Refs did a great job to get Charlotte this one.

Ya know what I really do like about walker (considering all the trade talk), is he's really willing to give up the ball, even on a break. He doesn't NEED to make the passing assist, a la Steve Nash.

There might be something here with Dragan at the 5.

Too bad. Tank game too strong.

He would have to put some muscle on but he has size and skill to be a modern 5.

I like the big L. I'm tanking all season. But jj looked good, bender too, really all that matters.

- all key for the future players did well
- the game was competitive and fun to watch
- a L to boost the tanking

A+ for the game

Sucks to see booker be hurt and struggle like this, he needs to rest and get better. But watching Jackson turn it up like and seeing the glimpse of what he could potentially do on a nightly basis is very encouraging.

Sad that I’ve joined the tank party this season... great loss for us.

Blaming the refs for this game is a weak excuse.

You can't be as careless with the ball as we are and expect to win games. 19 turnovers to 8. That's the story of the game. That and the second chance points. I know it's ironic to say this after giving up 115, but I thought our defense was encouraging.

Well, the tank is strong, I did not expect to lose after being up by 21.
TJ with a usual quiet good game, Booker as well until his injury. However hats off to JJ and Bender. JJ never quits, and made tremendous improvements in his first season. Quick as a cat, knows how to play basketball, and wants it badly. I can't wait to see his next games, and really looking forward to him breaking out after the ASG with a bit of rest and more practice. 4 straight games with 20+ ppg, excellent FT%, ok fg% overall. Showing why we drafted him.
Bender having a good game as well! 3s are becoming a norm, and he dribbles more, takes it to the hole, even had a jam in (kinda) traffic. He could be a very nice strech big, even a starting C on a good team.
So not all hope is lost! Tank rolls on.

I think I found the problem, we needed to play ulis/Daniels/house/dudley more.

JMac1 · Post #96 » by **JMac1** » Sun Feb 4, 2018 10:34 pm

Great game fellas. Awesome tank job by Triano. JJ and Bender balled and we took a L. Sit out 3-4 weeks B money.

LukasBMW · Post #97 » by **LukasBMW** » Sun Feb 4, 2018 10:39 pm

Y'all already got it covered but...

Bender at the 5 = win
JJ and Bender starting to put up numbers = win
Booker and TJ are still studs = win
Another great loss to ensure we get a high pick = win

Positionless Basketball next year?

Booker
JJ
TJ
Chriss
Bender

A shooting guard and 3 forwards. LOL

Went to the game today, pretty happy with the outcome. Wins are definitely nice, but it’s good to walk away with our young players all playing as well as they did. The refs were god awful today. We did the heavy lifting to let them back in, but they gave a nice few nudges.

Like the aggression from Bender carrying over to this game. Still would like for him to get a few more shots up and be a bit more careful with his passes, but I really liked what I saw.

Josh made a few bad turnovers, but still happy with how he looked today. 4 straight 20 point games now too. He’s going to be a beast in the paint once he puts some good weight on.

Hope Book’s okay, that was a rough hit he took. Would have helped a lot to have him out there at the there, but we need to keep him healthy.

The tank crew can carry them to the top 5 pick they need. It's to the point where ulis better get all his family and friends out to see him the rest of these games because this might be it as far as his NBA career goes. Seems like a nice dude but not an NBA player.

Is Dudley a secret tank agent? Maybe part of his multi million dollar mentor contract also comes with making sure they pick high.

I don't hate daniels but if they get a chance to clear his salary to a team looking for a shooter they might as well do it and give reed his minutes.

Very good games from JJ and Bender
