Alex Len as a dump off man isn't bad. He might have a good role on a better team.

Genius tank move Triano. Len was feasting inside, so let's take him out and put in Bender at Center lol

edit: nice flip pass from Bender off the dribble tho

how the pistons aren't competing for one of the top 5 picks is beyond me. Drummond is one of the few centers in the league that Len looks good in comparison at least offensively, i have yet to see what stanley johnson does well and their bench is horrible

He’s just too inconsistent. He has good games like these and then disappear entirely for next several days.

With the 6th highest payroll in the NBA, they can't "afford" to be a bottom 5 team. But you're right, they have been totally underwhelming after a decent start to the season. They also screwed themselves taking on Blake

The injury report made it sound like he could have played today but that he was held out since there was zero reason for him to. Might as well give him the extra day of rest to help prevent further wrist injury/reagitation and it isn't like you guys want to win. I completely agree with sitting him today and then bringing him back next game when you are playing a better team in Cleveland.

Best of both worlds: not available for today's trap game and not hurt in a way that will impact him moving forward.

He's had by far his best season for us. Over 55% from the field. Only barely eclipsed 50% once before. By far his best rebounding year too. We just haven't played him a ton and we rarely dump off to our Cs for scores, but both him and Chandler usually finish and have very high FG%.

I've wondered how often we would throw it in to Ayton. Hopefully a lot more.

Payton is irritating.

For your half time entertainment, Atlanta is up 1 against the Jazz with 3 minutes left in the game

So when's my boy JJ scoring the rest of his 50?

Maybe the Warriors will try their G leaguers against us next game with their starters as the coaching staff.

This got real ugly real quick

Tough game for Josh, lot of floaters and layups rolling off the rim for him. Jumper definitely not falling though

Post #38 » by **ATTL** » Wed Mar 21, 2018 3:42 am

I don't think Tyler is strong enough to shoot threes

Post #39 » by **batsmasher** » Wed Mar 21, 2018 3:43 am

JJ has the attitude of a future superstar. He can hold his head up high through this tankfest.

Damn, if not for Troy Daniels, we'd be 2-23 from 3. Lets just make sure to draft another non shooter.
