I don't think we would have won, but our bench is so poor right now. We have very little room for error. If Luka is not great, there is probably no chance for a win. But with that defense and Hardaway not balling, we pretty much have no chance.
Sucks that we are so short handed and going up against a bruiser big man and can barely survive McGee for 5 minutes.
I am a Hardy fan. His scoring will be fine. He needs to learn to know when and how to attack though. It will come. Right now, he just wants to go all the way to the rim. But, I am watching more the defensive stuff right now. From my watch, he appeared a little slow on a few rotations and was also out muscled in the paint for rebounds. This will be key for him. It will be a reason not for him to get more playing time if he doesn't do those small things right. Either way, I can't make any judgements in those quick few minute runs or during blowout time. Hopefully they keep finding him at least a few minutes.
If Luka does not go tonight, things will get ugly. Maybe Dame doesn't go either, but Portland has a lot more options than our roster. What is the deal with Josh Green. Been out a long time and has been practicing. Really need some wings.
Lastly, real nice Bullock game. He got incredible looks though. We really need another creator who can get to the rim. It just sticks out like a sore thumb.
