culver has missed 56 of 103 FT attempts this season. how is that even possible? i could make more than that with my eyes closed and i know that for a fact.
I guess that transition between the college free throw and NBA free throw was just to much for him.
This is sarcasm incase So Money is waiting to troll.
At least we don’t have to play tomorrow. Oh wait. Why not send down Reid, Nowell, and Culver and play the next one with 7. Hell send down the two ways as well and play with 5. You cannot foul out.

I like a lot of these G league guys. Most of them are pretty solid and play hard.
Yes and watching the Saints is much more fun than watching the Twins. It’s garbage.
Denver will likely have 70 points in the paint by the end of this.
Is it still legal to play big in the NBA?
Milsap and Joker......
Rosas get some fucking size on this team...and then fucking play them in the correct positions. This has just been a complete jerk off of a season.....so stupid.

That Hernangomez shot was just awful
Poor mans Dario (who was poor himself)
I disagree. He is not a starting PF, he is a backup PF or maybe even SF. He needs to work on his at the rim shooting, and needs to improve his rebounding. Honestly if he was playing 18 minutes and shooting well from 3, you wouldn’t object nearly as much to his game. Foul trouble is also a result of playing out of position against bigger, stronger players.
Do all the FSN announcers actually work for the team or something? I am so sick of them constantly repeating the same shit over and over. They competed. Really? Gold fucking star!

I actually tried to get to the bottom of this, but never could find a definitive answer. I think the teams may pay them, in some sports anyways.

covering the spread is a win in vegas.
I'm going to start betting on them to compete! Maybe a few bucks down on them being gritty!

he's looked okay at times, he's looked bad at times. usually competes hard. but he's (surprise!) being played out of position. he's a SF. tonight he was matched up against one of the savviest vets in the league - paul millsap - who also is a former teammate so knows everything there is to know about JH. no surprises there - just beat up the kid. because he outweighs JH by 43 pounds. it's not a fair matchup by any stretch. pair JH against will barton at the 3 spot and my guess is that it wouldn't nearly be as ugly. perhaps even a draw. i wonder how omari spellman would have faired tonight as our starting 4 matched against millsap. they are nearly identically sized - 6-8 255ish with 7-2 wingspans.
If juancho winds up getting bench minutes next year as a backup SF, most here will be fine with it because he'll do alright in that role.

There is little difference between the memory of a real event and the memory of a dream.
First fucking Marnie question is a complete hand job about hustle and grit. 2nd is how tough was it to deal with their obviously unfair size advantage. Those cheating jerks. The idiot's boy acts like there is nothing he can do. What a joke he is.

You need to account for the psychological side of it though. In high school I’d hit ‘em at about an 85-90% clip in practice, but when it came to games I was a fucking disaster.
The rest of my game was fine because I was locked in when the game was in action, but that lull when it’s just you at the line and you know all eyes are on you? That’s a fucking killer for some.
Obviously I can’t say this is Culver’s issue, but his mechanics don’t look bad and he seems to have decent touch. Hopefully he works it out.
I keep reading the box scores since I've given up, and if you didn't see the other teams score, you'd think, hey, that's a really nice game. Nice totals, decent averages. I'm fairly confident in saying even if we had Payton, Jordan, pippen, kg and Hakeem, we'd still lose.

We are a layup line on D. Think our starting 4 and 5 combined for 8 rebounds.

To be fair, our starting four and five spent the whole game in foul trouble. They did it to themselves, but it was a joke how neither JH nor Reid could get or keep their head out of their ass for more then 3 minutes at a time. We needed Vanderbilt and Spellman. Vanderbilt pulled down 11 boards (14 last game) while having a bad offensive night. Meanwhile Spellman scored 32 and had a beast of a game. At least Iowa gets some size

God we are an embarrassing joke.
The first half was fun if you put aside silly notions of winning. Ryan Saunders is literally the worst coach in the league. He has nothing, not rotations, player development, offensive schemes, defensive schemes, literally nothing to point to and say he does this well. The players clearly don’t respect him, the fans hate him. Glen Taylor has some old fashion notion that because Ryan is Flip’s kid, Ryan deserves a chance. Ryan has lost 8 straight to Denver. He had has chance. As for small ball, even if you want to run it, at least have bigs on the bench in case of injury or foul trouble. It’s like going to the grocery store and deciding you don’t need to buy toilet paper for the week. Best case scenario you were right and you don’t miss it. Worst case scenario your in deep shit.

Keep watching!
You think it gets more embarrassing? Can't see how it's possible but wouldn't put anything passed this team. Maybe we find a way to play a 6 2 guard lineup.
