Ant has not been the same since his injury, he has fallen off since sometime after mid-season. Guessing it is injury and condition related. He just doesn't seem to have the energy and juice to keep the elite level of play all season. Last season he was a different player in the first half too, he's just not ready to take over and carry a team I think.

I couldn't agree more mate. We kind of know what we're getting with DLo, and that is a player that can get hot one game then completely **** the bed in the next 3.

Ant is the surprise - I thought after the AS break he'd pick it up like he did last year, but he's getting worse which is worry. Really hoping it's just a long slump and that he/the coaching staff can find something to motivate him and get him confident again.

Predictable outcome. Frontcourt getting cooked on the glass and Russell/Ant not showing up to play leads to this result.

We really miss Beasley's shooting tonight too, Nowell is trying but Beasley is someone the other team really has to worry about on the perimeter, opens up a lot.

Mobley would have made all the difference for this team. He's exactly who we needed. We'd be a 4th seed right now with Mobley.

Reading Ramona’s ESPN article about Towns, seems like he puts Finch above all else w/ this team. That would include not resigning D-Lo.

Dlo has got to be most passive, softest and most inconsistent star player in history of bball. If he's even considered one. 4 friqqin pts the entire game on lousy shooting. He avg like 10 pts this entire month. Inexcusable.. Trade him to Knicks for Barette but Knicks will probably say hell no.

KAT probably would have demanded a trade by now tho had we done that.

We should have just tanked harder last year.

Doesn't take much for this forum to spin out, hey?

Not a great performance at all but Boston and Phoenix are easily the two best teams in the league at the moment as far as I'm concerned, those games have just been realistic reflections of where we're at in our building process.

Still a pretty good season thus far with a lot more to play for.

I do think if we don't address the size issue at all this coming off-season it'll be the end of this era.

I'd trade Dlo, McDaniels, and a pick for Murray and Landale.

Then do everything to get Bobby Portis in FA, with bigger wings like Porter Jr. If we could get Ingles as swiss army knife guy behind Beasley, Porter Jr that would be great.


Murray/Nowell
Bev/Beasley/Ingles
Edwards/Porter Jr
Portis/Vando
KAT/Reid / Landale

So you think Wiggins is better than DLo, but with Wigs we’d have moved up to 3rd instead of 7th with DLo?

If Russell is hurt we should be resting him because Nowell or McLaughlin >> a hurt Russell and we need him healthy for the playoffs/in.
Because there in no other acceptable explanation for him playing this badly.

Another big downside to the play-in, without it we would have clinched a spot already and could be letting some of our guys who are dinged up heal. Hope the league enjoys the poor quality product of a bunch of beat up teams going at one another in the first round.

Celtics have really figured something out because they have been absolute fire the last couple of months.
Robert WIlliams anchoring the D is key for that team playing a poor man's Gobert.

TRAM

And old card acronym for “The Rest Are Mine”

So when we finish the season 6-0, we’ll be at 49-33, which should be plenty to move up to sixth

That was a terrible game to watch but people go to understand what kind of team we are. We are definitely better than most of us anticipated but we still aren't a great team. Great teams take to a whole other level and we haven't found that gear. Same reason why I have been thinking we can't win a playoff series. It doesn't mean doom and gloom if we get worked, it just means we got a ways to go still.
