He's the key to this team in every way.

NBA players are terrible at getting those full court shots off before the buzzer lol. Besides Tyreke Evans

lol its a low key attempt at preserving the shooting numbers.

So all those beat downs he got last season did in fact have a purpose?

Its almost as if the team gave up a 20+ point lead a couple days ago

It honestly feels like this team is a backup PG and some experience away from being a serious contender in the west.

Certainly didn't demoralize him.
I feel like a lot of players purposely let the clock run out before they can take a shot so they can keep their stats good.

I've watched some of the other rookies play. Payton's been struggling. McDermott looks lost. Gordon is terrible. Smart's alright. Wiggins is meh. Parker has his ups and downs. Haven't even heard of what Vonleh has been doing. Exum is meh. Either this draft class was disappointingly overhyped (not likely), or guys just need a year or two to acclimate. Look at Ben - he's really starting to pick it up.
They deliberately shoot them after the clock so that they don't ruin their stats. I think that only Tyreke and Derrick Rose completely ignores stats and shoot these heaves on time.
Yeah, it says we know what it's like to get our heart broken.
And to be honest a backup SG who is ready to play. Really could use a vet there.
It's kind of silly that we're already starting to see rumblings about Stauskas. We're literally seeing the result of player growth with Ben McLemore and some are already to throw Nik under the bus after 8 games.
Now D-Will is a different story of it being time to give up on a young player. Year 4 for him and he hasn't improved on anything in his game since his rookie year.

Dallas took some pointers from us i guess, they are up 48-12 on Philly
Not the same at all.
Do you want to watch Nik struggle all year while force feeding him playing time or would you rather have a steady vet who can make a difference right now and help this team win and get to the playoffs? That's not throwing Nik under the bus but that's wanting to win now and the kid isn't ready yet.

Backup PG would certainly help the bench unit from getting killed every time they're on the floor. Sessions stagnates the offense and gets torched on defense. He's practically playing like IT minus the 20ppg

Your rim protection transforms from Cousins to Reggie Evans, who is surrounded by mediocre to bad defenders all over the perimeter (Sessions/Stauskas/Casspi/Landry). Its not at all surprising.

When the hell can we play the Sixers or Lakers?

Yep. When Carl Landry is your best defender on the floor, you're going to have a problem.

if we can go into the 4th with a 16pt lead...were golden! Memphis is gonna come out in the 3rd and play alot different I think so I hope the team is prepared!

Monta Ellis and Dirk ain't walkin through that door
I noticed that we end the regular season with a Home @Home with the lakers. How sweet would it be, if we found ourselves in position to get into the playoffs by sweeping that set?

December.
This is our month from hell. That's why win this, go up 6-3 = tremendous start, not just good one. Surviving this month looked doubtful before the season. Instead we might still be thriving. by the time we start meeting the weak sisters we'll be seasoned and confident vets looking to put weak teams away.
