No Bagley tonight

Frank and Diallo should play

What is wrong with Bagley?

A win tonight would make it 4 out of 5 and push us to 3rd worst record in the league ahead of Houston and Orlando.

So you’re saying this would be a great time for a loss?

It was thoughtful of the Magic to win again last night after beating Houston, just to keep the tanks in balance.

Damn, I am gonna have to hope for a loss, I am getting worried about this draft position. Play a lot of the deepest bench, see what we have. Start Livers and Garza so we can get a really good look at them the rest of the year.

Beef Stew with some nice interior D to start this one out.

I'm still routing for them to win everything until they're the 4th worst team in the league. They'll need to hav 20+ wins and a better record than OKC before I start wanting losses.

Cade needs to get the TOs under control. He is always just a little to lazy or risky. They are silly mistakes.

Grant looking much better to start this game; an early assist instead of putting his head down and barreling inside.
Bey is being aggressive with his shot, which is also a good sign.
Cade is attacking the basket and pushing the ball in transition.

All good signs. It just hurts watching us switch everything defensively when we don't really have the personal to do it.

It sucks kind of wanting a loss vs Washington. I'd like to avenge the last L vs them where Kuzma was gloating at the end and shut him up a little.

Beef Stew just had a defensive possession where he switched onto like four different Wizards and stood his ground against all of them forcing a tough fall away jumper that they missed. Him being able to switch and guard anyone on the floor is huge.

Grant isoing into 3 bodies is getting tired. We need to make better decisions.

By far our best(in Points Per Possession) ISO player this season has been Diallo.... Cade/Bey are just slightly above average and Grant is actually slightly below average. Grant ISO results more FTs than the other guys which helps but he's still below average in ISO ball this season.

Cade wants to work Ish every chance lol

Nice move in the paint there from Killian.

Back to the four guard lineups we saw all the time when Grant/Kelly were injured.... thought we were done with those.

Strange to see a player drive right and still shoot up with their right hand... usually that is a good way to have a defender block the shot.
