    I believe he's talking about Avdija. Somebody compared him to Hezonja

    I have more patience for him but tonight was the kind of game that was so ugly anyone who watched it had their patience tried by all of the players on both teams.

    I don't enjoy watching Grant and Simons. I catch games when I can, but as long as Grant and Simons are playing big minutes for us and dominating the offense with their chucker mentality I don't make it a priority.

    Yep. Glad they lost, as that's best for our future. But I didn't need to see that.

    We are knocking the vets a lot tonight but i think we have to also admit that Scoot was really bad tonight.

    That's okay. I expect him to have games like that.

    looks like it...but

    Scoot was playing in his 68th game. Grant has played in 703 games; Ayton 409; Simons 339.

    Scoot had played 6 fairly solid games until the stinker tonight and it's certain that those 3 vets had plenty of stinkers before they had hit the 70 game mark

    At least Hezonja didn't cost us a pick that could be at the top of the lottery.

    I guess on the bright side for our pick - our big 3 has been so bad they might have a chance to lose us more games than if they were gone.

    We'll still have one that's higher but I agree it looked like an overpay and seems to be one. That being said, I don't hate Deni's game. He has some fixable problems that if fixed would make him a starting level role player on a good team down the road.

    It’s so basic and antiquated

    It comes down to his 3pt shooting. 4 years he's been bad and one he was good. He doesn't have value to a contender if he can't hit that shot.

    Saying this for years
    My kitten was 50 feet up a tree for two days. A couple of EMTs wanted to come out in the middle of the night with headlamps to brainstorm a way to get her down, so I was out in the woods with them.

    EPILOG: The kitten came down by herself this morning, after three fire companies weren't able to get her and I had to cut down a beloved walnut tree.

    Showed we can hang, then lost by a little. Developing young players, Perfect. Hope this is a recurring theme.
