Whoa whoa whoa now wait just a gotdam minute!

You’re forgetting Perry’s holiday Elf on the Shelf mercenary reclamation project, which will obvs relegate DSJ to 6th man and Frank out of the rotation. Duh.

Dark humor, cynicism, sarcasm, and such have become our weapons against the encroaching darkness of this cruel season.

How about fire Fiz, Mills and Perry at the end of the season and don't allow them to make any trades before that?

Uh...what?

Is Dolan selling the team? No.

So what's the only logical solution? Hope Dolan isn't an idiot for once in his life and hires a good executive and not another yes man.

Not sure what the point of this post is.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

Nothing against you man. It was just a funny irony to me. No one wants to even hear about this guy but we need him to fire people when that time comes. Mills and Perry ain’t firing themselves.

If this is the case, I'm foregoing the recap to write a piece about how we never follow through with a rebuild and how it keeps costing us both top drafting positions and valuable development for young players instead...I could write half the player recaps right now anyway. Randle was lazy on defense and isolated too much. Morris shot us out of the first half then got hot in the second half while we were down too much for it to matter. Ellington made three consecutive threes, went 4/14 from three overall.


It’s just mind boggling.

Seriously, how the **** are we not starting Mitch?? I was just looking at that 23 under 23 article from BR in the summer and thought Mitch is already more impactful than the vast majority. If he plays, 9 out of 10 games it’s a great game.

Wtf is wrong with this franchise?

He can’t survive more than 15-20 minutes without fouling out anyway, starting doesn’t really matter that much he’s still raw and undisciplined. That’s a bigger concern than if he’s starting but also probably falls on the coaches that they haven’t been able to reign him in and fix this

This is a good game to see how RJ handles high pressure NBA moments. This will probably be the biggest game of his young career playing in his hometown.

He's fouled out of 2 games this season.

He's had 5 fouls in two others.

1 game he left for injury.

2/3 of the time fouling has not been an issue.

We have zero reason not to start him and I don't see how starting doesn't matter when it comes to your future C.
