Comes down to defense to get us out in transition. Will there be any changes? Great opportunity to get back on track

Still hope we see more Clingan. Nunge has a pretty noticeable height advantage over Sanogo

Just to clean up the perimeter defense. We need to protect the rim

What's the "Carpenter" reference about?

Good things seem to happen when Clingan is on the court.

Hurley "building" the program back to its former glory. I'm glad Rothstein likes our coach but he overuses the crap out of the carpenter thing. Time to try a new shtick.

DH is in charge of the rebuild.

Tristen played with more confidence today. Hopefully, it transitions into Xavier.

He's the X-factor for us in my eyes.

Rothstein has a phrase about a bunch of coaches. Then he monitizes it by selling shirts

 

[XLCenterFan]

As I’ve said before he does the same for, oh, about 200 other coaches and then sells shirts with the saying. Not a bad business move.

Oh I credit the guy for having the savvy to identify a business opportunity and jump all over it. But it doesn't make it feel any less annoying/forced when he drops them online or on-air every time he references a coach. That said, it's good to have him in our corner.

I bought his Dana Altman shirt

That one just rolls off the tongue LOL

 

[housekeys]

Who's reffing? That's all that matters.

 

[Ratso]

it’s payback time

 

[Hankster]

Feelgood this game is at home. I don't know abut anyone else, but it seemed we were on the road all year. Come back for a home and back out for two games. Seemed that way for me.

99.9% confident he donates all the proceeds of the shirts. I think I saw him mention that on one of his shows / podcasts

But Nunge can step outside and hit 3’s. If Clingan comes out to guard him, Nunge can go by him with the dribble. And to make him a triple threat, Nunge passes really well.

Say it ain't so.

Ohhhhh. I thought he meant he was the second coming of the late JC.

 

[TheChamps990411]

Its a chance to turn this season back around.

Yes, that ankle breaking crossover of Nunge’s is nasty. Hi did dribble in for a layup in the last game…once. He’s not a real threat to drive - I think the defender was in shock.

Nunge is slow
