    The replays were good...but the music during the game was extremely annoying. I had to turn off the sound as well.

    We need a game thread for tomorrow. I can't believe we only have one pre-season game left.
    There is no chemistry right now on offense. Rotation-wise, they need to treat the Utah game like it counts, at least for the first 3 quarters.

    I'm probably not the first person to think this, but he has good games when he's playing sub-par competition...

    Hopefully, and I'm only somewhat confident in this, the days where the teams both play, there is zero Krappen broadcast stuff on 620, unless the games are *hours* apart (I.e., one game at noon, the other at 7)

    I would guess that they would move simultaneous Kraken games over to 1190 (iHeart Media's only other AM station).

    This is concerning, it's Nurkic-like level of shitty around the rim finishing

    man you're 7-3, dunk the fucking ball

    Doesn't everyone?

    I just think he played "slower" than he normally does, but with a change of speed. He didn't try to force things as much.
    I assume that if ULM had better rim protectors, his shooting percentage would have been worse, but besides that he just seemed more relaxed and methodical. Low bar for sure, but none-the-less he has looked better each game.

    Concerning might be a bit of an overreaction. It's his 3rd game. In his other 2 games, he was 8-14, and in those games he was 7-9 from 2.

    So maybe, tamp down the concern?

    You watched something that I simply didn’t see in those highlights. I counted one time he was in a position to dunk and chose a finger roll that missed. The first one he made which was Nurks problem. The rest were either contested or defensive rebounds?

    You “guess” 33 wins? You believed this amount of talent and our current situation will honestly lead to 33 wins?

    He had maybe his best game last year against the Bucks.
