Not surprised

Mark Williams is most likely the reason why. A big man with back problems like him is a walking red flag

We saw what the back injuries did to Dwight

U don't need size on wemby when he is outside of the paint. He has no real post game. And doesn't back anyone down. It's all face up and 3 pointers for him.

Diabate was guarding him last night and he had a horrible game offensively. And diabate is a 6'7 center...


Side note, but I think Diabate is awesome. He looks like he is just learning ball at times, but plays really hard and the team plays much better when he is out there.

With that Harrison Barnes 1st quarter I really didn't think it would be our night, even though we did win that quarter. And then I really didn't think it was our night when we fell behind by 13 late in the 3rd quarter.

This was the kind of resilient win we were getting before things went south. Let's hope we can keep it going and that it won't just be a one-off performance like our last couple wins.
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.

Franz did what Franz does, but AB played out of his mind tonight. This isn’t a game without him. Team best +22, 20 points on 8-9 shooting and a perfect 3-3 from 3 plus 2 steals and all his deflections. Vest that man!

Oo I agree. He is relentless defensively and those are the guys that can make a guy like wemby night frustrated since he doesn't have a back to the basket post game. That's why a guy like AB could work on wemby in certain situations.

At this point I think it may be roster construction at fault. Weltman is giving this coach absolutely nothing to work with, so Harris is almost out there by default to give others a breather. The alternative is Caleb Houston or someone other scrub.

That is true I was thinking that when I posted it :lol: :lol: but basically we're getting zilch from that position on most nights. WHICH IS WHY I WOULD HAVE LOVED A TRADE but I'll cope that they do that in the offseason :x
