    Dame is averaging 54 points over the last two games and his teammates don’t have the common courtesy to give him a reach around.

    Well we got a pro in Ariza. Disappointed that coaching staff didn’t have better defensive gameplan after losing to these less than a week ago.

    This guy whiteside was celebrating a meaningless putback dunk after the shit performance he had on defense.

    dont think i have hated a player more than him for a while

    We found a way to defend Doncic. Leave his teammates so open that they don’t need him to score and he has an average game (for him).

    I think both are major liabilities on defense. Whiteside is solid inside 5ft. Using either of them to blitz, double, hedge, switch, etc is going to be a disaster.

    Melo is just happy to back in the league. I don’t blame him. Also playing him 35 MPG is not gonna work. He’s already slow enough on defense. By the time minute 30 comes along he might as well be a chair. I like him as a 6th man that comes in to score and can be pulled if he’s hurting you too much on the other end, but this is not the role for him if you wanna be a winning team.

    Im ok with Melo playing 48 minutes every night if Stotts has Biggie Swanigan behind him on his depth chart.

    Swanigan better go out in the next trade. He’s horrible.

    I just don’t get it... our country is huge, there’s a shit ton of white dudes, not one of them is a generational talent? Yet they’re all over the place in Eastern Europe?

    Positive:

    I saw Ariza make more swing passes in one game than Bazemore did in 40 games

    I heard on the radio this morning that Luka’s mom is super hot. Just thought I’d throw that in for no reason.
