    He just shot a midrange 15 footer now! Whiteside couldn't shoot for shit last year now he's looking like The Texas Turnout out there!

    Now I hate we couldn't sign him even more, we would have had a rim protector and reliable scoring. Damn.

    Oh...well....forgive me: TWO days of rest. At home. My bad.

    I say we put Meyers in and have him cover Whiteside. What do we have to lose?

    The Heat team put the hurt on Utah, didn't they? We better respect them.

    I think inconsistency is the earmark of all young teams, in every sport. Given we're the second youngest roster in the NBA (only Philly is younger) I think it's to be expected.

    So we are at the point of excuses now for how badly this team plays? Great

    That's the right call. Johnson pushed Meyers for nothing.

    I'm loving Turner now. He's really getting comfortable with the team. Once Aminu comes back, we'll be a powerhouse in this league. When Aminu was playing, our only weakness WAS Turner. Now Turner is better.

    The pressure of expectation? Playing against a poor team, at home; we're expected to win.
