Ant screaming at refs for foul calls early and often. At what point does he get T’d up for that? Fox gets Ts for no calls on attempted homicide.

Id give Huerter a look. I’d say hes a much better playmaker than Keon, particularly in the PnR.

To play devil’s advocate, Monk may be one of our most valuable trade pieces and there are guys like Sexton or Hyland that might be had relatively cheaply. Could you use Monk to bring in a big contributor, and replace most of his production on the cheap? Idk if I’d do this personally but it’s worth asking imo.

The question will be answered after they sign their next contracts. Monk has the character that literally makes other players better. Does Sexton or Hyland?

He certainly floats. I never realized he was such a prolific rim smasher. if the team gets better without compromising the teams integrity like the Warriors, I’d be down for a trade.

Not unrelated to this game… if I’m Tim Connelly I would trade KAT so fast it would make Golbert’s head spin.

Can’t hit a 3 to save their life, getting killed on the boards and in the paint….and only down 12 at the half? Guess I’ll take it, but this is starting to look like all their other losses unless they quickly start hitting their 3’s in the 2nd half. Need one of the role players to step up with Monk out. Huerter/HB combined for just 7 points in that 1st half. Need more from them to have a chance

Wouldn’t mind seeing a bigger lineup with Keegan at 2, HB at 3 and Lyles or Sasha at 4.

with Monk out, wouldn’t mind seeing more Colby Jones.

When the 3s aren’t falling, but you insist on 41% of your total shots being 3s, and when as usual you’re letting the opponent shoot over 50% from the field, you’re likely to lose fairly convincingly.

Yeah, but McDaniels is a better player especially against the kings, and he didnt playblast time. KAT plays no defense, slow. McDaniels is a nightmare matchup for the unathletic wings the kings have
