Yeah, judging by that list the tank is 100% on. Weaver ain't dicking around; every player over the age of 23 is out (except McGruder who shouldn't be in the rotation anyway). And I'm willing to bet this is still a very good game. In fact I'm gonna go ahead and call the W. Portland is tanking even harder lol

Yeah this is a W for sure. We are favored by 10. Has that happened all year???? Incoming... here comes OKC leapfrogging us

No Josh Hart tonight. Pistons are laying a whopping 9.5-10.

It's friggin' brutal listening to opposing broadcasters talk about our players when they clearly haven't watched them play. Or know what positions they play.

The only thing that can hold Cade back this game is foul trouble. Please Cade no weak fouls tonight

Cade with a bad start again

Twice he's dribbled into like 3 defenders and gotten stripped. Trying to get too deep with no spacing. He's either gotta take the mid-range, work on his floater or kick it out.

Btw - this is kinda the problem with having Hayes/Bagley/Stewart and no shooters on the floor other than Bey. Really poor spacing. Hayes was in the corner on at least one occasion and drove into the defense and also got stripped. I'd rather have started Livers for that reason alone.

forgot about the absolutely no spacing factor when i said portland was out-tanking us. portland packs the paint, lee and hayes can't do anything, cade forcing it because nothing else is going on for the team... ugh.

also i really don't like bagley and stewart on the floor together. neither space the floor and neither keep the ball moving, it just kills any kind of offensive flow against a simple zone.

Evil Saben is back :/

We need to play Saben Lee 40 mins a game, if most of those minutes are with Killian Hayes, there is no way in hell our tank would fail.

I don't want it that badly.

It never ceases to amaze me just how bad Lee can be at times. I just don't get it. Your a professional, get your head on straight man.

Wide open guys in the corners, gets stripped in the lane trying to be 7' again.

In his defense if he ever grows that extra 10" he's going to be a damn good player.
