What?? Clark and TJ both got injured?


Clark suffered neck spasms after a collision with Wright.

During the second quarter, Shannon Jr. left the game with an apparent left shoulder injury. But he came back into the game a bit later.

Didn't watch the game. I can't provide any input on who should make roster spots 8-18 and who should and shouldn't get regular season PT based on a preseason game I didn't watch. Maybe the next one...

Or, could win 10 more games. Never know. What is obvious is Mike shouldn't start or play big minutes and we have no other capable pg's on roster


"It's not rocket science."

It's not tiddlywinks either tho.

PS. Nobody wants Rob.Good Lord.

PPS. JUZANG IS LIFE! He looks ready to catch on.


Which is why you send him with Randle, and maybe more.

I'm on record that if we trade Randle it's the end of this team being competitive. Hopefully we never have to find out if I'm right.

Not trying to be a hater, but that seems entirely reliant on what Minnesota gets back, no? Seems like a blanket statement that has WAY too much variance on what could come back. We are talking about a fringe All-Star, not Anthony Edwards.

For example, it could be a questionable package that breaks him into a couple players/assets, or he could be used in a consolidation trade for a higher impact player. Even with both of those directions, both are exceptionally reliant on who/what is returned.

Sure if we trade him for Luka Doncic than it won't be the death of us. I don't think that is going to happen. Randle just gives us so many things we need that I think trading him for a PG as most are talking about is going to create more problems than it solves. I'll stand by my comment.

I fell asleep during the game and just got around to watching the rest of it. We were down 24 and down 12 with about 3 minutes to go and managed to bring it to OT. During the comeback we had several chances for and ones, but couldn't convert the basket. I hate losing.

I gave up on the game after we had cut it to a one point deficit, but dropped back down to 10 with about 5 minutes left. I was surprised got it into overtime.

Yep. Multiple remarkable comebacks.
