    Bingo. Happens against any team that knows our tendencies and takes away our first look or simply extends the pressure.

    I was just saying the exact same thing. That's on Stotts.

    Lillard is being owned by Patty Mills. So much for being a superstar.

    Is Shaq the first player to have his number retired by 3 teams?

    This is a decent offensive team. Especially when you consider their efficiency, and how imbalanced they are (guard heavy, with zero inside presence).

    I'm not a fan of all the window dressing BS that happens 30 feet from the hoop and wastes 15 seconds of the shot clock and generally does nothing for our offense.

    The amount of errors on defense is Honestly comical. It's like everyone's brain is moving a few seconds slower than the other team. By the time they recognize what they should be doing the guy has already blown by them.

    I'm not denying that we're playing badly, but don't totally discount the Spurs. They've still got 3 of their best four players out there. Leonard, Aldridge, Mills, Gasol.

    I don't think anyone is discounting them. We're actually pointing out many of the things they are doing well.

    damnit, there was nothing better on.

    Chamberlain was retired by the Lakers, Warriors and 76ers.

    You're right, Leonard, Mills, and Gasol are really good.
