Every team says this by the way. With the three ball being so prevalent in todays game huge comebacks happen on the regular.

THIS.

I also don’t think it’s just an NBA thing either. I’ve noticed even at the high school level it’s harder to put teams away and they don’t even have a shot clock. Players are so skilled and the post game is so nonexistent that games are basically won/lost by whoever is hot late from 3 the latest in the game.

We could use Ingles right about now with Conley going down.

Maybe Milwaukee would be willing to trade Ingles for Gay?

You all gonna be telling your grandkids one day about that time you wanted your team to tank and they won the 22-23 NBA championship.

LOL. Might have jumped the gun on the post of the thread I guess.

Prime Ingles would make this team perfect to watch.

Ingles would've had an absolute blast on this team.

i hope conley is ok, but the fact they need more imaging sounds concerning because usually they can evaluate damage much quicker if its a sprain.

Clarkson turned God mode on.

This team is better than last year. Change my mind!

I feel bad for Rudy. Fans here would bitch at him for not being able to defend a streaking Clarkson/Sexton/Conley coming down the paint AND getting out to defend a Lauri 3 on the wing AND stop a Kelly Rex 3 from the corner at the same time.

Conley is in good spirits and walking around according to Hardy. Waiting on more imaging.

Big praise for THT from coach.

Yeah, every team blows leads.

The critical thing is that this team doesn't melt down after they blow a lead. They punch back.

I really do think the ultimate problem with last year's team wasn't the blown leads - it was the total meltdowns following said blown leads.

Lets face it. It was simply the 4th quarter play and especially the last 5 minutes or so. You pointed this out many times last year
this team is the opposite of that so far. I dont know if they can sustain it but every game I get more confident that they can.

2-0 over the last two when Fish predicts a win going into the game.

Do I hear 3?

Who is up next?

Disagree. Not sure what access they have to imaging but presumably would have the best of the best being a billion or trillion dollar industry. So presumably would have an X ray first which likely should nothing like most X rays and would be having an MRI to confirm no damage. Otherwise if they only had an MRI then the results of that take longer to come through, as well as taking longer to an MRI opposed to an X ray.

I know but we haven’t put a team to sleep yet. We were up 19 with dame gone; gotta go night night for them there

I think we did put the nuggets to sleep in that win but ya, I feel ya.
