    Our 2nd unit is trash. It has been for years now because we keep keeping these shitty to mediocre players year after year and getting our hopes up.

    Ed Davis is the best backup big in the league. So no our second unit isn't trash.

    This sounds like something KS would say about his favorite player of the month. No offense to KS, he just can get overly hyped about his favorites. That's fine as long as you don't expect a ton of agreement.

    Vonleh and Bazz are good bench players too.

    I mean... aren't the majority of 2nd unit players by definition mediocre? Otherwise wouldn't they be 1st unit guys somewhere?

    Having an opinion about Collins is meaningless unless you've been to all the practices. That's the only place he's playing.

    What are people's thoughts on the Pelicans? Are they good? I'm not sure. Playoff team? Or "I bet you they are at least 8 games under .500 at the All Star break"? I can't tell.

    It's really discouraging to see both Biggie and Leonard play over a guy we traded quite a bit for.

    You dont think the warriors team is a playoff team, so i'll refrain from answering this.

    I never said the Warriors aren't a playoff team. I said out in first round IF they make the playoffs. But reading comprehension isn't your strong suit.

    If you’re a .500 team what the fuck difference does it make? Play for the future, now. If our FO believes Collins is the future, like they said, and we’re a .500 team, then play the man. Let’s go.
