Beat a good team in Orlando tho, so I won’t complain too much. But I’m still in evaluation phase. Sample size is still small.

Well here is how this is going to work for me. My team is my team. I like them a lot and think its a team that can make some noise. But if I am wrong, then I am just wrong. I will continue to lose despite playing my best players; and I will have a lottery pick.

I will see you in the playoffs or I will see you in the lottery. My work is done.

I hear you bro...so your approach is - you are playing your way and whatever happens happens?

My approach is I worked hard on my team and like it. Three of my four best players are very cap friendly. Luka is 22, Sexton is 22, Zion is 21, KP is the old man at 26.

I have a solid lineup entered that, barring a season ending injury, should carry me through. Its time to let them gel/grow together...

Cole gets his first start, Cole gets hurt. While it's only 10 games, it still sucks to see.

Sorry to hear this. I was worried Sexton got hurt when I saw he only got 22 minutes. It looks like foul trouble was the reason though.

We've all had our fair share of injuries over the years, in the grand scheme of things 10 games is nothing.

I had the Hawks dead last and that was with the consideration that AFB was gonna pull some bull with his vet players. The Celtics have pride to play for and may pull a couple out. The Hawks, with incentive to lose, are just god awful.

i need a starting level PG, if any of you tanking teams have one, and we can work around something. i already have a couple of 2 and 2.5 star PGs, so i'm looking for a 3.

it'll be tough with my financial situation, unfortunately. only really have 1 FRP and SRP

Hopefully the kid gets an opportunity...

Following Neemias Queta’s dominant performance against Salt Lake City, in which he tallied 24 points, 16 boards, 7 blocks, and 2 steals, he was called up to the Sacramento Kings for the matchups against the league’s Los Angeles teams.

Just need to weather these injuries and get healthy. Two bad quarters vs Charlotte. Beal with a lot of points but 10 turnovers.

Isaac continuing to own with the steals at least

Tough road win vs. a likely playoff seed.

Damn Melo.

Also, John Connor strikes again.

Solid win vs a tough undermanned Kings team. Capela continues to be on fire putting up 38/15 and 4 blocks. Got to give props to Thybulle who even though had his man Beal put up 36 points was able to produce 7 steals and shot 4-5 from the floor.

4-1 start and continue this west coast trip vs Nerlens Noel and the GSW's
