    Yeah, because the reason we often lose games is because of the same fixable flaws that were refuse to fix. Or a lack of energy and effort.

    Word is Casspi didn't have many friends in the Warriors locker room last year either.

    Paul George has been a top 5 player this year.

    OKC's defense is no joke either. A bunch of elite athletes that can fly around and really cause havoc.

    Allows them to really load to the ball and still do a good job closing out to the 3 point line.

    If I've said it once, I've said it a hundred times: you don't build a team around a PF. He'd make a great secondary star, but unless he plays under Pops ain't no way a PF gonna lead a team to a championship.

    Hey, the Grizzlies finally found a home for MarShon Brooks and Wayne Selden after that disaster where they were told they were traded.

    Hope this trade improves the Griz just enough to drop them in the draft order to screw the Celtics out of getting the Griz's 2019 FRP.

    You would rather have Memphis get another top-8 pick than have the Celtics get it?

    Why do all the other teams lose games as well? I imagine it's similar to why we lose some games. We do have one of the better records in the west against teams .500 and above.
