PG: Back to .500 (5-5)

[PushDaRock]

Fun game but Sixers too talented and I really really really hate them. They steal VJ from us tanking with a bunch of vets then they sign an underrated guy in Watford who’s actually a bit of douche and he puts a huge stat line on us. Hate them with a passion.

Hated that smug look he had on his face while putting up a Jokic stat line.

Is it too early to want to unload Jak for Zach Collins and then make a competitive offer for Jalen Duren in 2026

[Basketball_Jones]

Sandro and CMB need to play a lot more. Specifically when Yak isn’t playing.

A lot of whining about how we need another C, but these 2 were doing fine out there and could have played more mins.

The team before this game also had a 98.6 DRTG with Mamu out on the floor. We have been elite defensively with him out on the floor even if he isn't your traditional 5 that stays home and protects the rim.

[Harcore Fenton Mun]

It's funny, we only have the minutes for a 6-8 man rotation. Darko's still running it 10 deep.

[TravisScott55]

please get a back up center

[Harcore Fenton Mun]

The funny part is, there was a huge market for C's this summer. He could have easily been somebody else's problem.

[dballislife]

we can literally just go 8 deep with cmb 30min and mamu 20min and shead 20min off the bench

[dballislife]

and mamu only looks good when hes not your biggest guy cause you dont want him defending your paint, he needs to play with cmb or barnes

[YogurtProducer]

Honestly, decent game on a schedule loss night. Almost stole it

[Harcore Fenton Mun]

Mamu's a nice euro PF, he's not really a C.

Battle is better than Gradey/Ochai/Jakobe but gets no playing time after winning the Cavs game.

Reward good play with playing time, instead of prioritizing contracts and showcasing to up their fictitious value

[YogurtProducer]

One thing through 10 games.... I hope we move on from Ingram in a consolidation trade ASAP - hopefully this summer for a real star. His defensive ability is just insanely bad and A LOT of our teams deficiencies are fixed if you can get a 2-way player in his place.

His game is fun to watch offensively, but your ceiling is severely capped when he is such a defensive liability.

It is really mind boggling. We are a +56 with Battle on the floor this season.

Battle has played 50 minutes.

Send Jakobe to the shadow realm (G-League). Immedeitely start dangling Dick in trades.

we honestly played them great and with more legs on a non back to back and a healthy poeltl, really we right there with philly

[Harcore Fenton Mun]

That's the thing, other than Peoltl it's been injury free. That's not going to last.

[YogurtProducer]

Also 100% out on cheering for Ingram.

Dude gets hurt or whatever, gets a delay of game tech, comes out and has an outburst, HITS A WATER BOY when he throws a water bottl, and then doesn’t apologize or help clean up the mess he made.

I don’t know. That gave me a real bad impression of the guy. Just being a huge bitch.

The odds of getting an upgrade from BI aren't very high.

He's been our worst defender, probably isn't close at all so far. Am hoping that with more reps and understanding of the schemes that he can at least get to an adequate level there.

Having said that, I really don't want to go back to watching RJ or Scottie create in the half court again. So, unless he manage to get an upgrade that can also do what BI does there, I'm not keen on getting rid of him either.

i agree....we really do need someone to count on for offense in half-court

It'd be easier to tolerate if we had more plus defenders in the SL besides Scottie, but yeah it's hard to watch. He's like DeMar level bad on defense.
