    Boy, that ended almost as badly as that preseason game against Utah.

    He's fucking terrible. I wouldn't count on that changing anytime soon. Nor his employment status with us. Olshey will probably give him a 5 year extension.

    Jake with 7 points on 4 shots in very limited minutes. Then Stotts puts him in for mop up duty in the last 20 seconds. That's crap!

    What a brutal end. That foul by Zach on Dragic killed all our momentum. Meyers losing that key rebound and CJ's bricks late just cemented the outcome.

    3-2. Let’s split the next 2 and then run the table at home.

    It scares me how much Nurk has been a liability so far this year, they just gave him a contract, and he looks awful. He's been benched in 3(?) 4th quarters. The wizards 4th quarter and OT where he did play he got torched. Ultimately every team loses some games, but my take away from the first couple weeks is mostly that I'm really disappointed in Nurk's lack of development.

    CJ has been a huge liability so far this season. Really disappointing.

    I agree that Layman should get a bit more love in the rotation.

    The way we lean on Dame and CJ when we go down is bullshit. I’d rather lose games getting guys used to moving the ball than having to rely on hero ball.

    I trash CJ, and he was garbage again, but it’s up to the coach to put him in check.

    Yeah, I'm very concerned about this too. But until the coaching staff changes completely, he's probably not going to develop more than this.

    Layman 4-5 from the field and 2-2 from 3-pt range in the last two games in just 17 minutes. Not sure what else he is supposed to do in such limited minutes?
