    The warriors seem unsettled, unusual for them

    If they really want to tank, would love to send Keon and Greg for Vanderbilt. We would be committing to small-ball, but I think we could make it work with the size and physicality of our 3s and 4s. The backup unit could be switch-heavy and feature Jerami, whose rebounding shortcomings would be covered up by Hart, GP, and Vanderbilt.

    Lillard (32)/Simons (16)
    Simons (16)/Hart (32)
    Winslow (24)/Payton (24)
    Grant (28)/Little (20)
    Nurkic (28) /Vanderbilt (20)

    Obviously we'd need Shaedon minutes, Hart seems to have the starting position on lock-down, and there are certain combos you just can't put out there because of lack of shooting, but that would be a filthy physical team.

    Was it really your hood or was it where you do that leaf blower thing?

    It lets you change the vote. You can be correct right now and if they win another game.

    Phoenix destroying Golden State. The Blazers beat Phoenix. The Blazers then must be better than the Warriors.

    I did that right didn't I?

    I don’t see this Warriors team repeating this season. Their defense looks terrible. They’ve allowed 70+ points in the 1st half 3 times this season. Klay Thompson can’t play D like before. They’re missing GP2 and Otto Porter Jr a lot.

    I get he’s a hustler and all, but Winslow’s lack of shooting makes me not want to see him for more than 10mpg, let alone 24.

    Keon + Brown isn’t going to get Vanderbilt imo. Another name to look at is Precious Achiuwa. He might cost less or more, I’m not totally sure, but a player of that type is what we need.

    What does Achiuwa really offer that someone like Watford doesn't? Neither are really center sized. Doesn't seem worth the cost if we have a similar caliber player already here.

    Thats what happens when you are missing 3 of your 5 starters thought right?

    Dude also had double-digit assists, and his team won without its two best players, so I'm not inclined to agree with your "full MeJ" assessment.

    Correct. Kind of hard to believe huh? Now you've got people actively coming out completely bashing the coast too. Like Chad Doing. @THE HCP went at him on Twitter about his comments though!
