    You've done it before. But, you revert to yourself after any bad game, or any time Dame doesn't shoot well. You are super predictable. It is kind of sad.

    I just want to see them TRY to play defense when it's needed.

    It's not that we're even being slightly competitive when it really matters, we just crumble.

    hard to say where the fault lies, but id love to know how much attention its getting in practice at the moment, cause its not resulting in effective execution on the court :(

    Ooh! Let's make a list of the RipCity2 Basket of Deplorables. We'll all chip in a few bucks to get Sly somethin' reeaal nice for Christmas in exchange for wielding the ban-hammer. To quote Trump, it would be a beautiful thing, believe me.

    Well let's face it anyway, this season we weren't gonna win anything anyway especially when you see how GSW has clicked, they are insane. Cleveland is great too. Now with how the west has gotten worse it's still possible to get to the 2nd round again but that's up to the team and what trades happen, effort on defense, etc. if this team can make the right trades all the way through next season, we can be very good and compete next season, possibly be a contender because this team has all the talent in the world, they just can't put it together it seems.

    On another's note, I blocked tunchi long ago. He likes reactions it seems like a troll would but sometimes it's actually believable that he's just a negative person. How many fucking times last season did we hear from him that dame is "feast or famine". That fucking line drove me crazy. Dame averages 28 points a game this year and 6 assists. He just improves every year. I don't think he's good for the forum but I mean whatever people can block him, they don't have to see his bullshit. I'm just surprised he made it this far. He has gotten many people including myself even more salty after a loss.

    Trying to lose to get a higher pick is a dumb idea unless you really do it and go for the first pick in the draft (or top 3). The difference between picking 10th and 17th is not that vast, Cauley-Stein went 6th in the same draft that saw Myles Turner drafted at 11th.

    I agree with you buddy I was ready for the lottery last year but we all know how that went.

    Dame and Cj are still young we have time to lottery shop this year. I'm ready for that path.

    I for one appreciate @Tunchi and his "alternate" views. This place is enough of a circle jerk as-is.

    If you don't like it, use the motherfucking ignore feature. How hard can it be?

    I believe there's a little bit of Tunchi inside every one of us.
    You can feel it burning inside your soul whenever the likes of Matthew Dellavedova or Tim Frazier are dominating your favorite team.

    Differing opinions and outlook on life are certainly welcome. It would be boring if we are all the same.

    We've won 4 of our last 6 games. You're focusing only on the negative. Acknowledge the positive too.

    Mind you I wish great success for this franchise it's my favorite team! But I just tell it how it is like for instance I think Dame has improved A LOT this year. Even his defense made slight improvements granted it still sucks.

    Anyways all I'm saying is last year was a waste of time and I think this year is looking like that as well. Why not try the alternative?
