Refs still targeting Sabonis for every small infraction they can.
Hope Fox is OK. Nice to see us come together without him but we aren't going anywhere if he misses extended time. Dude on the board recently calling for him to be hurt makes this all the worse.
Glad Lyles is still showing his level of contribution, I am a fan and believe he is a long term piece.
Happy for Davion beginning his breakout of a slump.
Barnes hit them FTs and keep being aggressive and it will work out.
Keegan with an off shooting night but still finding ways to contribute is Slim Duncan status.
Apparently we unleashed the please homie don't Huerter, cuz wtf was Atl doing wrong with that guy? The hell man, red velvet isn't even smooth enough for homie. Dude is like vanilla cake batter, smooth and sweet and ready to rise up when the heat is on.

HAHAHAHAHHA seriously? Did you actually read my reply? Well you must have because you replied to it, but then after replying to it you come here and lie?
In case you had trouble reading my previous post, which it looks like because you just spewed the same nonsense lie here, then I will post it again.
"I did not hope for an injury. Give me a break dude.
I just think that Fox has had an injury problem and it's stupid to build a team around someone who has injury problems."
You good now? You going to stop lying DUDE? Because it's kind of a cruddy thing to do when you were told already what I meant and then responded to the post.
EDIT: If you need to clear anything else up or if you didn't understand even after this post then send me a PM. There is no real reason to argue here. Cool?

Interesting 5 man net ratings. It’s pretty good considering the awful asst/turnover ratio which you hope will get better…

More in depth on the assist numbers… for this team to get better our point guards have to have better numbers…..

Ask and you shall receive. I asked for a lot better shooting Mitchell, and voila!, I got it. He looked great out there. It looked like Brown or some other coach gave him the confidence to jack up shots and not think about it so much. He quickly and confidently shot the ball. I hope this game gets him over the hump and we continue to see confident Mitchell out there.
The first half was frustrating and disappointing because of the lazy effort. I thought Fox didn't come out with the concentration, effort and fire needed against one of the lesser teams. He still seems to have a bad habit of playing down to his competition. Hopefully, Fox's injury is not serious and he will be back soon. The second half was a joy to watch - gritty, tough, and competitive. There's a team you feel proud to route for.
We have yet to see the elite performance that Sabonis is capable of, in part because he and the refs haven't really come to an agreement on what he can and cannot do. It's hard enough playing the game, but playing against the other team and the refs is extremely difficult. Hopefully, this issue can be resolved very soon.

Everybody has off nights shooting the ball. Nobody is saying that doesn’t happen. However, shooting 11% from 3 over 6 games is pretty darn bad. Looking at Cam Johnson’s game logs, he never shot that poorly in a 6 game stretch the entirety of last year.
Barnes has had a horrible start shooting the ball especially by his standards as someone who’s consistently been a 38%-40% 3PT shooter for his career.

My suspicion is he is playing with an injury. He isnt as crisp as usual. His shot is also flatter. I dont think it will last. Also good to see that just because the outside shot is not falling, doesnt eliminate him from being an offensive threat. I think people forget just how strong this dude is. He straight up can out muscles and out position people on drives and in the paint. He is extremely crafty. It shows his IQ that he knows how to bring other parts of what is a pretty solid overall offensive repertoire to bare.
Good point last night BTW by Mark Jones that at the end (after sabonis fouled out), Mike brown had only high IQ players out there, rather than going with Len or Holmes.
Mitchell
Huerter/Delly (flipping)
Murray
Barnes
Lyles

I’ll continue to say that Queta may be the backup piece we are looking for. I think he’s a good passer, had the shot blocker reputation in college but not sure he’s demonstrated in the pros but he’s also got to play more to show he can do that, has shown the ability to knock down the 3, moves his feet on D and is a big body. I believe if given the chance, he can show what he’s capable of. I also think he’s going to foul a lot but if he’s not given time, he’s not going to learn.
What I’m hoping is that Holmes and Len are being given their shots to either show up or get replaced. I think Holmes has been given enough rope to be replaced.

I trust Brown that Queta isn't ready.
I really like watching Queta as well and he's going to get a highlight block or two and hit a random three and blow by a good defensive center for a finish at the rim that you wouldn't think he was capable of......but.....in between all that he is going to get lost on offense and defense multiple times and more than likely cost the team more than he's going to give.
I'd like to see him get some spot minutes here and there but I highly doubt he's going to come in and change the tone defensively. I have enough trust in Brown at this point that he probably isn't playing him for a reason.
