PG: Good Game, Acceptable Loss 

Post#1 » by Tha Cynic » Thu Feb 29, 2024 2:58 am

Doncic and Jokic are probably the most fun players in the league to watch, even if you do want to punch the grin off Doncic's face.

Played them even other than that one stretch where Barnes sat in the 3rd.

Good game overall. Need more Ochai and Boucher and less Brown please.

The Siakam trade is looking worse and worse by the day my goodness

Nwora is straight garbage and brown only looked good cuz of jokic. We got absolutely fleeced

This stretch is the best this team has looked all season, even in this loss they played the Mavs pretty tough.

Bruce Brown is trash...we need to stop playing him to keep his value up in the summer.

I ain’t debating that, I’m just saying we got close to 0 value for our all nba player. Hope one of the picks amount to something :noway:

Darko got outcoached, these guys were on a b2b. We let Kyrie and Luka rest on defence, that's inexcusable, these guys had energy on offence. Defence is tiring these 3 guys were coasting out there on defense, bad strategy by Darko.

Sent a ridiculous amount of double teams on Luka and left everybody else open. Next time just let Luka get his.

Barnes really needs to get that jumper back.

No D, that was the story. We hung with them for the most part. We got beat by a better team, it is what it is.

Felt Dick and Ochai should have played more. Brown is awful.

I am still loving these guys.

Bruce brown being the new Schroeder is definitely a thing, now that the team is starting to play better brand of basketball you can clearly see that Gary and bruce are the weakest links, Darko giving agbaji a short leash and letting bruce **** up as much as he wants is a bit concerning

He was salary filler smh.

The return so far is Olynuk, Obaghi, two firsts, and whatever we get for Brown or his capspace.

What a disingenuous clown take.

Not sure why you're so fixated on Brown... It was always about the 3 picks, Brown & Nwora were just salary... The hope was being able to re-route Brown at the deadlinev for a pick/young piece, but maybe his salary made it tough to match.

Yeah he has sucked here, still they went all in to be 9-9 since depending on tonight's game against the Pels.

If we really hate him and wanna cut ties we can just decline his option. He's not signed for another 3 years.
