Well they outscored the Rockets 93-78 after the first quarter so overall not that terrible.

They still have to do something about the starting lineup.

Kemba and Fournier backcourt is putrid.

RJ as a 6th man

At least fournier moves the ball and runs around. Kemba is more of a black hole

Move Quick, Rose, Burks, Randle and Noel as starters… shyt is not rocket science.. Thibbs being a dikk head

Then the bench would be

Gotta find a balance between the two.

Yeah Kemba is dirt for sure. So we start IQ then and have Rose as the backup. Then Kemba can play alongside Rose in the backcourt.

Got to give Kemba some minutes since he still an offensive weapon.

Thibbs going to have to make some tough decisions.. Might have to bring Randle, Kemba, and Fornier off the bench… Have Burks, Quick and Obi start

Why is RJ coming off the bench never an option

him and Randle both being inefficient scorers on the same night is basically a recipe for loss

luckily they played the worst team in the nba

We had no shot. Lonzo to Chicago was a done deal the moment the trade deadline passed.

Move fournier to the bench, need to separate him and kemba as much as possible.

Because he the golden child and it would be bad optics

 

[Peter Popoff]

IQ need to start in RJ place.

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

Maybe Nerlens should start?

Alec Burks at 3 million is such a steal

Alec Burks at 3 million is such a steal

We pay him 10 million (3/30 million)
