But our supporting cast is fine because we beat the Warriors, right?

So glad we didn't make a move. Our bench is outstanding.

PG a buyout candidate.

I know we didn't have Russ and Melo, and in previous years when we were already at 40 wins you'd just chalk this up to "who cares if we lose this one" losses. But not only did we lose, we lost by 25-bleeping points?!? I didn't bother to watch. Did we even look like we cared or were we just that incompetent with having only PG, Adams and a bunch of scrubs?

It is what it is. We really are that bad. Russ and Roberson cover up the blemishes.

OKC is clearly going to win it all this year! They are undefeated against the Warriors, Rockets and Spurs! They are going to go undefeated in the playoffs!

TRUE!

I tuned out at halftime. I checked back in to see how the game was going and saw Daniel Hamilton almost dribble the ball off his foot, and Abrines attempting to dribble the ball, but getting nowhere with it. That's all I needed to see.

Russ might have a case for MVP again. Dre should win DPOY even though he is out for the season.

They lost to the Spurs.

Presti needs to hope the buyout market is as robust as the media is expecting. There are a lot of guys you do not want to use in the playoffs on this roster.

I could feel the positive momentum chemistry all game long. Every time we bricked a 3, it filled me with confidence. Every time we were unable to get to the rim, it made me feel special.

Patterson had a chance to show what he can do.. he ended up getting dominated by Randle. Be ok if he could hit the 3 ball..
instead he couldnt hit any 3s and missed a gimmie at the rim.
We have 7-8 man max rotation come playoff time. Not good

How did Dozier and Hamilton look? Any chance there?

Bergmaniac · Post #17 » by **Bergmaniac** » Fri Feb 9, 2018 11:18 am

Wow, this was awful. Some of the worst basketball I've seen in a long time. These first several minutes of the second quarter when Donovan played a lineup with Abrines with the nominal PG were something else. Grant running pick and rolls was high comedy.

George, as great as he is in so many things, is really mediocre at best for a star wing at creating for others and it really showed last night. of course, with the way his teammates were shooting it probably wouldn't have matter much anyway if he had gotten them better looks more often, it was quite the brickfest out there. And Adams was probably hungover from partying the last night or something, he was that bad. Patterson was terrible too.

Patterson might be our best bench player but he sucks.

Reign23 · Post #19 » by **Reign23** » Fri Feb 9, 2018 12:24 pm

since I believe melos shootings struggles come from playing way to many minutes, it isn't the worst thing for him to sit this one out. means no game from tuesday to sunday and soon there is the 7 day allstar break. should do him good.

Idk why but I like this kid Hamilton. Maybe he only plays in garbage time so it looks better? :dontknow:
