    Agreed. I understand why the focus is on the stars especially with LeBron getting paid so much but our supporting cast is awful and has been that way for years if we’re being honest. Always glaring holes in multiple areas.

    It's a bit strange that JJ is playing lineups with one 1 of the big 3 - whether it was luke or lebron last night those units got pasted. Should be way to keep 2 mostly on the floor togheter at all times since AR's minutes restrictions is gone

    They beat Denver the other day without Curry. Again, I’ll take it. I’m also glad we blew them out. Important to do with a back to back tomorrow. Our big 3 all played less than 30 minutes each.

    was nice to see a team cold against us for once. feel like every single night the opposition is on fire, even beyond our bad defense.

    sucks we wasted a good shooting night (lebron was hitting threes!) against the curry-less warriors. we have just a shred of shotmaking, and we're on a three-game win streak right now.

    anyway, hard to gauge anything from a game like that, as i don't think we actually looked that great. we just made shots and they missed.

    ayton really frustrated me throughout. opened the game not getting back on defense and did it several more times. if you'd never seen any of them before, you'd be certain that hayes and kleber were the rotation centers and ayton was the third-stringer. like, how is kleber the more intimidating shot blocker at his age?

    anyway, i'm not supposed to fussing after a blowout win, so...

    kennard still looking like a keeper. just hate that he's another non-defender. still, though, having him instead of gabe (who's also become a non-defender despite reputation) is just a breath of fresh air.

    bufkin looks like an nba player to me. it was garbage time, but he basically got wherever he wanted on the floor, and his shot looks good (even if he bricked his one three, lol).

    I agree that LK is a keeper

    Getting rid of Gabe was icing on the top

    Don't mean s*** to me in a year that's a waste. I'm just hear evaluating players and fit moving forward. This win doesn't mean s*** in the big picture.

    But if it makes you happy beating a team we're supposed to beat, cheer on, my friend.
