    Dame, CJ, Powell is not better. Hart is the difference.

    If they have 2 way forwards up and down the roster, why did Hart play 48 minutes at PF? OG played 42.

    Maybe.

    A lot of ego for a team that's never been anywhere.

    We need to be Patient and draft well with some luck we could be like the wolves/ thunder. Just to have to pay our dues being garbage for many years first.

    Nuggets stink. 32% shooting, that's Blazers/Hornets accuracy

    Murray might get suspended for game 3.

    He threw a heat pack onto the floor in a sign of frustration against the refs.

    Wow, Jokic getting his MVP award is going to be aw-kward. At least David Robinson got his before he got his ass kicked...

    They have 4 or more above average starters we have 0.

    We need to dump the irrelevant Grant/Brogdon/etc vets and try to get a couple good young pieces.

    After we have a couple good young starters I like the idea of bringing in some vets how the Wolves did with Conley/Gobert though. But first you need a core, Edwards/Kat, Shai/Jalen/Chet, etc

    And if you look at their core players, they’re not even in the same age bracket. How does that happen?

    They have:
    • 2-way forwards;
    • Defense up and down the roster
