We won't lose this game because of a lack of defense.
I'm Sorry but signing Thanasis to a 10 day is utterly ridiculous. He's not even going to play over Vujacic. When everyone is healthy Thanasis goes back to the d league.
The only explanation is there will be a trade announced tomorrow or the next few days.
Folks. Just be patient. Don't expect any big changes or upgrades at the deadline. This team isn't good enough to go trade for free agents who might leave anyway
he may have been able to help last night. LT was the only guy who had any success with Demar. AA really struggled when on him.

Nice gesture - he's put the time in, so it sends a good message to our dleague players
I agree.
I'm actually kind of excited about Thanasis getting a look. He's got so much energy and defensive effort that I think he fits in perfectly with this group. We actually have portions of each game where I think we could used another Plus Defender on the floor.

like last night against derozan when LT was subbed out...
Maybe it is a good idea to keep thenasty around to back up Aflalo at the SG position. He is not a good shooter, but he hustles and defends. A second lineup of Calderon, thenasty, Williams, Lance, and KO can be solid. Just saying
Shout out to Sasha Vujacic playing some good ball the last few games
They say that Thanasis was wowing the team in warmup with his 3 point shooting from the corners. Really!

Wow. Who said that? If he has a jump sht he is a rotation player.
I read that Hahn said it on MSG. Rambis told Thanasis to stop and save it for the game.
Nice article on the night he was drafted:
