    Simons was the only guy who scored any points of the bench.

    More losses, and still no accountability. All the injuries have given Stotts another excuse.

    That was like "I don't care."

    I'm not an anti-Stotts guy. There are things I disagree with him on, but, in general, I don't think he's terrible. But this team's hustle and body language and the way it's consistently knuckled under at the first tough stretch every game is very concerning to me.

    Yeah, I know injuries. I also know this team still is pretty talented and underperforming by A LOT right now.

    So to beat the Blazers is just let Whiteside score and guard Dame and CJ

    I called it at 2:15 that the Blazers weren't going to score again. Sometimes it's not fun being right all the time ;)

    Barkley keeps saying break up the Blazers. He's right, but not in the way he thinks. It won't break my heart if Olshey and Stotts are gone this summer. Change is inevitable. Sometimes it's neccessary. It's time.

    Neil says there best friends on & off court. That's why we can't trade them.

    Obviously our bench is lacking (to say the least) with the injuries that we have, but 9 points for the game!? And all by 1 guy.....

    Dame didn't look very engaged and after his statement the other day about the team needing to basically be perfect to win games, perhaps he is coming to the reality of what this team really is.

    Trent - for someone who is supposed to be a shooter, he can't his sh!t.

    I think breaking up this team would be stupid. Knee-jerk reactions is what turn you into the Sacramento Kings.

    This team is devastated by injuries. It's underperforming, but the roster is very intriguing and I think can compete with pretty much anyone when healthy. Now, that might be next year, when pretty much everyone still will be back. So why the heck do you make some kind of panic trade or break the team up when you have such a good, healthy roster? Barkley's way off-base on this.

    Changes, if any, are off the court, not with the roster.

    1-16 in closeout Playoff series in the last 4 years and that one win was with Steph Curry out. Not sure what is different even when they were more healthy.
