[Chris Craig]

Can Chauncey finally get a win vs the assistant coach?

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Last game against Denver was probably the best game Ant and Ayton have played together this whole season. Will be interested how they follow it up.

Will Deni keep getting few minutes while being possibly our best player?

Will Sharpe play well? Has had a couple solid games lately.

Will Clingan and Rob both get about 10 minutes while Ayton gets 35?

Is Scoot a lost cause?

Scoot is not a lost cause.

 

[tlongII]

Be fun to see Wemby vs Clingan.

 

[MickZagger]

Bueller?

 

[Cugel]

DC isn’t a good matchup with VW

 

[Cugel]

Sick dunk by Shae

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Shaedon having a great game.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

How does Ayton always seem to manage it so he isn't guarding Wemby?

 

[blazerfan11]

Sharpe is 7 -9 in this game, for the first half.

The rest of the team was 11- 40, 27%.

 

[inconceivable]

Sick dunk by Shae

Sick pass by Camara

 

[blazerfan11]

Sick pass by Camara

It would be nice to see a lot more of those.

 

[illmatic99]

Ayton makes such marginal contact on his screens

 

[jlprk]

Sharpe is 7 -9 in this game, for the first half. The rest of the team was 11- 40, 27%.

Ayton was next-best, 4 for 8. He should be a power forward. He's good at 8-footers.

 

[B-Roy]

We have 3 viable centers but I can’t stand watching the most useless one play 35 mpg. Good lord.

 

[Cugel]

I guess Billups is not playing Deni much tonight. Wtf? He is without question the best all around on the team. Makes no sense to me. Grant is doing nothing so why not bench him and develop the young talent?

Because they want to"maintain value."

 

[B-Roy]

Surely 2/12 Grant with 5 points no rebounds does not need to play 30 minutes in a blowout?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Tank Tank Tank
Tank Tank Tank
Tank your Booty... Booty...

You show 'em Jabari!

Showcasing Grant, he will be traded

 

[Bingo Bango]

Jerami Grant: 30 minutes, 0 rebounds.

 

[blazerkor]

Showcasing Grant, he will be traded

Let's hope so.

Our team just didn't have the effort needed tonight IMO. You have Shae as hot as he's been in any games and we don't go to the hot hand enough. We lost to a better team but a lot of our guys played lazy defense, and stupid offense... especially in the second half and there just doesn't seem to be enough want to.

I don't wanna hear about it from Cronin anymore. This is the last deadline he gets to move these vets because they are retarding the development of bigger priorities on our team. Even if you need to attach a second or two. It's time to move on and let this team take the next step forward.

 

[SheedSoNasty]

I like to watching Shae have a good game on offense. It helps having to stomach losses. If only Scoot could do the same.

The results for Scoot were mixed but I do think his process was much better tonight. He needs to push the pedal and keep the pressure by getting into the paint.

And develop some kind of floater or step back mid range shot

 

[wizenheimer]

the off-season followed by the season just seem so fucking pointless right now

Tonight was tough with Wemby swatting everything
