Only question as the Tank Machine is at it zenith, is whether Troy Brown gets any run. They should be used to playing without Wall since he's missed about 50 games the last two years.

Troy Brown in early. Yay!

Over/under on Beal minutes tonight after a game on Friday? I'll go over 42 minutes

can't make this up... Troy Brown with a couple back to back nifty moves in the paint

Hey, Troy Brown can go to the basket and drive like a rookie Oubre. And can dribble and pass. Hmm.

Troy Brown hit a three. Damn, kid has been working on his shot. But maybe we should rest Troy for the tank (lol).

Troy brown not looking out of place at all. Has to be embarrassing for Scott Brooks

Yep. Gotta wonder what the hell he was thinking playing Baker over Brown. Better late than never I guess.

Decker really has a knack for being in the right place at the right time.

And of course Troy looks extremely comfortable out there.

I have to think that Brooks was not playing Brown as an FU to Ernie since Brooks probably won't be around next season and is not interested in developing people even if Brown is better than the alternative of Ron Baker. Now he basically has no choice with Wall done. I mean he has a choice but Baker couldn't make a jumper if you gave him 10 tries and nobody guarding him.

What your point? Brooks is dead man walking if he had a lesser deal.Every other team in the league would have played their rookie first-round pick and everyone has to this point, not just stashed him in the G-League. Now the injuries will be used as an excuse for all parties involved when in some ways they could be a blessing in disguise.

could this john wall injury be a blessing for us?

These guys can’t even tank properly :nonono:

It can't be that hard to lose right?

Brooks is actually coaching tonight. He's not just throwing Beal out there for 48 minutes. Playing just eight players but there's not much choice. Would like to see Devin Robinson get some minutes with Morris out. No need for Mahinmi when the Hornets lack a quality center.

80sballboy · Post #19 » by **80sballboy** » Sun Dec 30, 2018 2:16 am

Kemba Walker and a bunch of bums. Likely no tank loss tonight.
