Gallo has his second best game of the year. Bravo!

He actually even played defense in the 4th quarter and god knows we needed it.

LP was honestly one of the worst coaches of All Time in the NBA

 

And that's not hyperbole

Lon Kruger tier for sure.

Shout out to Huerter- he had 2 big offensive rebounds in the late 4th that gave us 2nd chance 6 points and a block on the other end.

We kinda have a big problem when Cam gets healthy.

Snell CAN'T go back to the bench.  You almost have to start him, even if you reduce his minutes.  His defense isn't as good as Cam's, but his shooting is 10x better, and he doesn't make mistakes.  He's the type of knockdown shooter that Trae needs to pass to.

Bogi and Huerter are going to play.  So i guess Cam takes Solo's minutes?

And when Hunter comes back, the minutes get even shorter for the wings.

 

But never mind all of that. 

WE just won 2 games in a row.

 

Snell deserves to start. He would balance out the starting lineup so you dont have a ton of youth all at once on the wings. 

If Im going based on consistency alone, Im starting Snell and Dre together. Kev has really stepped it up lately though too. He is a much better basketball player now than he was when he was first reinserted as a starter.

When its all said and done, when healthy, all of our wings need to be played on a hot hand/ matchup basis only. If Cam cant hit, he got to sit. That goes for everyone.

But Dre and Snell right now are the 2 steadiest wings we have had all season. They should get first dibs as starters together.

Tony Snell was clutch.

He's just a pro's pro. Plays within himself, knows what he's good at, and where his spots are. His steadiness is much needed.

LP would've thrown in the towel down 16 with 6 min to go..Probably pulled the starters cause they were tired..smh

Can we extend A’Capella until he’s 30, today?

[bleachkit]

Big thumbs down to OO. Fumbling passes and out of position on defense. Two turnovers. Zero points. Huge disappointment so far.

And re-sign Snell for whatever it takes.

Onyeka won't be this bad forever, he'll eventually improve and at least be playable... I hope.

Dont forget Bogi.....and Solo

[Lurker]

Good comeback...

[Sothron]

I think it was 1-232 for being down by 16 with 5 minutes or something left. I believe we were the one team that lost that game before. Amazing comeback win.

If anyone had doubts about Nate I hope this helps to eradicate them. I believe he's 4-1 now?
