NSJ is what Bouknight was supposed to be, an iso guy that can get you a bucket.

I don’t like Nick Smith bringing the ball up the floor or running the offense but I do like him as a combo guard that you can toss the ball to and tell him to go get you a bucket.

He kind of reminds me of Cam Thomas.

Running the point this summer is what's held him back I think. But yeah, that game may be the end of Bouk.

NSJ and Miller were a lot of fun to watch last night. Looking forward to both getting 1st team minutes with Melo facilitating.

As long as terry still here, im gonna be skeptical about playing time and chemistry.

We will be a fun team to watch that's for sure.

In what Steve Cliffordless world are you living?  This team will struggle to win 30 games.

They got 27 without Bridges and with Plumlee starting most of the season come on bro

I don't care for Clifford but the young talent on this team is exciting enough to overcome his shortcomings if fully healthy. LaMelo, Miller, Bridges, PJ, Mark is a really really solid core to build around and develop. Hayward and Rozier should come off the bench and are very solid in that role if that's how we do it. We were 43-39 in 21-22 with a mostly healthy LaMelo and Bridges, now we're adding Miller and Mark which are huge additions. If Clifford can't make this roster a top 6 seed this year he's gotta go. But I do think the roster is good enough this year to be a locked in top 6 seed and playoff team in the East if healthy. Miles being suspended for 10 games not ideal but it's short enough we can manage.

A less talented version of this team won 43 games and was in 4th place before injuries derailed the season.

To be fair I like Borrego better than Clifford, not that Borrego was a great option either. fug that Warriors dude for reneging on our deal.

Anyone know if Brandon or Nick are playing tonight?

Most likely this is our last game.

There’s actually one more after this. Every team gets five games. The opponent of the fifth game is determined by the results of the first four.

Welp, there goes the other reason to watch the game. Guess I'll be watching a movie tonight instead of the game.

Are you sure? I checked the schedule I didn't see any more games after today.

Yeah it doesn’t show the game yet since they don’t know the opponent or time. Once all the games have wrapped up they reseed for the little playoff and then all the teams that didn’t make it play one more game.
