Charlotte at Utah, 9:00 Friday, January 10 

Post#1 » by euphorbus » Fri Jan 10, 2020 9:59 pm

Utah, 25-12, playing at home. Charlotte, 15-25, still recovering from a six-game losing streak over the holidays.

Can they take it to overtime again? Who will be better, Monk or Mitchell?

The first outing of a four-game Western road trip.

I can't believe we are still 9th in the East. We need to lose 20 in a row to send a statement to the league

Why not try to make the playoffs to entice free agents to come play here? We are going to have money to spend next season and I wouldn't want to be the last team guys talk to.

They tried that in 2011-12. The only thing it accomplished was to alienate most of their fans. Who wants to root for a laughingstock?

This is frustrating, as it has been all year. Lose a few, win a few. Beat good teams, get beaten by inferior teams.

On the bright side, we are a mere 2.5 games out of the 5th pick though, so not as bad as we truly think.

Bridges stroke from deep has way more arc last 5 quarters and his shot is barely hitting the rim. Give him more touches

Cant believe we hired Clifford over Snyder. Snyder has went all out Tony Montana on blow in years past but hes brilliant.

I dont understand why Monk even receives minutes anymore. He cant shoot, he cant defend, he cant pass. What does he do?

Too bad the four corners offense is illegal.

Rozier is literally the only one playing like he gives a **** right now. Embarrassing effort

Give Devonte a couple games off. Leading the league in minutes and hes not use to this work load. His shot is off/short and he just looks off. Can tell hes still trying but just looks tired.

guys need to realize that playing from down 20 every night is more exhausting than just playing hard from the jump
