So when DOES Aminu come back? Any news on him?

So when DOES Aminu come back? Any news on him?

He's been practicing, just not full out.

 

[Five Second Violation]

Our starting backcourt is 8-29 yet we are ahead.

 

[PDXFonz]

Whiteside really does have a nice touch.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Get ready for some snow! Sounds like we will get some challenging weather next week.

Seriously? Gonna have to check the forecast.

 

[KingSpeed]

Cippy- if it makes you feel better, we got off to big leads against GS and LAC early in the season, but Turner pissed the, away and we got blown out. Trust me. When Aminu is back, we will be better. That starting five has the best +/- in the league. No joke.

 

[KingSpeed]

Been a long time since we held a team under 100. We have a chance tonight.

 

[julius]

But do you at least agree that the team will be noticeably improved when Aminu comes back? Would you be surprised if Aminu came back next game and we ended up going 14-6 in our next 20?

Bold = Currently over .500

@CHI, @ MIL, @MEM, @IND, @LAC, OKC, @DEN, @GSW, @SAC, DAL, SAS, TOR, SAC, @SAS, @MIN, @GSW, LAL, DET, @ LAL, CLE.

I would be very surprised, in fact I suspect they stand a better chance at going 6 and 14 over the next 20.

 

[KingSpeed]

Turner is a +13. McRoberts is a +21. Crazy.

 

[Tunchi]

Miami is hella weak

 

[BigGameDamian]

Seriously? Gonna have to check the forecast.

Yep and not just on Monday.

 

[KingSpeed]

I would be very surprised, in fact I suspect they stand a better chance at going 6 and 14 over the next 20.

I'm thinking 12-8.

 

[Tunchi]

If we were nice we woulda smashed this weak ass team

That's just the thing though. So far this year when things are going good they seem great, but when they are going bad its a complete shit show. They need to find a way to be more consistent, even if it means settling down in the middle ground.

[KingSpeed]

I wonder what has happened to Sinobas. He's been gone awhile now.

 

[Jade Falcon]

We should be wasting these assholes.

If we had a Center not named Meyers Leonard, we'd be dominate. We seriously needed Whiteside this off-season.

 

[KingSpeed]

That's just the thing though. So far this year when things are going good they seem great, but when they are going bad its a complete shit show. They need to find a way to be more consistent, even if it means settling down in the middle ground.

The difference is we played great with Aminu but not Turner. Soon, we will have both helping the team.

 

[KingSpeed]

Great game by Crabbe

 

[KingSpeed]

Great D Crabbe

 

[DUB]

Their 3P% has lifted since half time, our has dropped. They have started getting more free throws, we have slowed down.

 

[julius]

you notice that Crabbe went UP to block instead of towards the players face, and blocked the shot.

 

[KingSpeed]

Turner's D is awesome

 

[julius]

Damian just doesn't have it tonight.

 

[KingSpeed]

great d

 

[julius]

Hope that wakes him up.

 

[Darkwebs]

Dame comes back in and within a couple minutes we are back in it

 

[KingSpeed]

YES

 

[DUB]

That's just the thing though. So far this year when things are going good they seem great, but when they are going bad its a complete shit show. They need to find a way to be more consistent, even if it means settling down in the middle ground.

I think that's just being young. High highs, low lows; lack of a middle ground. It makes watching the team exhilarating.

 

[julius]

Damian has been uncharacteristically bad from the line in the last few games.
