He looked frustrated as hell after the game....

We need to surround Trae with the best defenders possible like Philly did with Iverson back in the day..

As soon as I saw Huerter, Mays, and TLC in the starting lineup last game.. I knew we were in trouble.. smh

Why kind of a starting lineup is that? lol

Huerter is an overpaid bench guy. Mays is a fringe NBA player, and TLC is just trash...

I feel Traes frustration..

The 10 dayers were way better..

I agree... We overpaid Huerter.  If there is one player from this team that I would trade it's him.  But it still remains, we have to get something good back...  Good for us.

Yep, not only did we have personnel issues with so many guys out but the rotations/lineups were so bad...

Red boxes should not be in the NBA right now, blue boxes had no business starting Monday night.  Somehow two of those boxes overlap.  I'm not sure the rules on re-signing 10 day guys but TLC got outplayed by a couple of them.  He shouldn't be on the roster at this point but I suppose the human element is keeping him there for now.  Mays and Lou should never share the floor with Trae.  I have no idea why we didn't start Wright. 

I hope OO is off minutes restrictions tonight because I think lineups with him and Capela have promise, especially with how much we've been switching on defense.  Rebounding is extra possessions on offense and takes away extra possessions on defense -- can't be understated how much we need rebounding with Collins out even if we have spacing issues on offense.  Rebounding and defending are the two things that Wright does very well and I think it's why he has the season high +/- for the entire bench.

I disagree there because he's very tradeable.  I'd rather sign them and trade them for value than let them potentially walk or snt stuff.   Not that you were suggesting that.   

But until Cam and Hunter can stay on the court Kev is our only choice and has shown that he and Bogi are pretty good together.

And all things considered Kev played pretty decently coming off his covid time.  Kev is a valuable swiss army knife and when the team gets back to semi full strength, we'll need him.

You resign your guys. Otherwise you get labeled as cheap, which is a deathknell for any organization.

Great news, looks like he'll likely be available for the LA game.  Small side note: if Westbrook has a career night against us I might jump off the balcony

[macdaddy]

Curious why he can't get there for the Sac game.

I think they have to endurance tests and stuff. Also, they don't like guys flying the day of a game (before a game). If it were LeBron or Steph, no doubt they would find a way.

The game tonight?  He was cleared I guess around 3, then would have to fly across country to Sac and suit up to play after being out without any practice?

[mrhonline]

Oh, I figured they were just putting all of the guys in separate cars and driving them around the U.S. in hopes they can suit up ASAP.

I’m going to say Westbrook matches Trae’s assists.  Except they’ll be turnovers.

Bogi and Jalen  have cleared,  per  Rowland.
