really bad and should be sold high on. Preferably immediately considering the game he had today.

What are we gonna get for an expiring Trent... one or max 2 2nd rounders? Rather just keep him and hope him starting with Barnes unlocks him.

[LoveMyRaps]

Murray buzzer beater on Orlando hurts.

We need Orlando to start winning and move past the Pacers.

If the team starts winning how do you call it fumbling?

How do you not call the things they've done outside OG trade since last season's deadline fumbling? What else do you call it? F'ing up?

But if they start winning how is it fumbling or **** up?

Yeah, but they are 16-25, aren't they? I feel pretty safe in saying they f*ed up. They would have to start winning a lot more games than they lose for that to change. And that still wouldn't change the fact that they f*ed up Siakam situation and couldn't add a single meaningful piece to the core.

"Lewis"
"Nwora"

Nwora is a career 38% 3p shooter. He's like a better Jalen Harris, he's great depth.

Lewis....

Kobe used to do that. Spread the ball around for the first 3 quarters to get his teammates going, then took over in the 4th.
