I think I wrote a post earlier today but then decided not to post it saying the Gods are even trying to overcome Sarver and help us tank, with the Bledsoe injury.

So let's see for next season, keepers:

Core: Booker, Warren, Len(hopefully)
Bench: Leuer

Sarver must have done nasty things to basketball gods.

And of course if Tyson doesn't commit that foul, Knight hits a great shot to put us up by two very late. Great cherry picking of moments to make your point though.

Lebron sick or something. Looks lethargic than usual.

Beautiful game by Warren with 23/5, and it looked like he played good defense as well (eye test).

Who cares about one play. It was just an example of how he screws up 50% of the time. He played a horrible game. HORRIBLE. Shot 39% fg. 33% 3 pts. Only 4 assists in 38 minutes with also 3 turnovers. Great assist to turnover ratio right.

Why don't you quote some of the several other posters that said to trade Knight and that he sucks instead of quote me EVERY SINGLE TIME I MAKE A POST.

Guess the 76ers are not that lowly anymore with Ish. They're tied with Utah. That loss feels a little less embarrassing now.

If every game the rest of the season went pretty much like this one, it would be perfect.

12-70 ...and make every game, a "game" until the end. Make 'em sweat, but ALWAYS...ALWAYS! lose.

Warren took 15 shots tonight. Young players like he and Booker need to be told to take a lot of shots. That is how young players develop.

Yes, quoting myself here, but despite the disappointments, that is why this season, for me, is FAR more entertaining as a fan than last season. Last season everyone just seemed disgruntled, and watching the look on Dragic's face early sucked, we had the Morris twins acting crazy with techs which was no fun to watch, then we make crazy moves at the deadline, only to see injuries decimate us near the end.

This year, we have played pretty well outside of the past 4-5 games prior to this one. The Milwaukee loss I think deflated us, and then getting demoralized by GS just carried over for a few games.

But I like that they fight to the end. I can't say I like all the players. Knight makes some amazing shots sometimes, but that fact makes him overconfident and he needs to pass more. I really like Booker, Warren, Leuer, Len, and at times, Telly. We have some nice pieces. But looking at the guys I listed, I still can't see why people think we are playoff caliber....I mean Bledsoe can be really good when he isn't dogging it, and Kieff is good when he plays his best, but other than that our best players are pretty raw, yet we still hang in there other than the handful of games preceding this one.

Philly might win another game. The Ish Smith/D'Antoni effect.

At this point, all you can ask for. Good effort and a loss.

I kind of agree, because I want a chance to get into the top 3, but I think I would like wins here and there to not make our young guys lose all confidence.

Booker and Warren are gonna be very good players... They're smart players too. We gotta build around them.

Alex Len is trash and will always be weak. Reminds of when Robin Lopez was here.. Good shot, no hands, 7 foot girl, fouls a lot and does not dunk the ball. Has good games here and there but nothing excites me about him.

Kerrsed needs to figure out a way to put Sarver in front of a tank with his hands up telling him to stop but God looking down from above with something (I don't know a laser shot from his eyes about to take out Sarver?)

Booker is a very selective shooter. He was like that in Kentucky too.
I believe this is a trait almost impossible to change... but for now it's ok

It'll be very different if he becomes our best player in the future.

I don't think that this is something that necessarily needs to change. Assuming that Booker selects shots based on how good they are, all we need to do is to run better plays that result in better shot opportunities. If we do that, I'm betting that he will naturally take more shots as a result.
