    Well, if you are like me, you are frustrated with how things went this season and off-season. And maybe CJ realizes he needs to be a better distributor and maybe Stotts realizes that and maybe CJ and the coaches have organized some kind of drill he can do that would help. But if they have, we sure haven't heard about it and so my frustration continues. I know there has been some vague talk about changing things but I haven't heard from the GM, the coach or the players taking strong responsibility for how things went wrong and talking about how damn hard they are going to be working to rectify the situation. Maybe I am just an old-timer, but I would like to hear that.

    The lack of responsibility for that meltdown is rediculous. So many excuses have been made. "Unfortunate circumstances", "buzzsaw", "matchup nightmare", "Ed Davis"....

    I find a lot of humor in a bunch of front runner fans criticizing a pro athlete's accomplishments.

    Yes i'm frustrated! I see other Teams in Western Conference improved and we did absolutely nothing! This shit sucks man, and it looks like the owner is okay with that after we got swept in the 1st Round, there is absolutely no reason to be Happy about our Situation. But that's just my oppinion

    They used to be Lakers fans, then Clippers fans, now Warriors fans.....but the Lakers and Clippers are roommates...I always thought they sold reversible jerseys...Lakers on one side, Clippers on the other.

    You're right, they are probably mutually exclusive.

    Maybe the dumbest take of the year.

    Hats off to C.J. for telling it like it is. He’s got my respect for calling out the freeloaders like Durant and Cousins.

    To be fair, Neil did *attempt* to remedy the “double Dame and CJ” at all costs game plan with who we did sign - whether you like them or not - I really struggle to believe they would bail off of Stauskas, Seth Curry, maybe even Trent as they did with pretty much everyone on our roster - as numerous teams have done for years, leaving Harkless and Aminu wide open.

    Not saying the signings were good - but it’s a lie to say we did nothing.

    Yeah, they'll bail off Nurkic when the pick n roll is ran 30ft away from the rim and then recover because Nurkic isn't good enough with the ball 30ft away from the rim.

    If Stauskas is playing we're screwed.
