WCJ and Goga is a lot of size for them, but we're not going to be able to compete against them without Paolo and Franz. Expecting a loss, maybe we can give Jett some more playing time if its a blowout.

There’s a reason a lot of people weren’t worried about him displacing AB/Jett/TDS too much when he was signed in the offseason.


True.

I think if healthy he is taking Jetts minutes though.


Very possible. Truthfully, I expected him to be sitting out intentionally to share minutes, but seems like he’s genuinely hurt.

I wonder how much positive impact guys like him, Isaac and WCJ are having on Paolo and Franz’s rehabs? They are experts in extensive rehab and maintaining a competitive spirit in those times.

Not that it matters much with Weltman but you do need tradeable contracts to make trades and Gary has one of those.

Just make a good account of yourselves, tough to try and beat the #1 team in the west even if we're at home... Only thing I'm looking for tonight is better execution, you had time to practice

Not a game that's possible for us to win by grinding through awful shooting and high turnovers. We'll need a good offensive performance too. We will need to keep turnovers low (12 is a low number and a tough ask, but I think it's what we'll need), and make 15+ threes on 35% or better.

That's a tall order for this current group but I think that's just the reality of this game in front of us tonight. And those numbers are just a starting point to get us in the ballgame.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

This crap again. We get no calls going to the basket, and they get touch fouls

Da Silva couldn't see Suggs wide open?
