    Nurk did miss his last FT in OT, but I'll take 8-9 any day.

    We can't have an 11 man rotation. What guys do you want out of the rotation? Eubanks and...?

    But Eubanks has to be replaced by someone who isn't in the rotation so he doesn't really count. I actually think we keep playing all of the guys that are currently in rotation and add GP2 when he comes back until we make a consolidation trade. All of these guys are capable NBA rotation players that should have value to other NBA GMs and you wouldn't want to ruin that value by taking them out of the rotation. So at some point I see a trade coming but you don't cut the PT or Dame, Ant, Hart, Grant, Nurk, Winslow, Little or Sharpe and you actually need another guy with size to play with these guys and to get GP2 PT once he's well.

    I like Eubanks. I think he’s doing a good job.

    I don't know who to take out of the rotation, but it's nice to finally not have out-right bums in the rotation.

    There are a few who aren't great (Drew comes to mind), and a few that are still needing some fine tuning (mostly Little and Sharpe)...but all in all, it's not like the team has an obvious Anthony Tolliver/Mario Hezonja type craphead coming off the bench.

    Consolidation trade? We’re required to have a certain amount of players. We already have one spot open. No need for trade. Just play the best players.

    I miss those years where in the preseason, we'd hear we had one of the deeper benches in the league because we had Harry Giles, Melo, Kanter, and Rodney Hood (who are all out of the league 2 years later).

    I think Eubanks is doing okay. Lots of activity and a thorn in the side of the opponents

    Just sat down at home…I was a bit busy tonight. How did the 2nd coming of Michael Jordan do in his 2nd career game? Let me go check the “Trade Dame and Start Sharpe” thread real quick.

    Then why did you pick them to only win 39 games?

    Blazers 2-0
    Suns 1-1
    Heat 0-2

    I tried to tell you.

    @Chris Craig please put your dog on a leash and have him quit following me around the forum tossing annoying posts my way. Please. This shit is officially getting old. You are his spokesman here remember. Please.

    Duh.
    It's almost as if we have a GM who recognizes that Attitude is Talent.
    A GM who has given this team, a complete attitude adjustment. With dawgs running the pound now.
    This will become a team that, regardless of record, will truly believe they will win every night.
    That's just the start.
    I'm lovin this team. The "vision" I had of them all summer, while sticking up for Mr. C., is looking real.

    Yeah. I do not get the Eubanks hate, either.
    Dude is a solid backup, and if ya pay attention, he does a shitload of the dirty work.

    Yeah @THE HCP . Why are you not totally changing your belief about the team after they've played 2.4% of the season. That's a pretty big sample size. Utah Jazz are 2-0, they are the title favorites!
