Country Club!!!!!!!! Hey at least he is nice right. Hahaha

Nice game from Wiggins and Kat.

Kek, Just a little bit of reality here. Canaan played 31 minutes tonight. Okogie 30 (are you one of the Okogie is going to be great posters?). Luol Deng 31. Two, maybe all three of those guys shouldn't be in the league. I know you're hurt over the Thibs firing, but busting Saunders chops for this performance really isn't a good look. I root for Ryan but reallize he's up against it right now. No matter what, he's twice as good as the bellowing ogre we had prior.

Your last statement has to be a fucking joke.

The Pelicans beat us without playing Davis in the 4th. The pelicans were missing 3 starters from the majority of their year in Mirotic, Payton, Moore. They also didn't have Okafor who has been great lately.

Are you telling me Frazier, Stanley Johnson, williams are good players come on cool.

This is after we lost to Conley and his G League team. And getting our ass kicked by a bad Orlando team.

Our 2 max guys are currently playing. Win the game. Cannon has started games in this league. Once again injuries hurt but we are making excuses. We have 2 max guys on our roster and we are losing to teams trying to lose on purpose.

I know injuries hurt but i'm not letting this team off the hook. People blamed thibs so fucking much. We have fired him. We are 6 and 9 since the firing. Only beating 1 playoff team. People told me everything will be good. Thibs is the problem, well now we suck ass. We have loss 5 of 6.

Once again I am over exaggerating the blame on Saunders. It is a player's league. But people told me everything is fine thibs is gone. Well i'm not having fun. We suck and i'm sick of stupid excuses for this pathetic franchise

So when RoCo comes back who loses the minutes between Taj, Dario and Deng? Or does Dieng lose some minutes?

Yep. Tyus/Wig/Rob/Saric/Kat to finish the year.

Ryan already started Canaan instead of starting Teague. I mean it made sense with teague on a minutes restriction but Thibs would have likely started Teague.

Van Gundy is interesting amusing maddening and speaks some truth.

Yes bottom line is regardless of all the circimstances we are now losing games and we should be desperate to win them. I don't think it's a definite statement on Ryan Saunders but ya lot help his case or the roster or whatever. Wolves got their butt handed to them by some guy I bet nearly nobody had heard of in that williams guy. Kinda sucks. The good news was even though it was an uneven performance that probably looked better on the stat sheet that reality Wiggins did shit. It obviously wasn't enough. AD beat Towns onnthe boards in this game after Towns took it to him the last game.
