    Just watched the game. We lost cuz Melo was awful. Simons and GTJ did their jobs. Sucks to lose but too early to call off the season like some are saying. Lots of basketball to play.

    Cuz we’re 9-8? The Heatles starting 9-8 and they went to Finals. And they were healthy.

    Sprained his foot - Stotts said the x-ray was 'clear' but who knows.

    If you need some cheering up, the Lakers got blown out by Pistons.

    They have a much better coach and prioritize defense.

    They also played in the East. The East is better this year, but by the playoffs it was a mess.

    You're changing the argument literally every chance you get because you find out your argument has no legs.

    Crazy you're reduced to posting videos from 5+ years ago as a way of propping up your knight in shining armor. You really need to start a Terry Stotts fan club.

    Stop with that line of thinking.

    Its coincidence, not contagious. Peoples muscles and bones don't suddenly just become weaker when someone gets injured.

    Get out with nonsense.

    What argument did I change?

    I know you are unlikely to answer this question directly, but I figured I'd ask for fun!
