Bazley playing well again. Diallo is just annoying.

My previous post wasn't intended to be prophetic for the rest of the game even if it turned out that way. I'm cautiously optimistic for Bazley.

Also, watching Ferguson try to bring the ball up court while being pressure made me cringe. I know he's young but he hasn't developed any useful skills in three seasons.

If anyone else wants to make game threads, go ahead. I’m not going to do anymore. This forum is too dead to support them.

Well people wanted a loss for a draft pick. Did that help?
My eyes glaze over when reading alternative stat (not advanced stat) narratives that go many paragraphs long. If you can not make your point in 2 paragraphs it may not be a great point. :D

Not really.

MIA and IND both need to win but they play each other tonight. Jazz lost today so that hurts our chances even more...

Bazley has looked really promising. Still very raw in a lot of aspects but nothing he won't be able to improve through experience and coaching. Praying he doesn't follow the trend of the previous rookies who haven't made the next leap (Ferguson, Diallo, Payne) but he already looks way more promising than any of them.

Thanks for making the game threads. Sometimes they are the only reason I know we have games. :)
