I can’t wait for us to scramble to comeback last five minutes and probably come up short

Its because he basically hasnt played basketball since 2019 and the lack of practice time has really hurt his feel for the game. He’s just not ready to help us win basketball games at all.

Im not writing him off, but he’s been hurt the most by Wyc penny pinching and not fielding a G League team this season.


Wasn't the G-League season something like 12 games, in a bubble, which would preclude guys moving freely between the two leagues?


Yeah, its already over. Nesmith played 1 game and 9 minutes total during a blowout in that stretch.

We're a very undisciplined team. Why we can't string consecutive stops and scores.

I never thought I would see this lineup together.


been asking for this for awhile. Should be our starting lineup well into the future and gives us the best chance to win. Plus it improves our bench with Kemba being protected by Smart. Love it

Nearly halftime and Kemba Walker with

6pts, 0 ast and 0 reb.

The guy contributes like a 5 million dollar player while making 30. Sad.

Is this team capable of winning another game this season?

Starting to just assume we are going to miss and everything shot against us is going down. Have we shot a free throw? Because we have been attacking the paint some.

That was an almost perfect defensive possession until Rob's foul at the end.

Why is the IQ of this team so low this season. They all make rookie mistakes
