No LaMelo, Bridges and Martin just went to the locker room?

And no Curry

Green just went to the locker room

So, so, so over micic

Please trade him

Really would like to figure out why Mark so rarely comes out aggressive early. Hope he plays harder in the 2nd but man, he's been so quiet

Y'all remember when we were trying to decide between drafting Scoot Henderson or Nick Smith Jr? I think we made the right decision.

Josh Okogie is about to take us out of the lottery, isn't he?

I’m not sure how we are up this game. We have a G- league team out there. They play hard

Is melo hurt?

Mich_Mercer

I think it’s his wrist. I feel like it’s really just “rest” on the first game of a back to back. I really do wish players didn’t see so much in today’s game. You’d think with all the advancements these days, guys would be healthier?

Chef

It's killing the league

tnhornetsfan

I think his wrist has been sore for a while. Probably why he's been struggling with his shot.

Chef

I get it but something has to give. Either the culture has to be that you play or the league drops to 65 games

Mark is so much better than Jalen duren if he can stay on the court

Mich_Mercer

Lamelo makes Mark Williams a stud.

I think with Tre, Mark would also do well; it is just nobody besides Melo to consistently drive and be a 3-point shot at the same time.

Last night reminded me of the first year with Al Jefferson where no one knew how to feed a pass into the post. But last night was exacerbated by the fact they just kept trying with zero adjustments and we’re effectively just passing the ball to PDX’s frontcourt players. At least in the early Big Al days, they didn’t make the pass or it took him away from the post. Far less damaging than the direct passes to Portland.
