    I have already said multiple times that since they decided to live in purgatory, they need to add a vet front court player that has playoff experience. Hopefully someone that can play the 4 and 5

    They also need to stop relying on the 3 without going inside first

    You're hardly alone in your suggestion about getting a vet big man, and I'm sure that Olshey is looking to see if there's a deal that make sense before the deadline. As for your second suggestion, I disagree that they don't do that. About 50% of the time they look to enter the ball to LMA. OTOH, the reason that they shoot threes so much is that they're damned good at making them. Percentage-wise, they're making them at a high clip and it beats taking mid-range jumpers.

    Look on the bright side. 2 losses in a row moves up our draft position.

    Oh yeah. I forgot.

    Did we ever find out why Lopez didn't play in the 4th?

    He's just back to being wildly inconsistent.

    I'd like to see this team make a move for Deng who's on the block.

    Uh oh. You shouldn't have done that.

    Questioning Batum doesn't fly on this forum.

    Someone made an interesting point about him on another forum. He hardly sweats... I have concerns about his body language and that angry scowl he has on his face. What does that mean? Is basketball hell for him or what?

    Idk about any of that, but it's mostly what you and craigehlo have said.

    He's inconsistent and looks like he loses interest. It's just who he is.

    Now I'm running for the hills before the S2 Mom's start berating me. Negative talk about their kids is not allowed.
