    We only had like 6 games of it before Wes went down, but the Aldridge, Batum, Wes, Afflalo, Dame, line-up was incredible. Small sample size, but it was instantly amazing.

    That team was a contender. Anyone saying it wasn't has a poor memory. Pretty sure we had a top 5 offense and a top ten defense. Then added Afflalo to that. And if I remember correctly, Aldridge was destroying golden state every time we played them. Let's not forget that Memphis, with an injured team, made golden state look very mediocre, and was up 2-1.

    Whoever made it out of the west that year was gonna win the championship. And if we were healthy, we could've beat Memphis, we could've beat golden state, and then destroyed the rockets.

    Batum was our worst scorer in that lineup... all he had to do was rebound, defend, and pass. And he was surrounded by great shooters, and two amazing offensive players. And everyone but dame was an above average, to great defender.

    An injured Conley, pretty much shut curry down in the playoffs. Until he got injured again... We could've had Wes, batum, and Afflalo to throw at him all game... they're all better than Conley...

    Conspiracy theory: Neil wants to be fired.

    At their very best this core is nothing more than a homeless man's Golden State Warriors.

    You mean Golden State Warriors circa 2011-2012?

    This is more on Neil than it is Stotts.

    Olshey is the biggest scrub on this team.

    Terry may not be the answer but it's hard to say the way this roster was thrown together and how imbalanced it is. A trade needs to be made to move some of these wings. And to bring in more of a low post presence. So why is it not happening?

    The man is incompetent. But I've been saying this for a few years.

    Gotta give him until the trade deadline

    But if he doesn't make a move, my first question will be; is Neil just buying time on his contract? Scared to make any move, pushing this agenda about the future (aka this will take years to develop so give me more time please don't fire me)

    It's BULLSHIT that we have guys like Lillard and McCollum wasting their careers. Teams would kill to have one of those guys, nevermind two. It shouldn't be that hard to find some supporting players that actually compliment them.

    This team is beginning to feel like the Colts with Andrew Luck, only Lillard is our Luck.

    Lets give CJ some credit here. He cant do shit for defense, like the rest of the team, but he can at least freaking put that big round orange ball in the hoop unlike the rest not named Dame.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    This is starting to feel like the Colts with Andrew Luck and TY Hilton, only Lillard is our Luck and McCollum is our Hilton.

    Olshey doesn't want to be here anyhow. Paul should just do the inevitable.

    The trade deadline will determine my thoughts on Olshey. I've supported him and defended his moves in the past and as recently as this summer, but we all know moves need to be made.

    Well Paul won't be happy if we fail to make the playoffs this year. But he will put Neil and Stotts on notice get this team better or both will be out the door. So I can see one more year for both guys.

    It's only a matter of time until the local media turns up the heat on him. They should've been already. Well, it did get Ropp fired. Eggers? Is Vance still around?

    I miss Kenny Vance. I haven't heard him on air, or read anything from him in ages.
