    we won the first one. A charge on Scoot.

    We lost the second one. A push off by Walker.

    I don't know if it's the return of Simons or what.

    But there's no reason to keep Brogdon anymore. The team isn't better now.

    It wasn't a great call, but it was a horrible challenge.

    lol. Thought that going without a timeout was a smart decision. But shaedon shoulda known that dude woulda tried to step in-- he's been doing it all game. Good learning experience. I'm just glad we didn't lay down and die when down 22.

    I don't think we need to worry about who makes this bad team a little bit better now. We need to worry about what players are needed to build a winner.

    All guard play aside, my biggest concern at the moment is Ayton. This is not a 30+ mil player. Not even close.

    There was no reason to trade for him to begin with. He fucking sucks

    I agree 100%. Sharpe goes straight into contact a lot and obviously the scouting report is out. He can learn and grow from it.

    If he learns and improves from that play tonight, I'm totally ok with the meaningless loss!

    Why the hell is Walker our backup 5 tonight and not Duop or even Brown? Jabari isn't a 5 and can't protect shit when they put him down there

    That's why we got him and Camara for Nurk.

    You don't get a valuable $30m/player for Nurk and Little.

    Also, becoming glaringly obvious that Brogdon needs to go (if it wasn't already). Whatever he's helping Scoot with behind the scenes, he's taking away plays/playing time on the court.

    No, he's not. Not sure how he made it to the NBA.

    He's a point guard. How many of those do we have on the team right now? He's not playing his true position. When he did, he played good.
