Hadn't noticed, but can't believe they beat that good team (forgot who) badly last time without Markkanen.
They've been on a roll since the return of Mirotic. Mostly because Dunn has been playing well, though.

what is the record of shots taken without a fg?


I saw a box score just last night where a really good player was 0-7...can't remember who. It happens. Not that it's ok, but hopefully Jackson figures something out offensively in time.

I mean our great McD said "We think Josh was the best player in the draft.."

It's sad that with Booker out no other young player can step up and make a difference. Chriss, Bender, Jackson are doing nothing to prove they will be contributing anytime this season.

Seen a few things out of bender I like tonight. Even if its as small as the right pass to Ulis.

Wow, Mirotic with 29 and 9 on great efficiency and Dunn didn't shoot well, but 8 assists, 7 boards and 4 steals. And Markkanen didn't play.

With LaVine returning, if he gets back to form, they will probably start winning more, especially with Markkanen coming back at some point too.

Monroe, James, Daniels with 50 points.

Our vets have played well in Booker's absence.

Ulis is playing an amazing game tonight. And Bender with a solid game.

what bothers me more: i just think he is not smart.
not in terms of intelligence, it is his ability to read the game and decision making. is that coachable? can he adapt to a role over time?
i mean i would love him to be a tony allen type of player. stick to the role, be a pesky defender. hit a shot now or then.
that is not much to ask.

Potentially a landmark night for tank if we can pull off the loss. Chicago wins, Milwaukee loses, the Heat lose, OKC wins. All good for our picks. If only Memphis would have won but Gasol is clearly not able to carry them without Conley.

Maybe he should go get some oxygen for Daniels so he can finish the game.

VanVleet and Mike James look like twins from a distance. Specially when they are shooting.

Impossible. It has already been well established that he is a complete bust since he is not averaging more than 12 PPG.

If it wasn't for the fact that we only have Jackson and TJ at the SF position, I would've liked to see JJ down in the G-Leagues to work on his shooting.

Memphis is a threat in that respect. We play them twice, Sac, and maybe Dallas right around the time Booker returns so it will be interesting to see how all that plays out. Those games could have quite an impact on where everyone ends up.

We have has such horrible luck this year with injuries, the Bledsoe situation, coaching, etc, that I feel we are due....I know you are never due and it's random, but still, I feel like we are finally due after all these years to actually get some good luck in the top 3 draw. Regardless of all that, hopefully we just make the right pick. There is a good chance 1 or 2 of those top 5 or 6 do not become really good players.

I get what you mean but I hope we didn't waste a #4 pick on a Tony Allen type player.
