no fast break points for the C's?  that's horrible

[Ogaju]

Early sub, Nesmith in for Langford.  It may not work but I like the move.

This might be a hot take, but I prefer Nesmith on the court over Langford. 

I understand that Langford is a very good defender, but he does absolutely nothing else.  He has no role whatsoever on offense.  Nesmith is probably closer to a neutral defender (though he has improved from the beginning of the season in this regard) but he also rebounds, he hits enough shots to space the floor, and he probably has the best nose for loose balls on this team outside of Smart.  I like Langford's potential but I'd rather roll with Nesmith right now.

That’s a hot take

Kornet looks like he has teleported in from 1955.

Shooters are no good if Smart just keeps jacking them up...

[Indocelts]

If only Smart could learn to take 3 steps forward before taking the 3s.

anyone else getting the impression that Fournier needs a game or two to get back in rhythm if he misses any time?  he's been way off tonight

smart and fournier are 1-11 from 3. that there is the killer.

I fully agree with this assessment, TP.  Especially if Semi is on the floor, we can't have another non-offensive threat out there in the starting lineup.

Not too strange tbh.

Kyreie defending his flat earth theory again?

Hey man, if it's not flat we wouldn't be able to see the other basket.

Payton who?
