    What is the benefit of winning 33 games instead of 23?

    Yeah there isn't one, we need to finish in the bottom three especially this season and Joe just isn't willing to do what needs to be done to get us there in a way that makes sense and doesn't include Jerami Grant sitting out half of his 11th season in the league. Let's hope Joe pulls his head out of his ass before the trade deadline but since he's been straddling the fence this long, I'm no longer holding my breath.

    There is none. Unless we can move Grant and Simons for draft capital and Camras ASAP. Then it would be okay.

    As a player, its ten more wins to build confidence off of.
    As a coach, its likely a sign of improvements being made, to continue to build off of.

    As a fan that's 10 more wins to celebrate!

    The real question is, why didn't we draft Brandon Miller

    Got to give him time. I would imagine at 20 Toumani was nothing special

    seems like Scoot's best sustained stretch of games with solid production and efficiency was the end of last season....when Ant wasn't playing

    How many minutes are those two sharing on the court together?

    last year, in the last 25 games or so I was talking about, none

    this season, 14 minutes a game; about 55% of Scoot's minutes

    And a point guard has a much more cerebral job which requires more maturity.

    Interesting... is the a significant difference in his production during those 14 minutes vs the minutes without him?

    Does Ant's productivity go up or down?
