So Joe Ingles just went into covid protocols - looks like Utah might catch an outbreak by Friday's game.

Curb Stomp time!

Convincing people that pick 10-11 is much better than 16-17 and playoffs is pointless - they just want some instant gratification - and not longer term higher ceiling.

I think we should stop calling Team Mediocre. It's really Team Shortsighted

Why is it when Lowry was complaining to the refs, it looks like a little bro complaining to his parents about his big bro, but when FVV is complaining to the refs, it looks like an angry old retiree griping about the world moving past him.

If you're mad the team isn't tanking your anger needs to be directed at the club. What is the point of being annoyed at what some stranger on the internet with no say in anything wants out of a basketball team?

Man, get a lotto pick in the 2022 draft and add that to this squad and see what happens. Another asset to get the Raps towards the direction of being a legit contender.

I'm doing well, always nice to be positive to start the new year. Glad you're good Del!

Everyone else doing ok?

Idc much about our record but I can’t help but feel like the past few games have been subpar for Scotties development. He’s a Kawhi/Giannis type prospect but being used as the washed versions of Gasol/Draymond

6 shots (technically 4 since the last 2 were forced heaves at the end of the shot clock) is disappointing. He didn’t play a good game, but a big part of that is because of how many times he gets ignored. It’s difficult to be engaged and in rhythm when you’re not getting the ball where you’re most effective

Seems this is gonna be the new norm for him with the rest of the lineup being healthy. Shame

I’m not too invested in the tank since I don’t see us getting into the top 10 and I feel Masai can get us a good player anywhere in the teens anyways. Win or lose, idc too much. All I’m invested in is the development of Scottie, win or lose
