NSJ played fine but they just kept picking on our smallest player.

Should've gone to Miles earlier. Micic just gives the defense too much time to react.

It should be said he’s the king at this, but the yelling and jinxing opponents is annoying. That’s all. His energy is great.

This franchise might be cursed. Burn the arena down and move the franchise to Raleigh.


My gf got us tickets to the Spurs game here for Christmas and I might just drop the team till then. Rooting for this team just straight up sucks
Atleast you get to see wemby though.

I told her I appreciated the gift but that theres a very very good chance she could have gotten the tickets she got probably 90% less than she paid by just waiting for Wemby and Melo to be injury scratched before the game lol. I was told I was being too negative, so yeah I get the same comments at home I do on real gm :lol: There’s no false hope or expectations here though, I’ve been following this team long enough now. I’m expecting a fun night watching Okogie and Jeffries battling Keldon Johnson and Julian Champagnie

So back to Mark getting absolutely cooked in that first quarter by Anthony Davis. Mark picks up that early foul a couple of minutes into the game. The next Lakers possession anthony Davis went at Mark and Mark basically just moved out of the way and gave him the layup in a clear effort not to pick up a second foul so early in the first quarter. Now Lebron and ad being smart vets saw that and immediately made a mental note. The next play down ad through the ball to Lebron and Lebron threw it right back to ad as if to say go at him again. Ad went at Mark scored again because Mark was playing passive defense trying not to foul. And then it's snowballed from there.

Other than that one quarter where he absolutely destroyed the Suns in the first quarter we've seen a lot of games recently where Mark just doesn't show up physically or mentally in the first quarter doesn't impose himself. Even in that gang versus Memphis where he ended up scoring a bunch. In the first six minutes of that game when he was matched up on Zach. Zach pushed him around and completely dictated the style of play in the paint against Mark in that first 6 minutes. It didn't show up in the stats but it was there when you watched the game.

I'm not sure why I lee left mark in the game so long in the first quarter when he was getting destroyed. It was a teaching moment. He was wanting Mark to get more experience playing against All-star caliber centers. Not saying Moose would have fared any better at that point but I feel like you have to at least try something different

Unrelated, is the website the high low that used to have the searchable highlights of games no longer a functioning website? are there any alternatives to find individual plays of games to.

Lee played 12 guys again, I guess LaMelo going down gives him a bit of a break but still... this is just a consistent thing. Like why did Taj Gibson play 4 mins last night when Moussa played 11?
