    Denver just paying us bad for that awful Afflalo trade, where we gave up the better player and the first for the worse player on an expiring contract.

    I'll keep saying it. Hcp come at me. Westbrook is overhyped. 40 points on 40 shots lmao get outta here. Fades in fourth as usual. Acts like he's Michael Jordan. FOH. He got outplayed by Lillard, yet none of those TNT fools even mention it.

    im up to the 4th Q now

    it's so fuckin cool to have a beast in the paint.

    decent picks
    pick n rolls
    give n go
    intimidation
    run the floor
    key and post passer
    bball IQ
    hustle and grit
    not meyers


    he just keeps on giving. i hope somewhere Sabonis is seeing this and has a little smirk of approval.

    I cant wait to see what this team can do once we figure out trimming the fat of Crabbe, Turner, Meyers etc

    if we can trade some combo of that and aminu if neeeded to get a legit PF this team could really do something good.

    Oh and give me a break with this Russ is a one man show and has no help theory. He's got two awesome big men. Kanter is one of the better low post scorers in the NBA. Adams is probably top 5 defensively. Gibson is a great addition. Oladipo is solid on both ends. Roberson is a lock down defender. Abrines is a great shooter. Etc etc. They may only have one superstar, but he's complimented well. Presti is legit.

    Russ also leads the league in uncontested rebounds... as a guard. Meaning he makes it a point to pad his stats and go grab all those boards that are meant for the bigs, and his teammates aide him in that. It's too bad 20 years from now people will look back at his stats from this year and compare him to the Big O and Wilt. He's a hell of a player but a terrible teammate.

    Because his team is better? Kind of my point.

    Although with Nurkic the gap is closer.
