    If Meyers doesn’t play tonight he’s definitely getting traded soon.

    Box out Ed... why the hell did you run to the front of the rim? Box the fuck out.

    These past 3 halves, we've failed on simple fundamentals, such as boxing out, not fouling a jumpshooter, etc.

    It's pathetic. That's stuff you get pulled out of High School games for. That's stuff that you learn in Elementary School.

    That's what's frustrating with the team. They can get a great win at OKC without Dame, and then they get too jaded and lose focus, thus not being able to execute even the simplest of fundamentals.

    Our defense is also back to last years levels recently. This team can't focus on both sides of the ball. It's either/or. It's rather pathetic.

    It's been every game on this road trip. He doesn't say anything positive even when someone does something good.

    Because they can't consistently execute the fundamentals. It's why I don't like Stotts.

    This is probably therapy for him. He's never allowed to write anything negative about the team, Olshey always give the scoops to Woj. And he's doing his best to tank the radio broadcast so they don't try and replace Wheels.
