NSJ is good. He has no chemistry with the team because he hasn't played all year. He goes hero ball when he hasn't earned that role at all and is sloppy at times. Muss should have told him GL in the draft when he went to LA.

I'm not dogging the kid. He wanted to play for us but it's ended up just being a distraction. Hopefully Muss learns from this and makes the tough call next time.

So what’s the reason for Kamani being a starter last night and not seeing the floor at all tonight? We were out-rebounded 43-26.

He wasn’t only “rehabbing” when he went MIA

That’s why he was out of the state for a month

Struck me as weird too. Probably in trouble for partying for his Bday last night.

Just because he started doesn't really mean anything though, he played 8 minutes, 2nd least on the team to only Graham's 2.

Y’all are kidding yourselves if you think we’d be better off right now if NSJ didn’t come back. We squeaked by the worst team in the league right before he came back.

He was great in the first half, looked like his legs were shot in the 2nd. Not that anyone else looked any better

Chemistry of the team sucks overall. It's not just NSJ. Him coming back certainly hasn't helped that. It has kept teams honest by having a 3 pt threat............ until that last half.

I'm ready for this season to be over. This team is going to be lucky to make it past 2nd Rd. RC4 just looks like he doesn't want to be out there anymore.

Seasons like this are pretty stress free for me. You can see the first round exit coming months in advance, and if we by some miracle win a tournament game, it's all house money.

NSJ is not ready for the NBA. Scouts love him blah blah. Too careless with the ball. The defenders in the NBA will be much better than what he plays now


He’s ready, after the summer league he’ll be good to go, hoping the Thunder grab him or Black.

Plenty of room on the Thunder bandwagon, they’re about to run the league. JWill is a fan favorite and Joe is their sharpshooter when they need a three. Could have three Hogs on the floor for them next year.

The clockwork like losses of rather large leads is beyond frustrating… mainly because muss at least from the outside, seems to have done absolutely nothing to remedy it. It’s the same shite every game.

Black and Devo basically never come off the floor and are gassed in the second half nearly every game.

Would it hurt to strategically rest them a bit more, especially in the first half?

Gun to his head I don’t think Muss was trying very hard to win this game. Would have had to turn around and play again tomorrow with nothing to gain. Three games in three days? No thanks. Speaking of rest, now we get a week of it.

If this game was an anomaly, I would agree, but it’s the norm.
