    This team is lost offensively without Dame. Lost defensively without Thybulle.

    Watford is a fun player to watch. Such a weird hodgepodge of skills. He reminds me of a poor man's Draymond.

    Watford is surprisingly good for a 2nd year, undrafted player.

    Sure, he makes mistakes at times, but the blazers got a lot of value with him.

    I think he's learned a lot from Winslow

    Undoubtedly true, but Watford can really score and is at least a modestly credible threat from 3.

    Uniquely skilled for his size, but his defensive issues are really tough to overcome.

    Truly a man without a country.

    Shaedon Sharpe is responsible for our bad defense ! Everyone else is so much better.

    We aren’t very good, this loss could be huge come lottery time.

    I don't like how this team sometimes plays like they're much better than they are (or they're clueless about how bad they are).

    I finally figured out who Herb Jones looks like to me. He looks a bit like Marlo Stanfield from "The Wire.".

    I am listening to Mark Jackson and all i can think is why is he not in the league as a HC and can we replace Billups with Jackson. I am sure I am in the minority in thinking this but Jackson is smart and when I see Billups on the sidelines I want to put a chat / thought bubble over him that says -- "hmm what to do what to do ???? " cause a person can be a good basketball mind ON the court like he was but on the sidelines not sure it translates. I like Billups but I am coming to the conclusion he might not be the right man for the job.

    he just looks at guys instead of contesting at the rim. but most egregious for me is grant. he's pretty much just a volume scorer right now. giving us literally nothing else. no playmaking, ole defense, LOL rebounding.

    desperately need his athleticism on the glass but he's content getting his usual 4 per game in 36 mins.

    Yep I'm starting to become convinced that Billups is completely unable to adjust in game, or really over a season. What about Brad Stevens any way we can pry him from BOS front office?
