Damn you, Silas.

 

While still a lot of head scratchers from our head coach, KPJ & Nix pissing me off, this was a great game. We showed hustle, grit, fight, did not back down, did not take anything from those clowns and played great D in stretches. Good to see Jalen have a solid game again, Bruno showing some hustle like he never left, Garuba with the outlet pass, but the 3 guys that truly shined were Jabari, Mathews and KJ FREAKING MARTIN!!! We all saw what they did, Mathews on defense in particular was earning his stripes. If he keeps that up, he can be part of the rotation over Nix and we just need to make sure a combination of KPJ, Ego and Green are on the court at all times.

Jabari followed up his Warriors game with another very strong game and not taking no **** from Murray, the cockiest and most obnoxious player in the league, bar none. That Banchero off-season disrespect continues and I hope the media tears him a new one. What has that guy won? And even then, what a punk. Hope next time Jabari takes some jabs at that smug face of his. And then we drag that RAT Trae by his disgusting hairdo and drag him through the mud too.

But the game ball goes to KJ fellas. The offensive rebounding in particular was very crucial to us winning as well as just attacking the basket with force. This guy needs to be starter already, don't care if Ego is not happy and gets his feelings hurt. Granted, he plays very well and fits maybe even better with the Goon squad, but don't care. He has earned it after all the nonsense his father started. Very positive game and most of our issues were rotations, youth and individual mistakes. We'll be fine!

 

Okay? How do you explain Mathews getting minutes tonight? We still very much need shooting on this team. Gordon is our most experienced vet, Why would he not start? His shot is still better than KJs. Alpi is getting rest tonight, sheesh man. Relax. And Alpi has been playing and will continue to get his minutes.

Bro do you think professionals actually care what this board thinks? Give credit for what? Coaches see so much more than we do. They dont just make decisions like its a video game.

 

I think a key takeaway from this game is that as big a game as Mattews had, it’s just some ho-hum 11 point outing without his 9-9 FT stat. Getting to the line and making your FTs is huge.

 

missed the game. wat context of this?

 

EG should be the backup point guard.

 

lelz. murray should get violently bent and end his season already.

 

No but it is good to know that a portion of fans are knowledgeable even though the TC isn't packed every time.

Gary is a streaky shooter that Silas has taken under his wing but I assume he knows that Gary isn't a championship piece.

 

Trae Young is trash. Thinks he's Curry. Looks super suspect too

 

@SamFisher

 

I missed the game, does Jabari still suck

 

He doesn’t… At all!!!

 

He shouldn't play 1 more minute until traded, the league knows what he can do, we should protect him by not playing him at all.

WALL him up!

I think I agree. It is time to move on. Wish him all the best

 

Murray thought he was at the Pro AM and tapped Jabari Smith on the head after he scored on him. Jabari took offense
