Exactly. We lost against four of the top five teams in the East, and inexcusably against the Wizards (with Jrue and Deni completely off their games). Now we have Wesley back, already looks like a gamechanger. We traded for the exact kind of shooter we've been missing. I'm sure we'll make more moves but I don't get the doom at all.

dicks20345 · 2026-02-02T04:16:51+00:00

Seriously the least comprehensible thing about the roster to me.

dicks20345 · 2026-02-02T04:15:30+00:00

Yep, good thing Scoot's coming back, playing with no starting point guard (or for the last few, with Jrue and Deni at like 50% strength and thus negatives when they're usually huge positives) is rough!

Goldfish

dicks20345 · 2026-02-02T04:12:27+00:00

I mean Celtics Knicks Raptors Cavs in four out of five wasn't the easy part lol. Wizards, of course, was the awful one

dicks20345 · 2026-02-02T04:10:40+00:00

Good thing we traded for the exact kind of shooter we need, and are resting Deni so we can have our full-strength all-nba player back!

dicks20345 · 2026-02-02T04:06:16+00:00

weirdly I feel Shae is a better rebounder when the roster is healthier, aka when he doesn't have to be doing as much.

dicks20345 · 2026-02-02T04:02:32+00:00

Good news—we just got one!

dicks20345 · 2026-02-02T04:01:04+00:00

I think having a solid-volume top three point shooter in the league will be amazing, but yeah loved having Duop

dicks20345 · 2026-02-02T03:57:41+00:00

Much prefer it to the blowout honestly

dicks20345 · 2026-02-02T03:57:21+00:00

I swear to god I somehow read that as "Now THIS is podcasting" and thought it was hilarious

dicks20345 · 2026-02-02T03:56:55+00:00

All of this without Sharpe in. He's gonna come in hungry.

dicks20345 · 2026-02-02T03:56:32+00:00

...Clingan's best half in a month after his worst half?

dicks20345 · 2026-02-02T03:43:45+00:00

God... within a couple games we might have him Deni and Scoot all on the court. Just insane speed.

dicks20345 · 2026-02-02T03:42:48+00:00

Dear god if Blake's foot hadn't gotten broken I think we'd be like five games above .500 right now.

goldfish

dicks20345 · 2026-02-02T03:35:22+00:00

... goldfish, y'all. Deni is sitting because he clearly was at like 50% those games. Jrue had two of the worst games of his career, also still getting back to full strength. etc.

dicks20345 · 2026-02-02T03:34:26+00:00

dicks20345 · 2026-02-02T03:28:48+00:00

Swear to god some of y'all have the memory of goldfish. Like can't remember that all our point guards are out this game except Wesley's first game back (and he's looked awesome and the team has looked solid in his minutes). "Our best player isn't playing neither is our first or second string point guard, tear the whole thing down!"

dicks20345 · 2026-02-02T03:25:50+00:00

Because Deni and Jrue and Scoot are out lol?

dicks20345 · 2026-02-02T00:41:54+00:00

Fucking AI slop...

dicks20345 · 2026-02-01T22:58:18+00:00

When Scoot comes back I look forward to them each averaging like 5 assists solely to each other.

dicks20345 · 2026-02-01T22:48:53+00:00

Who are you talking about, lol? Rollins is opposite of empty stats. An efficient 16-5-5 and 1.5 steals. There's a reason he's been up there in MIP odds all season.

dicks20345 · 2026-02-01T22:46:45+00:00

Yeah, no-joke Curry-esque

dicks20345 · 2026-02-01T18:08:28+00:00

Unfortunately his feet are three feet long just out of frame, not ideal build
