    Of course Giannis went off and we lost. We were playing without our starting 7 foot power forward. Not to mention Little. Too many injuries to beat a team like Milwaukee.

    Collins would have fouled him 6 times. Next.

    Can't beat the good teams when they lose 3 out of 4.

    Same as it ever was.

    Are the healthy Lakers and Sixers good teams?

    Adding something to my criticism of Nurk. To be fair to him, he might legitimately have something going on emotionally or psychologically. It's been documented how the death of his grandmother affected him, and some people don't get through something like that quickly or ever. If that's somehow part of what's going on with him, his performance is more understandable, and I don't want to be critical of someone trying to go about their life while dealing with depression. He's on the floor entertaining me, but I don't own his life. I just hope if that is the case that he's got a good support system to help get him through it.

    Zach is not a part of this team. Stop talking about a guy whose numbers are virtually meaningless. That is not an excuse. Zach would have got five points, five boards, one block and fouled out in twenty minutes. Zach is not an excuse!!! I can not overstate that. Also, how is Zach our starting PF when Neil said that RoCo and DJ were our starting forwards when we still thought that Zach would play in January???

    I’d give you Dallas too. So 3 of 29 wins were quality wins.

    I really think they need to bring Powell off the Bench and make it a three guard rotation. Give the minutes ant had tonight to DJJ. Would give the Second unit a little more punch.

    Did we throw a double at Giannis or try a zone once?

    Stotts just said, "It's tough to double-team Giannis because he is out on the court."

    Seriously? Dame is out farther than anyone and teams figure out (easily) how to double-team him all the time.

    I'm sorry, but that's fucking pathetic

    Melo spurned the Blazers at least twice if not three times until Portland was the only team that would sign him. And the Blazers are the "custodians of melo's legacy"? It's kind of infuriating...and yeah I know that tweet is from 5 months ago

    You don't want "Consistency" were you help from. You are not supposed to do it the same way every time. You are not supposed to do it every time either. If you do it won't work.

    I'm not anti-Melo anymore, but I do agree that his legacy should have zero impact on any move we make. I think it's important that everyone understand this directive is coming from up top, not the bench.
