My heart wants a win, my brain wants a loss.

Missing the postseason might be enough to get McNair and Wilcox finally escorted from the building.

Same starting five. Just can’t watch it.

Keon in early for Monk. Monk will run the 2nd unit. Lavine won’t be running that crew, thankfully.

For a number of reasons, I’m so glad this team is going back on the road. First off they get a chance to settle down, in silent arenas, without the weight of this whole fanbase rattling their nerves. The players have less distractions, and I won’t need to stay up after dark to watch a game.

With the way this team plays, it may not change much in terms of wins; but Keon should be starting.

I am puzzled again why the majority of fans on this site can see this, but a front office and team of coaches cannot.

The fans aren’t paying Lavine, and don’t have to work with his agent.

I suspect it’s the same reason why Domas and others expressed a reaction of “finally” when Monk was added to the starting 5: there is a dynamic on every team regarding what is owed, rightly or wrongly, based on salary, seniority, and results. Nothing will change until this team fully flounders and a switch needs to be pulled. By that time though, it’s likely too late.

Thank god it’s the Hornets! I feel like Sac would already be down 20 again to the Warriors the way they are playing. And their up 12!

He could do this seven nights in a row, still don’t care that he’s gone. Too inconsistent, too little defense.

Don’t mistake my comment for wishing he was back here. You’re right on your points.

Defensive intensity looked much better in the 1st half. See if they can keep that up in the 2nd half.

This team’s lack of offensive creativity, given the talent, is sickening.

I am actively beginning to hate Malik Monk getting more than 20 minutes a game.

Felt like we lost that quarter by 14 instead of 4. Dumb turnovers. Last flurry got the lead back up.

Monk with a very good point guard type of game. Derozan, Monk, and Sabonis creating opportunities for the new guy to get hot and show us what he has. A big lead to go deep into the bench. The way the game is supposed to be played.

I like this step in the journey.
