Where the hell did they find these end of the bench guys? Can't even get simple things right.

Frazier just hasn't developed at all.

I would decline his team option for next season.

This is so dumb. The players individually obviously want to win, but no team is going to put in their starters and risk an injury to win a scrimmage game. Let the end of bench player play this out

Fun fact: BJ Johnson went to the same Philadelphia high school as Kobe Bryant.

who wants the starters in? the bench was already in and had a rhythm going just stick with those guys....how is that dumb? he switched to the g-league lineup when it was fine with what he had on the floor

Because it doesn't matter if we win or lose and we don't want TRoss, Bamba, or MCW to get injured. They will get minutes in the playoffs and we won't risk an injury when we saw them coming to form.

These games don't even matter for the seeding

it's just hooping man it doesn't need to be that complicated, lakers are still playing their rotation guys in a meaningless game....you can only prevent so much, injuries are going to happen or they won't

Well the energy and effort was much better in the 2nd half which is what I wanted to see. We have a lot we need to improve on though.

Well it was not a total disaster of a game. Shooting was awful but Ross did well, Dj was very good, Bamba played really well despite being outmuscled by DH. We just need Fultz and Isaac and we can cut those non nba players from our rotation.

Hopefully Fultz and Isaac are cleared for the final scrimmage. Would certainly make things more interesting for everyone.

Curious if Clifford continues this Birch/Bamba backup C split when the games start counting.

Those guys need some evaluation minutes as well during this warm up period. We need to see what we have. This is going to be a crazy race to the finish of a shortened season and we don't know what we have from a few key players coming off a long layoff. We may very well have to go deeper than we want to in meaningful games. It is best to learn who we may need to count on now.
