    Another great night for Moses Brown, 20pts and 11rebs on 6/10 shooting.

    GTJ with a career high 31pts on 12/22 shooting.

    Good for him. May have to rename him Jermaine O’Trent.

    JJ Redick none too happy with the Pelicans front office. That might hurt their chances in the future. You just don't want the reputation that you cannot be trusted.

    We're 29-18 and in contention for home court advantage! Moses wouldn't have got the time and opportunity needed here to blossom as he has in OKC.

    Drummond having problems in his Lakers debut. Has had to change shoes a couple of times, left the court. One of his toes appears to be injured.

    Rodney Hood hurt his hip tonight and sounds like it's gonna have him out for a while.

    I'd say it's a lot more on Stotts than Olshey.

    Thunder are trying to tank but their players are winning too many games.

    Brown was awful last year. We were trying to make playoffs. OKC is trying to tank. So which team gives Brown big minutes? A team trying to lose does.

    Which always leads you back to the guy who has kept Stotts around for 9 seasons and that's Olshey.

    Fuck they got one. Superstar. 20 & 10 on 54% per 36... As a third option. Nuggets have the perfect core to build around going into this off-season. Their management is damn good. And Nurkic was just a throwaway to them.

    Are you guys really trying to make Stotts or Olshey look bad for getting rid of Moses Brown? Really?
    Seriously this is almost a sickness with some of you now? We're talking Moses Brown. MOSES BROWN. Who plays big minutes for the Thunder. The OKC Thunder. Moses Brown SMH....

    Moses Brown was just 1-5 and put up a dismal 4-10 from Free Throw 40% with 6 total points (4 from the FT line) was a -24 in a 21 point loss to the Mavs. Yes he got 9 rebounds in 30 minutes.

    If a Blazer put up numbers like that you all would be crucifying Stotts and Olshey for not playing Giles who wouldn't do much better.

    Absolutely Ridiculous.

    No, YOU'RE confused. The point of every thread on every subject is to figure out a way to bash Stotts and/or Olshey!

    There haven't been many pictures recently posted on the bodacious babes thread, do you know why? Fucking Stotts.

    And TNT complicit; they never replay the original play, which was not a foul.

    I don't think he got that much better just with more minute; I think he got some good basic big man coaching.

    Is he better than Harry Giles? Almost certainly. He's also younger and taller. Did we have an open roster spot so that we could've had BOTH if we wanted? Absolutely. Did we have a need for a warm body at C with Nurk and Collins out? 100% Are OKC actually WINNING with him, despite having one of the youngest starting lineups in recorded history? Yes.
