MEANWHILE

With a squeaker in Georgia

Be still my heart

Difference keeps growing.

With 98% counted, it is 50.7 to 49.3

Id take it any day!!! 😁

Steve Kornacki.

The Marv Alpert of the telestrator. 

The Fulton County votes came in, and with 98% of the vote in, Warnock is up by 50,000. 

As for the nine man rotation, the votes have yet to come in...

10 at least.

Chamaco prefers 8 max, maybe 7.

How about you?

I'm not married to anything. 

Defense.

Coherence. 

WINS

My priority.

So after last year, I figured we needed to get rid of Thibs or Randle to get a winning team.

But that didn't happened. Maybe couldn't happen.

So then I figured you have to get rid of RJ or Randle, because they're not complementary players. Since a trade seemed to be impossible, I was drawn to the idea of RJ playing with the 2nd unit.

Now....now it seems we're all in on the RJ/Randle/Thibs unit! Like, forever! In fact, not only do we want to trade away Cam/Fournier/Rose for....you know, undisclosed better players, we're cool about adding IQ to the mix to get it done!

I mean, this is dismal shit. Where is the vision?

Don't take such speculative balderdash to heart.

Saw the Stefan Bondy/Fred Katz item about attaching Reddish to a dump Fournier scenario.

Go figure

Worth noting, Brother E, that the "trades" rumored and speculated upon, and the ones that actually go down, are rarely in alignment.

Where there's smoke, tho.

Seems pretty likely we are about to embark on the Rose/Thibs save-our-skins endgame voyage.

The clusterF*^K will no doubt end the worst way possible. Quadrupling down on the failed RJ/Randle project.

If I had my druthers, all four would go.

Hey, you know how we started to play Cam more, but he just looked pathetic and it was obvious he's a loser?

Me neither.

Me neither.

Was playing prgressively better and better before he got hurt. 

So much so, nailed Fournier to the bench. 

McBride for Rose? 

Defense. 

McBride and Grimes really pressured Mitchell and Garland. 

No mean feat. 

The interest in trading IQ baffles me.  He has been improving of late. 

And the talk of offloading any combo of Rose, Reddish, Fournier and Quickley, and getting #1 picks back? 

Huh? 

We seem to be sitting on a surfeit of #1 picks. 

And we have Jokubaitis on ice in Spain. 

Curiouser and Curiouser. 

PS: I find the idea that Dolan & His People are looking askance at Rose & His People...curious. 

PPS: As per DAWG's Red Queen Approach [OFF WITH THEIR HEADS].  Get rid of Randle & RJ, Thibs & Leon.  FUCKING GENIUS.  That will engender stability and a clear path forward.

And some offense to boot.
A-fucking-mazing!
Maybe Thibs was right about only needing the MAGIC NINE.
Who wouda thunk it?
Will it continue?
We shall see, wont we?

As per the forum, with his 9 man rotation, Thibs subs out McBride and IQ for Barrett and Brunson, than brings RJ back in when he subs out Julius so not on the floor at the same time.

Hawk were without Collins, Hunter and Murray, so we caught  a break ..

Still

DEFENSE

And Julius having fun.

Pucker up, Dawg

Of course I show mercy, until at least the next game.

I am a very merciful fella.

You are still on my short list. And Randle is still King Julius!

PS. What happened to Chamaco? He has not shown up for a while. Is he in jail?

Weird feeling to win a game, and feel like we're courting disaster.

Is the front office really so out of touch?

Maybe two years ago, there's an argument that you can build around the core of Randle and RJ. Who on planet Earth thinks like that now?

Why would you keep Cam on the bench? Why would you let him go? Who are they hoping to get who would be better?

And does the front office really not see that RJ is a nice NBA ballplayer who doesn't happen to do anything exceptionally well?
