We are the Washington Generals.Nice tank loss. They kept it interesting for 3.5 quarters, then wisely rolled over.
I mean it's actually obvious that we still trying hard to win every game but simply can't due to lack of talent. Tanking wise we aren't gonna lose enough games to catch up to teams like Pistons/Spurs/Wizs/Hornets anyways.Hardy pulled Lauri in the 3rd and sat next to him, either laying into him or encouraging him. Then put him back in for the final 16+ minutes. In which time he scored about 17 and got 4-5 assists (on passing for wide open shots). Maybe that gets him out of his mini slump.
Then again, what are we doing here? He clearly banged knees hard with Bam. And played 41 minutes with a gimpy knee, not sitting for the final 16+. Are we going balls to the walls for the win?
Anyone who steps on the court absolutely is trying to win. But playing Brice minutes ahead of Dunn isn't trying your hardest to win.I mean it's actually obvious that we still trying hard to win every game but simply can't due to lack of talent.
Nah.The goal is trying to win every game while developing our rooks. We want to teach winning mentality to our young guys so they aren't developing bad game habits knowing these games don't matter.
Nah, Lauri wants to play, so Hardy plays him. Simple as that.Hardy pulled Lauri in the 3rd and sat next to him, either laying into him or encouraging him.

Meh, I was reliably told he was a disaster at rebounding the ball from the experts on this board.Seems like Hendricks gets just about every rebound in his area.
You can have more than one good wing on a NBA roster.It is obvious by now why were not planning on signing Tec. Hendricks would have been reliably ahead of him by the start of next year. Knowing that, I feel much better about the trade. Get some value out of nothing.
I hope Tec gets paid though. I liked him a lot.
It’s almost like maybe… just maybe… we should have had just an ounce of patience and understanding. He lost summer league and that dev time to an injury and we expected the raw prospect to come in and immediately be awesome for some reason.If Hendricks was playing this same way at the start of the season, all of us would've been ecstatic.
Or maybe the GLeague prepared him and Hardy gave him his opportunity while there is considerably less pressure.It’s almost like maybe… just maybe… we should have had just an ounce of patience and understanding.

Right he needed a minute to get his feet wet. He was a step or two behind in part because no summer prep. It also just requires a little patience sometimes but I get that it’s more fun to declare victory when a guy struggles early.Or maybe the GLeague prepared him and Hardy gave him his opportunity while there is considerably less pressure.
