    Bullshitting and laughing with players from the other team.

    Both coaches have small, non-defensive backcourts that the team is built around. Not sure what miracles either of them will be able to conjure up.

    Today, maybe we are garbage, but maybe not. Remember, just 6 weeks ago many people thought we were really good.

    Again, change for the sake of change isn't a theory I buy. I always want the team to increase their assets. No player is untradable, but no player has to be traded; it's all about what you get in return.

    jerami's shooting is a massive reason for us sucking of late. if his regression is more indicative of how he will be the rest of the season, we can't also play hart next to him in the starting lineup.

    need to get a shooter in that role

    I don't think it's a fair question to ask with such an incredibly flawed roster that definitely doesn't work with his philosophy. We have one legit big and he doesn't move well. Chauncey has a philosophy of movement. We need much more size that moves well in order to judge if Chauncey is completely inept or not. He's obviously coaching this roster poorly. He should be able to get more wins out of this group than he has but it's not like he should be getting a lot more. This bench sucks... it has no size, it's almost laughable.

    Nah, he loves destroying the Blazers. Seems to be his favorite team to beat. But, then I guess the Blazers are everybody's favorite team to beat.

    I hope PK buys the blazers and completely resets the clock from the top down. Everyone whining about trying to make the playin game is gonna get some harsh reality in 3 seasons when Dame is a spot up shooter in the corner making 50 mil a year. Look how fast Love fell off. He’s 2 years older. We are most likely fucked.

    and I love Dame.
