    Lack of talent isn't why we're losing games. It's chemistry, effort, and closing mistakes (decision making, questionable lineups, poorly fitting parts). We've been in position to win nearly every game in the final possession, which doesn't happen if you only have .500 talent.

    And I know that Neil tried.... he went after PG13. He went after Melo. But in the end, we dumped Crabbe for literally nothing.

    Where do we go from here? We draft this kid next year:


    Mainly so we can see the reaction from @Mediocre Man

    Nothing wrong with Tinkle--he doesn't play center.

    We can't draft him if he keeps that haircut. Unacceptable.

    I fully believe any other GM would've traded us PG.

    That was a big win? They're struggling just as much as we are.

    So. How many people in here picked them for top 4 when it's all said and done?

    Exactly...

    How is that? I thought we did well to beat OKC. I was happy. I'm not changing an objection at all (whatever that means..).

    What did Vegas say the over/under was before the season started? 41.5 IIRC. Kinda sounds like the pace we are on.

    We need to find out where #42 is and sign him no matter the cost. He reminds me of John Stockton

    Surely you can see the shift if your argument?

    I don't think I shifted my argument at all no matter what you say. I believe that you were one of the people that said OKC was going to be good am I wrong? Just because they're struggling now doesn't mean that they will be toward the end of the season. My comment was reflecting that. I could give a damn if they're struggling now. Everyone in here said that they were going to be a top 4 team.

    So we beat a top-tier team in everybody else's eyes, but for some reason other that win doesn't get much love. I disagree.
