    The answer to your question is Memphis but that's besides the point. Good teams beat bad teams. We're a good team. We'll win our share of games against playoff teams though. We blew out Cavs and Warriors last year. We are the same team that did that plus Turner.

    I think they understand that, but they find it difficult to put into practice. I think they've started the second half with the same level of effort they finished the first with; but they needed to come out hard, and step on Miami's throat.

    Dragic always seems to kill us, especially when he was in Phoenix.

    Stepping on the opponents throats is something that great teams do. It's something this team has struggled to do for a LONG time.

    WE AREN'T A GOOD TEAM. Memphis is the only one. That's not how we were last season. At all. We could beat good teams, blow out bad teams towards the end of the season. You just don't know basketball. That's all there is to this. You dismiss the glaring issues and always look for whatever sunshine and flowers there are which can be good and bad and in this case, bad.

    Umm we have all the same main players as last year. And if you want to talk last year, we started last year 11-20. This year, we are 10-10. Thus, this year we are better, thanks.

    I can't remember the last time we were ruthless like that. It's definitely something we need to learn. We might even need a veteran acquisition to teach us that.

    But do you at least agree that the team will be noticeably improved when Aminu comes back? Would you be surprised if Aminu came back next game and we ended up going 14-6 in our next 20?

    Dame is very ruthless like that. Don't you remember him drilling three after three in Steph's face even though the game had already been decided when we blew them out last year? Or what about that game against Memphis this year when Dame just stuck 30 footer after 30 footer?

    You are delusional straight up. Yeah we started 11-20, that doesn't make this okay. That was when the team started and was new to each other. You don't go from competing with GS to not even competing and finishing bad teams. Just not how it works. Guys got paid. Turner has been decent as of lately but not the signing we hoped for so far. Defense has been TERRIBLE. You would make an excuse up for this team to be good no matter what and that is the most delusional shit I have ever seen. Calling people fairweather fans just because they don't think we are a good team. I have watched every game, all the blow outs, fuck outta here. Last game I witnessed you calling somebody an asshole once again because they didn't agree with you and you didn't like what they were saying. You don't know basketball. At all.
