Honestly, at this point I think I'd cut back the Randle/DDV minutes and give some of the non-rotation guys a chance.

Remember how excited we were for this deep roster, Finch has killed all the excitement in less than 20 games.

Conley, DDV, and Dillingham combine to go 0-7 on 3s with 5 TO. The team needs to get something out of the PG minutes in the second half.

At some point I hope Finch starts to apply some accountability to guys who are playing terrible. There are a bunch of guys on the bench who would love to play and deserve a chance when the regulars are stinking up the court.

Re: Game 18: Sacramento at Minnesota (8-9), 8 pm
Finch is Adelman and will never play the young guys unless he's forced to and Ant is looking more like JR smith now. I was glad to be proven wrong last year but without a true #2 he's turned into JR. Low basketball IQ but can get very hot or cold. I started to watch this team for entertainment and then for the comradery... don't like any of you enough to deal with this sht.

Starting to play with some life in the 3rd.
From a fundamental standpoint it is better for a man to have nothing but be under the protection of Jesus Christ than for him to have everything he could ever want yet be completely without.

Conleys shot mechanics look off and he's getting blown by on the defensive end. I know we need him, but we need him healthy. You'd have a hard time convincing me he is right now.

I think he's healthy, I just think he's old. He would be best served coming off the bench now. Really at this point, might not start Dillingham. If he starts off hot, let him go. If he's struggling you can always go to Mike for a bit and then get him back out there. The fact is if Dillingham isn't ready, you need to trade for another point guard. At least if your plan is to make the playoffs and have any type of chance.

I don't want Ant get any rebounds because very time Ants gets one, he just race down the court and take a shot. I never seen Ant take so many bad shots. It's frustrating, maybe we should trade him and rebuild.

Good effort on the 3rd. Hope the effort not getting kill by Randle or ANT playing hero ball.

That's the first stretch I can remember where Randle impacted the defense in a positive way.

If Conleys gonna get worked on defense you have no downside to starting to give Dilly as many minutes as he (and the team) can handle.

3 straight possessions with a turnover is not a good way to start the 4th quarter.
