    Surprising that a 3 game win streak would be the longest in the west. (2nd in the NBA)

    you just spent some energy talking about wasting energy

    that's like flying a Lear jet 2000 miles to give a speech about the dangers of carbon emissions. Well, maybe not quite

    I'm going to come at that from a different angle simply because every team in the league spends time playing without a C on the floor. I saw several defensive sets where Grant was on Porzingis and Watford was on Gafford. Which one was a C? I'm not even sure Porzingis is a C the way he plays

    I think for a player like Watford, calling him a C or a PF is seeing distinction when there is no difference

    Saying this for years
    A lot of coaching systems anymore don't even do the PF or C or even 1-2-3-4-5. They just break it down into bigs and guards.

    That Watford look away pass to Hart was a thing of beauty

    that could be the case

    for clarity of my own mind, I think of it as PG-Wing-Big; and the lines between are all blurred a little

    Where can I get these quarter zips that the coaching staff is rocking? Form fitting, sleek look.

    I don’t care where you’re from. If you’re good you’re good. I can listen to him calling games anytime

    Barrett sucked ass. He was also a douchebag. Can’t find enough makeup for that clown, honestly. I loved Rice though.

    Brandon Roy was from Seattle too…

    I think you trade him, just for a borderline all-star forward/wing who is 6'6" or taller, hedging towards 6'8"+ with length. Simons is so young, I hear you on the Dame + Ant thing, but I don't want to trade him unless it's for the kind of player I'm describing. I tell you what I definitely am not down for is trading Sharpe, and especially not trading both Sharpe and Ant, that would be an unmitigated disaster of the highest order. Anything short of KD tier player as the other end of a theoretical Ant and Sharpe going out scenario is a non-starter for me.
