We are 14/61 (.229) from deep the last 2 games. The worst shooting team in the league averages 10.5 makes per game. So my question is... can we make 10 3pointers tonight? Lord knows we aren't winning, I just wanna know if we can make some shots.

Does anybody ever truly guard KD? You just sorta hope he has the flu or is suffering from seasonal depression or something.

For context he went 10-13 (23 pts) vs. Grant and then 16-31 (51 pts, 7 rebs, 9 assists, 2 stls, 1 blk) when Grant was out. He certainly filled the boxscore when it was Bey/Diallo... but it's not exactly like he struggled against Grant either. He only played 27 min in the 1st game because it was essentially a blowout and he didn't need to do any more. He only took 2 shots in the 2nd half and didn't score in the 4th as he sat with a 26 pt lead. The latter game where he went off he played 41 minutes in a much closer effort. We actually lead going into the 4th even without Grant. The 3rd matchup KD went 29-10-5 (12-27) vs. Grant who went 0-9.

We're just going to switch CoJo onto him anyway, so what difference it make?

Just like last year my interest is growing relative to making sure I watch these last games (I see almost all of the games anyway but will miss one here and there due to other plans) just to root for (and hopefully) enjoy a loss.

[zeebneeb]

Scheduled loss.

Hehehe

McGruder did a great job guarding Durant last time, Durant scored 50+, mostly against McGrub, Bey also guarded him last time. So we should repeat and let both guard him, to make sure there's no accident with our tank.

Stewart dropping 3s nowadays

[Manocad]

Stew ate his beef today apparently

[vege]

Start Stewart at SG, 2 problems solved. Now he just need to develop his handles, he can shoot and he is big for a SG.

We could use this version of Drummond, he is playing garbage man, he have a ton o rebounds and only scored on putbacks or out of his offensive rebounds.

We always needed that version of Drummond. Dude just refused to do it here. He was so good his rookie year when he stuck to this role.

Cade have 4 assists in 5 minutes btw

[dVs33]

I really hope stew gives Drummond the business in this one.

[vege]

Even Bagley and Stew hitting 3's lmao

I’d be down for a big body garbage man 5. Don’t want the Drummond attitude tho.

[Cowology]

Stew was 2/3 last game, right? So he's 4 outa his last 5 threes?

[vege]

I want us to get the worst record, but honestly, I wouldn't mind beating Brooklyn, I dislike them a lot.

[Cowology]

Key giving up the body. That's a way to earn more minutes.
