    I thought most of the 3s in the 1st half were taken without the purpose of penetrating/breaking down the defense first

    Dlo, Lebron and now Vando. Yikes. Heal up soon. We need all three.

    Oh, that's right ...Vando too. Crap!! Hope it's not too bad. He too stayed in the game afterward. That's the risk he has leaping over guys with the long arms to grab rebounds in tight quarters with all the feet where he lands.

    This team consistently is getting killed on the defensive glass it feels like: pretty brutal feeling when they play good D for an entire shot clock only for the other team to get the board.

    It should be size anymore that's the issue but part of me still would like to see some Bamba/Davis lineup for this reason and also just what you can run against the Jokics and Embiid's of the world

    before i read that adams was out, i was hoping ham would try that as the starting lineup against memphis given lebron's absence. but you know he's going to go with schroder/dlo for the duration. he just can't quit it. he'll play davon reed with the starters before playing mo/AD.

    Season is basically over , hopefully the Bucks will be healthy coming playoffs time and prevent the C-bags to win number 18

    bucks, sixers, maybe suns and clippers all have a chance to knock the C Bags off. but it's not looking good.

    i want to believe, but i just think they're a regular season juggernaut who get exposed when rotations get shorter and teams get familiar with them over a long series.

    if we're not going to make it, Jokic vs Giannis would make for a very likable final series.

    Maybe it's the stuff I'm smokin but dare I say........... What if for once stuff goes our way what if this is a blessing in disguise Lakers mesh with AD(28ppg+) and in reality we need 2 or 3 players to avg 8/10+ ppg more ......... Bron less ball stopping/ handling........ that rock gonna move

    Dlo 17+. DS 12+ppg

    Beasley 17+ AR 13+. Lonnie 9+ppg

    Rui 14+. Troy 12ppg+

    Vanderbilt 13+. Bamba 10+ppg

    AD 28+ Gabriel 12+ppg.


    This is WHAT I MYSELF would want to see and as for the + plus signs is only the avg and it could fluctuate I would. Hope the team would take advantage and earn them contracts and bring it starting tonight just fight

    If we had a capable decision maker or organizer of the offense, I think we win this one.

    Without Bron and DLO, it's brutal.
