    That didn't make the All-Star Game.

    Realistically we have four guys that could hound him into submission. Davis and Crabbe could do the bulk of the work.

    I like how we used the same ducking strategy we used in the playoffs: let Deight dominate early, so the rest of the team gets impatient, then watch them forget about him.

    Gonna get real interesting second half of the season with seeds 5-8. Memphis without gasol, Utah, Mavs, Portland, Houston all fighting. We have a tough schedule for the second half. Doesn't help we start off the break at golden state where they are undefeated

    I like seeing Harkless, Aminu and Davis on the court..they have chemistry on defense

    What I love SO MUCH about this team is they're NOT SOFT. Not physically or emotionally or mentally. As they get to the point of gainimg some playoff experience one thing I WILL NO LONGER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT is my team being too soft to win a series. Awesome.

    Or, perhaps we're just not obsessed with being the cool kid who tells everyone else how lame they are, and are more interested in actually enjoying the team we root for.

    Nah, more likely it's what you said.

    Utah doesn't have a star. They have some really solid players though. They need a go-to-guy.

    Definately like the way this team is put together compared to last year. Although they aren't as talented yet, they don't live and die by the three and play tougher. The second half will be interesting.

    Eh, 14.9 ppg, 14.89 PER... I think he's got a ways to go.

    Maybe Exum eventually though.

    The cool kid? I'm fully aware I hold a very unpopular opinion around here when it comes to the quality of parts of this roster.

    Leonard is a defensive liability who can shoot and is prone to spazzing out on the court. I've seen enough and I don't like watching him play.

    The guys in the red jerseys reminded me of the Felton/Crawford Blazers.

    Not looking full season. Look at what he's done in 2016.
