That worked, SP. Thanks! I was using Vol's link which worked okay. But Bazz defense was terrible, so I switched to Kodi...

Ugly offense, but at least the defense is, umm... F'ck.

Rubio is 0-3, straight up cut him.

This team looks just plain bad. 20 wins might be accomplishment this season!

Disappointing preseason that's for sure. I guess the good news is the defense has held them to under 100 points the last two games. But what the heck is going on with the offense now? Brutal.

Well, Memphis did play all their top 6 guys and their arena is called the grind house for a reason. I watched a little bit of it but it was just ugly as hell - we committed something like 17 turnovers in the first half alone, which is just terrible.
I agree that we've been disappointing overall and anyone who still thinks this team can win 40+ games (which was totally unrealistic to begin with) hopefully has come back down to earth by now.
That being said, we have played squads that were all playoff teams last year: OKC, Chicago, Toronto twice, and Memphis. We'll close it out with two against Milwaukee - and they aren't chopped liver either.
Then again, I look around the NBA and there are no cupcakes. I think the Sixers are poised to be pretty poor again, but other than them.....I'd have to put us in that next tier up fighting for 20-27 wins with a handful of other teams.

Who's the expected number one pick next season?

Heh....We should be in the mix again, that's for sure.

Payne has a headband - - - - I approve
I completely agree, we need a headband guy. Wow, 68 points. So no Jones or Miller? So Lavine is backup PG again?

Well, I'm not daunted. Rubio getting his feet wet is a good thing, but the lineup and rotations tonight were not representative of what we are likely to see in the regular season.
Although to show it's not all sunny skies in my world, I am concerned with Zach's and Wiggins' shooting thus far in the preseason...
