    For the poll question: With Nas out none of the guys you listed should be getting more playing time. In theory Snell brings the things that we will be lacking because of Nas's injury but in practice that has not been the case so I kindly suggest that you ad CJ Elleby to the list so I can select him. Unless there are big trades we aren't doing shit this season, so develop CJE and get the effort and developing shooting that Nas was bringing... just at a far lower level.

    We let the fucking Rockets back in our last game, don't get me wrong it made things more exciting but it also sent a pretty clear message to me that we pretty much suck. The Bulls are going to beat the brakes off us in all likelihood. We do have NBA caliber players so any given game we could pull off an upset so I'll be routing for one. That being said the Bulls probably got this one.

    Can Nurk have another good game.
    Will Blazer Broadcasting name CJ the player of the game again?
    Stay tuned for all this and more with Chauncey and Friends.

    Elleby should get at least 15 minutes every night now with Nas out.

    Lol do I want to actively try to lose games? No. But it looks like options in place of Nas are Snell or Elleby. So if we’re gonna suck, may as well play the young guy. Snell shouldn’t even be in the league anymore tbh

    Tanking, and yet I'm still probably going to have this on the big screen and the NFL game on the ipad. Hopelessly addicted.

    If we are truly in tank mode then I vote Blevins.

    The offense in the first 7 minutes has been straight fire. Unbelievable.

    Offense was good good ball movement with 10 assist. Now the defense was so so we did hold down under 30 points.

    I know i have said this before; but no matter who the coach is, our guys cannot stay tight on the corner three shooters. And i Know the coaches are talking about it all the time.

    Love to see Watford improving every game. Definitely has a great feel for the game. He just needs a consistent jumper.
