Suggs is a game-time decision. He's going through a pregame warmup now.

Not sure how I feel about this. The kid is always limping. It might be good to just shut him down... and it's not even for tanking purposes. He is just ridiculously banged up.

Games are boring when Suggs doesn't play.

I totally agree.

My interest levels wane significantly when Suggs isn't on the court.

Suggs is starting to get gun-shy from deep like our other PG...

Great look from Cole to Franz

Future looks good with Franz and WCJ. Not a lot of weaknesses there

If we could figure out our backcourt we would be in a great place once JI is back.

They have good chemistry. Two smart players.

Why does this guy insist on playing Ross. The guy is finished.

RJ running point is a great tanking strategy

And what the hell has happened to Ross' shot? He's bricking wide open 3's.

Don't you have to set your feet to draw a charge?

Hampton just doesn't know how to play basketball at the NBA level.

Look at the bench. What alternatives does Mosley have?

Also, there's no way he's magically washed. He's disinterested in what's going on here.
