What 4thewin said with the note that it was Wes playing with the end of the bench guys and he tweaked an ankle so Clifford took him out

lol.. good point. I still think we need to make a move at some point, but I’m leaning more toward a small splash to upgrade our bench this season. There’s just nobody worth cashing in your chips on this year at the moment. But it is *this league* so that could change any second

A million times this... Fultz, is having such a positive impact on the team as a whole by getting the ball to guys at the right place at the right time consistently. We haven’t had that in years!

Curious what character issues you think he has?

Bamba isn’t meant to play small ball. If we’re still planning to sit him in one night of every back to back, tonight should’ve been that

Decent quarter. There’s no reason we shouldn’t win this game by double digits. 5 turnovers killing us, 20 points in the paint allowed to a team without a Center is kind of sad.

Wonder if Clifford is gonna adjust his rotation at some point and play Isaac or Gordon at the 5 to counter some of these weird lineups

I’m shocked at how bad our defense has been without Vooch

No Wagner or Bryant tonight for the Wizards... I have no idea who they’re gonna play at the 5

What they’re getting at is that our offense is bad, but Washington’s defense is worse. Weird analogy

Carter-Williams will be active and available to play

Gave you an upvote to make up for the downvote. Downvoting someone on an opinion is stupid. I don’t know if Evan can keep playing like this, but he’s currently playing better for longer than he ever has before

Yeah, I also wonder how much of this better play is (ironically) because Vooch is out. We’ve never really played through him like this consistently because it was always bonheaded, ball hog, where’s Nik?! play. He’s been a better playmaker these past 5 games than I can ever remember seeing out of him before.

Yeah, Evan is really throwing off the plan. As of right now, it’s at the point where the starters are good enough, especially when AG gets right, and the bench is where we need to upgrade. Question is, can we upgrade the bench without dealing a starter

Phoenix and Sacramento. Remember, Luka went 3rd (!!!) behind Ayton and Bagley

I just watched it again. 6.3 seconds left, 98-96 game, Alec Burks misses the 2nd free throw, Isaac gets the rebound and Clifford immediately calls a timeout. Resets with Gordon and DJ in for Fultz and Birch and a 5 second inbound violation occurs. Fournier’s layup comes at 9.3 seconds, also after a timeout, but not the one I’m referring to.

This is false. The 5 second violation happened right after the timeout I was referring to.

I disagree on Gordon being our best inbounder. He was awful tonight, bad enough to get benched and then you bring him back in for the most important play of the game? I guess you’re right though, the main mistake was probably bringing DJ in for Fultz cause he just sat in the corner

I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention how Clifford almost (and probably should have) costed us the game tonight. A few foolish decisions in a row. Rushing your last timeout after JI wrangles that rebound, let him get fouled! And then after the timeout, bench Markelle, our best inbounder for AG who turns it over on the inbound. He’s lucky Burks missed that 3 or he’d be getting rightfully torn in to. He’s starting to make a few alarming things a habit.

They also have the best offense and we have a middle of the pack and trending worse defense. Hopefully we win, but I wouldn’t bet on it. Feel like we lose both the Wizards and Suns back to back, which sucks because they should both be winnable games

DJ is the worst player on the team right now. Glad to see TRoss is working his way out of the slump by attacking and not just jacking up 3s. Fultz and Isaac are gonna be special. Fournier is currently our best player. Ugly win, but a win is a win. On to Washington

We just aren’t a good team right now. Hopefully we can pull this one out and keep treading water but there’s a ton of red flags with this team currently

Should be Iwundu until MCW gets back.

Unreal how unlucky we are this season with injuries... tonight is game 19 and already Ross, Isaac, Vucevic, Gordon, Carter-Williams, and now Aminu have missed time. That’s 60% of our 10 man rotation that started the season!
