And we basically handed them the game last week with unforced turnovers and a boneheaded blown defensive assignment.

No troll, I can't remember what I watching/listening to before the season started but someone credible casually mentioned that Kawhi would be out until December or Janurary. I wasn't sure if they misspoke or were guessing, but I hope the timeline ends up being accurate

 

[rfx45]

not even sure if dudes been in a shootaround with the team

 

[lawdog1]

I’m not expecting anything except that it really is wild how non-communicative the organization is about Kawhi’s situation. Like, even the TV broadcast guys don’t talk about it. No updates, no speculation. Nothing but “there’s Kawhi on the bench again”. LOL.

now Derrick Jones not playing

 

[lawdog1]

Solid effort being so undermanned. Just could get enough stops really close that 10 point deficit.

Hopefully we have some bodies back when we play again next Friday. Good to have a long layoff, but would be nicer if we got a crap team at the end instead of the Nuggets.

The schedule is so stupid. Instead lf getting routine days off, we play every other day/back2back for a month in a half, then they give us 1 game in like 10 days. Then we'll go back to playing every other day, I'm sure

Correct.

And against mostly good West teams. **** you, NBA schedulers.

 

[lawdog1]

Not great.

 

[rfx45]

at least they have some sort of timeline but looks like this team is back to being a play-in

Stats and eye test line up on this one.

Stats and eye test line up on this one.

He's one of those guys that you can tell Brian Siemen KNOWS is trash but he can't say it on the broadcast. Like when Russ would take a dumb *** shot or turn it over.

When we played Denver earlier this season, he kept saying, "you'll pay Russ to take that shot if you're the cippers."


Same thing with KPJ. He's been trying to say that KPJ is good in the paint but you know he doesn't believe it. And you can tell from his tone how much he dislikes those dumb shots KPJ takes. He's not good anywhere. He can't shake guys 9/10 times. Over half of his shots are contested. I don't even hate him like that, he just isn't good. He's probably the 10th best player on the team:


Harden
Norm
Zu
DJ
Dunn
Batum
Miller
Coffey
Mann (even with his slow start)

 

[lawdog1]

^^^ Yeah, Seiman does a good job of keeping his phrasing positive, but there’s been a few times this season when KPJ took a particularly dumb shot or made a bad turnover when the disgust in Seiman’s voice was palpable

If my December 16 conspiracy theory ends up being true....

 

[rfx45]

hylands super lost on defense out there too

 

[lawdog1]

Russ kept us in it

 

[lawdog1]

Jim and Zu suck tonight.

 

[HIM]

What an ugly game

 

[bapar11]

awful 3rd quarter & a lot missed free throws

 

[lawdog1]

Hard to take a blow out loss to the Nuggets when Jokic had a sub-par game. Yuck.

 

[rfx45]

better take care of business tonight

no excuses

 

[bapar11]
