    Yes. He pulling a James Harden.

    With Tucker’s regression and Cousins looking terrible this team has no depth at all.

    Add Injury concerns with Wall, Dipo, and Wood and this team is going nowhere.

    One thing I noticed is that Gordon refuses to pass or kick out when he drives which makes him so predictable when he drives. Another thing is that they fail to give Wood his touches until the defense is already fully set which makes him a jump shooter exclusively.

    They can't play boogie and bmac much, like I get why they play Boogie, but all he's good at this point is being big and passing...can't do much more outside of that. I don't mind trying him out for a minute or two but once it's clear he's not having a flashback night on the bench he goes.

    Bmac is just a spot up shooter, doesn't give you anything else.

    Gordon is the king of complaint for a foul but never getting a tech. Like he complains for fouls on every drive but I guess he doesn’t do enough to warrant a tech.

    I feel like he should go for it and get a tech. Looking around in bewilderment is not going to do anything lmao

    Ideally you’d have an all star point guard to feed him.

    Players I trust (in order):

    Wood
    Dipo
    Tate
    Gordon
    Brown
    Nwaba
    Jones
    Tucker (he's been slacking the whole year)

    Players that give me a sinking feeling when they are within 10 feet of the ball:

    Cousins
    McLemore

    I’m guilty, for this game, anyway. I’m usually an optimist, but it’s tempting to say that what we’re seeing is a beautifully designed tank job. Really nice stretches of play followed by some key substitutions, followed by a collapse at both ends of the court. Rinse and repeat.

    Naw, we couldn’t possibly be doing that!
    (could we?)

    This is exactly what I feared would happen. Dipo and Gordon think they are stars and are chucking and completely ignoring Wood who is the star and Silas is doing nothing.

    Really unimpressed by Booker.

    Suns might be fools gold.

    Tate and Nwaba should start. Give Kurucs and Brown bench mins. I dont wanna see Tucker on the court anymore he hasnt had a good game all season.

    Gordon has never hit a 3 after a pump fake his entire time in Houston.
