    I know. It's funny that the people that want to make a move only want to part with the Sergio's, Outlaws, or Frye's. Roy, Lamarcus, Oden, Rudy, Bayless, Batum are untouchable. One problem . . . NOBODY WANTS our garbage.

    I will admit, if KP could somehow swing a deal for Gerald Wallace, I'd be ecstatic.

    I don't want to trade anyone! I just want an extra long practice where foul shots are the emphasis. I'd also like to know where to send the whistles that were clearly lost to that pathetic fucking ref crew!

    We've got half a season now to evaluate talent. If we don't know what we have then this front office is inept.

    Veteran teams are hitting their stride and playing better ball. We are letting up a bit and dropping more games then we were earlier in the season.

    The handful of fans here who have been upset that we switch pick and rolls should be happy tonight. We trapped about half of the on ball screens tonight... And I believe Cleveland went 6-7 on three when we did that, but that's besides the point, at least we didn't switch, right?

    The Cavs couldn't miss tonight and every loose ball they got points out of. They had a perfect game and the refs did the rest! If your PG is what 6 of 6 from three you're going to win.

    Mo Williams went insane from 3-point land tonight. Many of those courtesy of going under picks.

    I counted 2 that he hit from going under picks. I believe another 3 came when we trapped an on ball screen, with the last being a drive and dish. I could be wrong. I'm positive that zero threes were made when we switched the on the ball screen.

    Mo shot the ball well, but I was even more surprised with Lebron's ability to hit the jumper tonight.

    I hate this team. It sucks. It lost at home to a shitty team full of journeyman with a mediocre record. AND on top of all that, we got all the calls tonight too and couldn't take advantage of the refs trying to feed us some good home cookin'. I'm about to start rooting for the GSW'ers - they're closer to me geographically anyways.

    Methinks you just forfeited your ability to use the word "we" in relation to the Blazers.

    I won't need that ability as a Warriors fan anyways.

    M. Ellis FTW!!! Oh wait, he's injured.

    Nellie Ball FTW!!! Oh wait, he don't win nothing.

    Jessica Alba in the stands FTW!!!

    The Cavs run a point-forward and 2 SG's basically, allowing them to get a lot of points from the guards by freeing them up offensively.

    A twin-towers approach might have been better than going small against them.

    Maybe next time.

    Yeah, if I ever decide to go GSW and post on their forums too (if they even have one), I'll sure miss your soothing posts.

    To our fans: If some of our fans are panicking, think of how badly Mavericks fans are feeling right now, especially after a 34 point blowout loss to the Bucks.

    Or the Suns.

    Or the Jazz.

    This team is not beneath any of them. There is a chance this team is not making the playoffs, but it's about the same chance as the rest of these teams, and their fans are all freaking out just as much as some of our guys are, saying the same old shit. As for the Suns and the Mavericks, their championship windows are disappearing if they aren't already gone while ours is still well ahead of us. I dare any of you to trade our team for any of theirs.

    Maybe the mods will agree with me that MIXUM is a troll now.
