    Not everything is about you. I want to ignore Strenuus. You're fine. I like you. I didn't even know you were a mod.

    If I'm Dame then I'm starting to get worried. Either they need a find a coach who knows how to use the players available or he demands they trade for some more help. There is no way he should be doing this much heavily lifting EVERY GAME. The last 10 or so games they are going to be absolutely pooped.

    It's like he called the wrong names out? Then said " Oh what the hell..."

    Which sucks, because I really like Ed as a role player off the bench. But you may be right. I have thought the same we drafted the two bigs. Obviously I think it will depend on how we're playing come the trade deadline.

    I'm not wired that way either, but I'm getting closer to just saying screw it. Trade CJ, and try to get two top 7 picks to rebuild around Dame, Nurk, and Collins. It'd probably be the best move.

    Those other players weren't playing well though. Hark and Noah can't hit a jumper, they only score when they get an assist near the rim. Contributions from Nurk would have been welcome, but I have no idea what was up with him tonight.

    A win would've put us a half game from 3 seed and 2 games from Warriors. A loss and everything is terrible. Let's win the next three and go 11-7. Time for a win streak.

    Nurk needs a LOT of work to build around, IMO. He has his nights of good play, sure... but jesus he's one of the laziest with the ball, then shoots it too hard. Then whines and flops. It's gotten really annoying.

    Eww. If I trade CJ I'm wanting a player of similar value. I don't want to be perpetually building with draft picks that don't pan out most of the time. That will be a waste of Dame's prime. I would like to get him at least one really good look at a championship if it's at all possible.

    Is tomorrow a must win, given the opponent and what happened tonight?

    I think that questioning Stotts at this point is legitimate.

    There are three close losses this season that stick out in which poor coaching proved costly, against 3 bad teams we need to beat 10/10 times

    - P&R Coverage against LAC. Should have won that game, but Stotts stubbornness allowed Griffin to do as he pleased.
    - Nets loss. Stotts literally allowed the worst team in the East to dictate his rotations.
    - Tonight's loss to Sac. 2nd Quarter rotations, sacrificing rebounds in 4th with 3 guard lineup, poor offensive execution down stretch

    Just my thoughts
