    check your sarcasm meter CJ

    the craziest thing about those lists, other than there were almost no breakthroughs by non playoff teams...is that Denver was 22nd in defense after being 8th last season. Did KCP mean that much to their team defense? Jokic did play 9 fewer games this season than last season

    still, that's a huge drop-off

    They stole a franchise FAMS! I probably, no I DEFINITELY root against them more that any other team in the league for that reason. That city doesn’t deserve ANYTHING.

    Is this the new trend?

    GMs gone over the past 2 weeks:
    - Booth in DEN
    - Griffin in NO
    - McNair in SAC
    - Fields in ATL

    Yet we doubled down with Joe. The Fields one is surprising. Thought he made good moves.

    I'm okay with Joe. No proven good GM is going to take this job.

    Rockets shoot 21% from three...Again, teams are going to live and die by the 3ball.

    If they need a job and this one is open, they'll fucking take it... maybe not for the same price as Joe and maybe we have to pay a higher premium than bigger markets but we could get whatever "proven good GM" that doesn't have a job when the carousel stops. The fact is this is an exercise in futility because we've got Joe for the foreseeable future along with Chauncey, if Bert can be managed by those two maybe we can see if the vision they have for our team is viable.

    I disagree. A proven good GM will not have a shortage of opportunities, nor will they have much financial motivation to take the first job opening.

    They aren't going to settle for being micromanaged by Bert.

    I’ll bite on this.
    The fans didn’t really do the stealing though. The owner/management probably should hold the blame on that.
    I agree the team was stolen and I also don’t want them to succeed.
    It would be nice for the NBA to fix that wrong. It’s been long enough.

    Here’s a thought. Now that the thunder are arguably the best team in the league maybe Seattle should steal the team back?

    Maybe talked about before, but I’m watching the Clippers and they have six former Blazers!

    Batum, Mills, Powell, Jones Jr., Eubanks and Dunn!
