    But a much worse defender (until/unless he starts caring about my defense).

    Warriors for sure. Other than that Timberwolves, don’t see many more. Kings won’t make the playoffs, neither will Grizzlies probably. Clippers are 50/50, Denver will probably make it at the expense of Minnesota. Teams like Utah, New Orleans and Spurs will all be around the line, we’ll see on which side.

    Why do people think TT played defense?

    He was a liability...

    No athletic scholarships in D3. The school did what it had to in lieu of that option.

    And JC transfers usually aren't on academic scholarships...

    Tough break for the Lakers. I don't mind though.

    Looks like they were down 25 after 3 and rested the starters in the 4th. But no one was missing.

    Who will play point guard minutes aside from Rondo now? Caruso, Bonga?

    I don't get what's wrong with them this season. Probably just a phase (like the Rockets and OKC have already passed through.) They need to trade us Sefolosha and that'll fix it.

    He should definitely get in trouble but do you really think someone should serve 7 years of their life in prison for that?

    Mandatory? I think a judge should be able to use their discretion when sentencing.

    Mandatory minimum sentences are a violation of our 6th amendment rights.

    But that's a whole other thread.

    Do you think they have enough outside shooting to meet certain pre-season expectations? And are they good enough on D to make up for it?

    Im totally against measure 11.
    Another screwy Oregon law but the legislature doesn't seem to concerned about. I wish it would come up fro a vote again.

    Mitchell took the league by storm last year. I'm not entirely convinced he's as good as his reputation (seems like a Lou Williams type to me), plus defenders may have figured him out to some extent. Rubio had a career year on offense, and Ingles can't shoot much better than he has. Where else is the offense going to come from consistently?
