    That is a small minded way to look at it... anyone can clearly see this team is flawed. They will not succeed long term... and other teams will start to pass us as their young talent develop if we keep trying to force this McLillard combo

    On Nurk I have been disappointed in his play this year. I getting to believe he is his plain lazy at times. When was the last time he grab double digit rebounds in a game. Want is averaging 7 rebs a game and as big as he is he should be grabbing over 10 game. Last year we see him being aggressive not so much this year. For us to be anything this year he has to live up to his potential. He not the only one that been disappointment Turner is the other one that don't live up his potential either.

    I think Nurk's a major rhythm player and early foul trouble fucks with his game. Not that that's an excuse, but it might help explain it. I dunno, I'm struggling to make sense of it. It's kind of baffling.

    We are 6th in West and haven't even had a respectable win streak yet. Perspective. Clippers are on 7 game losing streak. We're doing "okay." "Okay" means more nights like this than any fan would like but until we sign forwards who can score, this is what we have. And this is why most of us wanted Melo. At least, OKC is worse than us. We have that little thread of joy.

    I only say it because losing back to back night away/home to a 4-11 team is... there's no excuses. That's why I pose the question.

    Nobody anywhere has ever accused Kingspeed of being small minded

    Will OKC be below us in the standings come seasons end? I would venture to say no, IMO.

    CJ/Meyers for Anthony Davis seems fair

    Do you not realize we have just played the easiest part of our schedule... and other teams are getting adjusted to new players...

    Why? They suck. Westbrick is horrible. Takes the most shots no matter how bad he is shooting and he has two scorers in his frontline.

    And it was funny because he said anything more than 3 losses during this stretch is bad (or some other variant of the word).... just... interesting to be so confident, then rationalize it after each loss, to which we have more than doubled the 3 losses.

    I think tomorrow we'll see an effort like we did against Denver following the Brooklyn loss. At least I hope.... And I'll be happy to see it, but then be asking myself why we have to reach such lows before we decide to play hard.
