    Wow, Orlando's offense is so putrid to watch. It makes our defense look passable.

    Love when we run sets for Benton, not!!!

    good confidence boost for what is supposed to be our future both Scoot and Sharpe off the bench! Damn getting frustrated especially after Scoot just had his best 5 game stretch

    He is a fucking idiot. No and ifs or buts. He just cares about his legacy of a losing coach. Doesn’t care about player development in the least. Horrible horrible coach. Defend him when we get the 10 th pick, ok????!!!!!

    Love it! The team is playing to win, as they should. Could you imagine stunting the growth of a winning mentality for the chance to move from the 7th to the 4th pick. Blows my mind. This is a talented team who simply needs to grow.

    Love Banton's game tonight.

    Sorry but a win ain’t good. I get it, it feels nice to win but in the long haul it’s bad. This team is shaping up to be a perpetual 9 or 10 seed. Just bad decision making to blow off a draft with 3 super promising candidates. Stupid. Winning with vets when you are a bottom feeder is asinine. You will never convince me otherwise.

    Do you think we run sets for Banton? I think he just calls his own number.

    Hi there - having sat through that awful home stand last week - I must ask - why are we now trying to win?

    Up by almost 20 and he’s running the starters into the ground pretty much. Both Joe and Chauncey are horrible at their jobs if the goal is to create a contender.

    how is playing Ant and Grant and timelord developing the team? I don’t think some members understand how the nba works.

    Two injured guards (Harris and Anthony) plus a FRP for Ant and Rupert.

    All still under 30 minutes is "running them into the ground"?
