You guys say that these games don't have significant meaning, but then try to say we acquired KG at the deadline to get his great mentoring and intensity on the floor for the young guys the rest of the year. Which is it? One of those two is false so stop playing both cards. "Culture change", "mentoring", "defensive presence". Let's add a new one: "top cheerleader".

The young guys are getting major burn right now and KG is not on the court. You can't directly impact development if you're wearing warmups on the bench. Sorry to break it to you.

(PS: I hope Thad scores 30 tonight.)

KG, Pek and Rubio all expected to sit tonight. There is no question at all anymore...Flip is in FTM (full tanking mode).

I predict Mark Madsen signs a 10-day contract this week to help with our 3-point shooting.

I don't like tanking. But at least you have to give Flip this much - he has a plan and is executing it. There is at least one player in this draft who he has identified and targeted, and he is hell bent on making sure we can get him. There is something about this that makes me feel good.

It sounds like you are rationalizing bad behavior, but hey, don't we have to in order to remain fans of this franchise.

Not sure if this was mentioned in here yet, but in morning shoot around Thad Young confirmed that he was going to opt OUT after this season and wasn't necessarily happy here with the franchise turning towards youth development over contending for the playoffs.

Yeah, I heard that. Well, he's better off back in the East where almost EVERY team is contending for the playoffs!

Zach needs to be better at PnR by now. His passing is garbage.

Can we please see Brown run the point with LaVine/Wiggins/Payne/Dieng.

Please! Make this loss worth my time!
