    People who paid attention know we got off to huge leads with Aminu in the starting lineup but then we gave up the leafs because Turner sucked. Now that Turner has found his way, we will dominate with Aminu. It's basic math.

    Yeah I do think we improve. I want this team to be great like anybody else who is a fan. When you go from last season to expectations of being good this year and we are 20 games in and still look bad, it gets concerning. Yeah we weren't winning the title this year no matter what but we need steps to that, improvements that lead to future seasons of being a contender and I see us regressing and as a logical fan it sucks when you gotta watch this mess so far.

    You said you won't believe until we beat a good team. I already believe in our guys. They've already shown me how great we can be. You bitch and moan while we are WINNING. I don't. Peace, dude.

    Hopefully the rest of the team can improve at being ruthless; putting teams down, and stopping them from even thinking about a comeback.

    Cippy- if it makes you feel better, we got off to big leads against GS and LAC early in the season, but Turner pissed the, away and we got blown out. Trust me. When Aminu is back, we will be better. That starting five has the best +/- in the league. No joke.

    Been a long time since we held a team under 100. We have a chance tonight.

    I would be very surprised, in fact I suspect they stand a better chance at going 6 and 14 over the next 20.

    Turner is a +13. McRoberts is a +21. Crazy.
