  5. Honestly a great game.

    Please trade Rozier I can’t go back to watching me-ball w/ no defense.

    We could of totally won with Miller too.

  8. gonna put this one away into the moral victory book for winning 3/4 quarters. also cliff has to be the dumbest person on this planet to continue playing ish over nsj

  10. Soul for a soul with this team, Cody comes back and Miller gets hurt not to return.

    Nick Smith Jr just gave us that light that we needed

  14. Had there not been a 9-30 quarter that game woulda totally been winnable. NSJ gives me hope though

  16. People are gunna hype it, and ~~NSJ~~ *Big Dick Nick Jr* is a great future piece if he becomes consistent and continues developing – but he has had minutes and not always shot lights out.

    If we’re fully healthy (LaMelo, Mark, Cody) then he would realistically be our 9th~ piece – the problem will still be that unless he learns to run the point it’ll probably be behind a potato like Ish (who also can’t run the point) because Cliff thinks he can.

    You’re talking a Lamelo/Terry/Miller/Miles/Mark five with PJ/Cody/Nick back up. I’d love him to become a little more adept at playmaking and be first guard off the bench – but otherwise the reality is it’s hard to slot him in.

    ​

    E: I’d put him on the court over Ish any day, even to run the ball (can’t be worse TBH) – but it wont happen.

  18. Please give NSJ 25 minutes a night. He’s legitimately our best (and only) healthy shooter right now

  19. Clifford, a long time NBA coach still cannot get his teams to avoid 5 second calls. Can someone find me a stat on which coach has the most under their watch? I’d bet money it’s Clifford

  20. OK so it’s been in everyone’s mind’s but this is the game I give up on Hayward. Why is he missing rlly good looks at his favourite shots in the clutch? Especially after NSJ set the arena on fire??? And a fucking 5 second violation? AND an offensive foul?

    Also when they got their technical free throw and had their first opportunity to score in the 3rd Hayward didn’t approach the line even tho he was on paper the best free throw shooter. He is so unserious, Miller had better start over him soon

  24. If it wasn’t for Smith Jr we would have had only 3 threes. I’m still trying to figure out what happened during half time. Worst 3rd Quarter in the history of the league?

  25. Curious to see what happens should we drop every game on the upcoming road trip. Maybe it’s wishful thinking, but it feels like we’re coming to a tipping point with Clifford. Then again, maybe management will chalk it up to injuries, per usual.

    Personally I’m at the point where I just want to see *something* done. And maybe that isn’t rational lol. But what also isn’t rational is continuing on the path we’re on this season.

  27. Let’s end the excuses to not play NSJ. Probably 90% of the 6th man guards in the league aren’t great playmakers: Clarkson, Lou Williams, Cole Anthony, Poole in GSW and the list goes on. Dude is too promising and talented for the end of our rotation and not be playing.
