    Beasley was alright for a minute, then he lost his confidence for some reason. Around the same time Lebron came back?
    I liked Lonnie too, did he sign for the minimum? I like him more than Reddish, but Dennis keeps betting on himself, and coming up a bit short it seems.

    lonnie went for vet min (shouldn't have, he played better than that last year, imo). i wanted to keep him, too.

    not sure what motivates schroder; he's definitely a strange dude. i'd gladly take him back, but how many teams have to decide he's a backup before he buys it? will he just go to europe for slightly less cash after this contract?

    Shay is questionable for the Lakers game with a sprained right knee.
    At the same time, they are playing B2B against the Lakers and Clippers.

    Questionable does not mean "most likely out". That would be "doubtful". Questionable usually means 50%.

    Out
    Doubtful
    Questionable
    Probable
    Available

    In today's NBA nobody knows anymore what status of players especially with new requirements for All star and all related bonuses,corona rules,etc...

    Questionable with the Lakers could mean they're playing, Bron is questionable almost every game, or they're dead like Nunn.

    If D'Angelo wants to stick around, he needs to mend amends with Lebron IMO. Funky body language and chemistry going on with those two, he won't win that test of wills.

    He told Ham he was sick of his s*** and that's what coach extracted from that quote... probably.

    Well." The lineup we'll be using for the foreseeable future " could mean that a trade isn't imminent. The ball remains in D'Angelo's court IMO. I think he has at least a couple of weeks to show and prove.

    Nice to see Dlo back in the starting lineup and I thought he delivered tonight. Too many uncharacteristic turnovers but other than that pretty solid. 14 points, 6 assists, 2 boards, 2 steals. Not bad. And we got the W.

    We’re such a better team with DLo in the starting lineup.

    Ham begs to differ and counts every second until Cam becomes available :Laugh:

    Far as I’m concerned … start DLO with Reaves too like last year. The offensive dynamic with the two of them is special and better for the whole team on offense overrriding their defense … but to make that work Vando needs to be back in there too now that he’s looking more like himself on D again.

    That’s it. I thought we were valuing continuity since we brought all these guys back. We still haven’t even seen last year’s starting lineup that won like 65% of their games and took us from 13th in the West all the way to the WCF!

    yeah, but can they do it TWICE?! i can't believe we're here right now. we were on a nice, sensible 50-win pace 1/4 of the way through the season, despite the injury issues. then just a nose dive born largely of incompetence from several angles.
