Might be wrong, but I think he was part of the Horford trade.

not good news :(

Wanted SGA to sit out against Bulls/Wolves/Rockets

Bazley coming back or not isn't gonna change a lot...it's sad but we don't miss him.

I would rather shai play and we win than him have a serious injury. Convincing him to sit out with borderline fake injuries is about all I can ask.

For us Americans, it’s easy to confuse him with Vit Krejci.

Between Muscala being DNP’d for Moses and the generous rest schedules we’re already giving out, safe to say we’re doing everything we can the second half of the year to rack up the L’s

We will see soon enough (games against Bulls, Wolves, Rockets etc.)

Main problem is that the other bad teams aren't winning games :(

Starters look decent but I don’t foresee anyway the bench doesn’t collapse.

Think the same.

Still impressed how some ''bad'' player that don't play a lot with each other are making the right passes/assists. You have to credit the coaching staff at one point...

I guess clutch fourth quarter Poku threes are a regular occurrence now.

Pokusevski has to be more sure of himself when he's driving the basketball, lots of time he beats his man off the dribble and is afraid to go to the end, he should attack the rim , draw the foul, but I guess that will come as he gets more comfortable, I think he could be a positive team defender in the future, he has good instincts and he's using the length well .

well if you improve that much with less than 2 months with the Blue, Bazley should go to the G League as well.

If we are going to win, seeing poku and shai play well is somewhat comforting. I don’t think there is any saving the tank at this point. The tank has sailed and sunk to the bottom of the ocean.

He seems to be looking to pass more than shoot which is good at this point. Getting stronger this offseason will help that.

I think we will at some point but I doubt it happens this year.

Feel like worst 7 record is our best case scenario right now (30% at top 4)

More likely to win end up with 9-10 worst record :(
