There is absolutely zero reason for this to be even decently close right now.

About as clear a blocking foul as you'll ever see by Smart there.

Come on announcers, at least try to call the game. There's a limit to "stretching" the truth.

Seriously.

Getting sick of Brad letting crap teams hang around.

These guys are in their twenties. It’s okay to let them play basketball.

Oh good, replay center time.

I love those, I've always thought we should slow down the game and try to mimic baseball's speed given how popular that game is these days and how much fans love their time being wasted.

Morris, as has been mentioned by many, really helps that 2nd Unit score.

Depth is great to have, but some guys aren't going to play a lot. And Stevens ran a lot of guys bigger minutes early in the year than he wanted to. He knows this team is in it for the long haul.


In the fourth quarter with the lead dwindling and it’s around 7 minutes to go, that’s not the time to rest the best player on the team.


I'm gonna trust Stevens judgement more than any of ours on how much and when guys should play. Remember it is also a 1:00 PM start. These guys are way out of their regular rhythm.

Easily, he doesn't even look like that good an athlete. Laughing my ass off when I think about the smug face Ryan had when he drafted him.. :lol: :lol:
Good assessment:
