But we put ourselves in this position.

Everyone also knows how much I love OG. I’d make that trade for him again.

However, this team really misses Quickley. He wasn’t just our backup PG. He was also our 6th man energy scorer off the bench that could easily slide into the starting lineup to replace Brunson. He also had impact on defense. We could still win games like this if we had Quickley. We don’t. We have OG.

That is why I’ve been screaming about replacing Quickley. We needed a Brogdan type player or someone similar to run the 2nd unit, add scoring punch and start when Brunson was out.

As it was pre trades, this was a well constructed team that needed an upgrade from RJ. OG was the perfect player in every way. But we lost our backup PG, lost scoring punch off the bench, and weakened our bench defense. We tried to add some offensive punch with the Grimes trade, but that didn’t resolve the backup PG issue and weakened the bench defense further than the loss of just Quickley.

This is not a well constructed team right now.

In the off season they need to undo the damage of the Grimes trade and resolve the scoring and backup PG issue the RIGHT WAY.

I’m still surprised Obi’s back to being a scrub. I thought for sure he’d get 20-25 minutes a night at worst, which is what he started out with but he’s now back to Thibsian levels. I guess we’ll have to wait a while longer for the ‘unlocking.’ Makes me a little sad.

Watching Dallas over the last few years has been hysterical. They went from being one high caliber 3&D role player away from being a serious title contender to a musical chairs comedy of errors and asset abuse that’s taken them further away and left them less to work with. Cuban is the worst. Steve Mills would be an upgrade. OK, maybe that’s an exaggeration. 😜

The roster we put on the floor tonight is a top 5 lottery roster. And every game counts so when y’all say your prayers tonight, be sure to say a special one to Uncle Thibs who played his starters a few extra minutes in November- February and banked a few extra wins that are sure going to come in handy in early April.

You couldn’t have said it better. Those imbeciles fail to take into account that we would be in the play-in at best without injuries had Thibs prioritized minutes over wins early on.

Every game counts. The roster we put on the floor these days is not a playoff roster.

tough day…

All of that is true. I just think neither of them is very good at basketball when you consider both sides of the ball.

This is the trade off. Bogdanovic is slow as a sloth. Brurks is slightly better on defense. But they are both very good shooters and at some point they will start making their shots at a higher rate. Remember that last year we lost to the Heat because nobody could hit the ocean from the outside.

People are currently mad that we didn’t play Precious Achiuwa more tonight. Precious for his career averages 14 points per 36 on 53% TS and I can’t say they’re wrong. We’re really beat up, we have maybe one good offense player if we’re not playing Bojan and Burks.
