    Dame needs a ring like Clyde, trade him now and start the rebuild

    I’m thinking he’ll get plenty of burn in the 2nd half

    That's why Winslow needs to play with Nurkic. He makes Nurk a threat to score on every possession that the defense has to react, or get scored on.

    Remember when people were gung-ho about Hart (after 13 games)?

    Where is that player now? He's abysmal.

    He has to pass Drexler in scoring first.

    Exactly. What's the objective? Are we trying to build familiarity? Iron out trouble spots? Get guys who are going to be or could be in the rotation ready to play?

    It just looks like a glorified conditioning scrimmage.

    He can do that after we've drafted Wendayama.

    I really don't think our height was the issue. Most of their 3's were wide-open shots. If they are 3-4 feet away from a player on the perimeter, do 3 inches really matter?
    Same with whoever was guarding Murray.

    Longer players can close out faster. Plus, Huerter hit a few shots that were contested.

    Dame (Ant) gets broken down off the dribble. Defense rotates. Doesn't seem to communicate. Ball finds the guy outside the arc with no one in his zip code and he hits the 3. Rinse. Repeat.

    There is no reason Billups can't move Hart to SG and put Winslow at SF in the starting unit.

    "I positively expect 33 wins to be a generous estimate."

    Well, as much as I'd like to see Sharpe get another incredible 3 minutes of playing time, I'm tired (and tired of this game) so I'm heading to bed.

    <sigh> Horrible having any excitement for he season sucked out in the preseason - usually it lasts until at least 3-4 games into the season.

    You’ll never know now right. Enjoy what’s on the menu.
