    Last year it was Stauskas in front of Layman when Layman would kill it whenever he went in.

    A team that doesn’t make the playoffs in a stacked Western conference doesn’t mean they are not a good team. Especially at home.

    If you think me putting you in your place is you being in my head, so be it.

    We often need a 4 that can defend inside and out (the perimeter), pretty simple really. Aminu and Tolliver can do both. Bigger guys like Skal/Hassan not so much.

    Man, I don't know what you naysayers are all bunged up about. I see a team that has superior talent than last season, 4 games into a season after a massive roster overhaul, fight back on the second of a back to back on the road. Quit your bitching. I'm taking receipts of you motherfuckers when we gell and start kicking ass. Christ....

    Tolliver was actually solid tonight. Frustrating that he couldn't hit that 3, but he wasn't horrible tonight.

    Let s be clear Tolliver Did not have a good game, he played good defense that different. The guy is a 3 point specialist who miss wide open 3 points and the most crucial shot of the night... That is not a good game. Being half bad when the team is horrible is not enough .

    Pop is one of the, if not the, greatest NBA coach in history. They LITERALLY fought back tonight

    Thanks for the reminder. I was hoping Layman would stay in the rotation last season but all those games where he lead us in scoring went ignored.

    Missed Zach's presence at the rim tonight.

    Gutsy 4th from Dame. Dude looked sluggish all night prior.

    Solid by his standards I'd say.

    No. I'm saying, clearly, that this is a brand new roster and they have superior talent to last season, and they need time to gell. That's it. There's no spinning your shit around that. You either agree or disagree. That's it.

    His ability to bitch at the refs to get his way is legendary.

    You mean how Pop's team had to "fight back
    It's no more of a coaching issue when Dame couldn't throw it in the ocean
    Trying to convince the unarmed in a point of logic is really trying. I admire your effort, but the "we'll be down 10 in the first six minutes" and "well coached teams never have to fight back" crowd is a tough sell.
    God knows I've tried.

    There are other aspects to the game besides 3 point shooting. Of course, Stotts ignores that and make it the priority. Skal is a good shooter too by the way... we wouldn't know considering Stotts has pushed him to embrace the "garbage man" role.
