Early Bird:
I think we nailed 6 – 7 heads in a row last year, this year is just a return to normal.

Flip 1: Randle hits 40% from 3
Flip 2: he hits 50% from midrange
Flip 3: RJ hits 40% from 3
Flip 4: The invisible 6th man
Flip 5: Derrick Rose mostly healthy
Flip 6: No covid protocols
Flip 7: Randle giving a shit on defense

It really looks like it, but damn, it’s disheartening to see it all go to shit so fast.

This year we’re all wrong again, it’s going to be worse than anyone expected. I guess it’s Karma.

Fournier playing like his career worst year, Randle heavily regressing in every way, injuries, covid, Barrett regressing, the defense is gone, it’s all gone to shit at the same time. It’s like every worst possible scenario happening at the same time, or losing every coin flip in a 6 or 7 sequence. I’m not even angry, I’m just sad and demotivated at this point.

he must have seriously lubed up them ankles tonight…

man, gangrene nuts doesn’t seem to wanna either defend or rebound…fudge, even if his shot does fall, he can’t defend, and he refuses to rebound…he legit sucks…

randle looks like he has both his shoelaces tied together…i don’t want to start guessing at all the possible reasons he looks worse than a year one kevin knox out on the court…

what’s with taj and all the quick and silly fouls lately…

i ain’t ready to proclaim the ship be sinking, but – if rotten balls, randle and RJ keep eating up major minutes – we are heading for the lottery…

that would be a bit disappointing…plenty of time though between here and there…at worse we get another pick, play the young guys more, and maybe move on from whoever still sucks by the end of the season…

Of all the stupid, bad losses this season tonight might be the most disheartening.

Tremendously awful loss.

His son is so charismatic out there. He’s like Kemba Walker in a headband.

He has to be the worst “best” player on an NBA team and it’s not even close. Tank Commander.

We really need to move both him and Evan Fartnier. The latter who can’t guard a cone. What a waste of a great game by Kemba. This team just needs to go into full tank and the team needs to get blown up.

Julius seems like he’s completely checked out.

Meanwhile Fournier seems like he’s overdosing on xanax. Those two utterly unforced fumbles were Sanchez level.
