Dan Dickau...  What about Matt Maloney?  Rumeal Robinson?  Enis Whatley?  Come on Spud.. we have had some good ones.

 

Nah, Dickau was my Stockton clone in the same realm as Marvin was my James Worthy.

Rumeal was my baby Timmy too in run TMC.

However, I really think that we don't appreciate Trae Enough

I do. I make posts about how I appreciate the now and how we are blessed to have that kid.

He’s one in a handful of players today that would be tough enough to play consistently in games back in the day. He’s got that IT.

I just don’t want the Nique thing to happen. I want to wait for another emerging star but this summer might be time to get him an all star if we don’t make a deep run.

Travis and the coaches are big eff ups this season, Kirshner says Gallo and John are out.... they're over there going  " no one is going be injured"  no more 4's left...

"Which way did he go, which way did he go?"

Right.  You know I don't like Aly mcBeal but it may be time to bite that bullet if he comes available.  Or Lavine or some other pipe dream.  Don't tell nobody but I got my eye on two situations I think are gonna implode after a(nother) playoff collapse.  See if you can guess who the targets are.

Here's where I agree with folks clamoring for Johnson to have gotten more PT.  To prep for a situation where we desperately need a competent big.

This has been my point all season. He could have gotten spot meaningful minutes for exactly this type of situation.

But you know what Nate will do tonight.....give Knox those minutes and go small with TLC.

I doubt it.   I think we see a frontcourt rotation of Hunter/OO/Capela and dieng.

Then somebody gets in foul trouble and Nate decides to Knox the dust off Kevin.

Meanwhile, Johnson probably down there with the wrong jersey on.  Shiii, why's he gotta get it right.  It's not 10 seconds left in the game in Wisconsin so he knows he ain't gettin' in.

Who gets more minutes tonight? Knox, JJ or TLC?

I'm still thinking it's all zero unless it's garbage time but if i have to pick one i'm going with Knox.

Is he still with us?  I thought that was last year. 
 

I’d play JJ, but Nate won’t.

The answer is Knox. I think.
