    4-game home stand starts here. It's a good opportunity to rack up some wins and get back into playoff positioning. Let's get it!

    This might have been a loss anyway, but this sets up to be a "schedule loss" if I've ever seen one.

    Hope you're right my friend! Back-to-back against a younger, quicker team, when you're not playing with a full roster; games like that scare me!

    How is this a schedule loss? 3 days of rest before the Clippers game, we didnt play anyone over 30 minutes, and we come home to play a banged up Kings team.

    The team starting this group is younger?
    Cory Joseph, 28
    Buddy Hield, 26
    Harrison Barnes, 27
    Nemanja Bjelica, 31
    Dwayne Dedmon, 30

    Well, they are objectively slightly younger than a team starting:
    Damian Lillard, 29
    CJ McCollum, 28
    Rodney Hood, 27
    Carmelo Anthony, 35
    Hassan Whiteside, 30

    And even moreso if you accurately list Richaun Holmes, 26, as their starting center instead of Dedmon.

    But yes, you're correct that since their three youngest players (Bagley/Fox/Giles) are all not playing right now, they're not really all that young of a team.

    Damn I really want to see Anfernee Simons do something. This guy has been completely useless for weeks now. At this point he’s getting that that full Vonleh treatment these days with the "Sure, his numbers are bad, but did you see that one nice finish? You can just imagine what he’ll be like in two years considering he’s only 19. One of my few untouchables alongside Dame/CJ."

    His TS% is now lower than CJs when CJ obviously has waaay higher of a usage rate and as everybody knows CJ barley even goes to the line. I don’t know about this kid anymore I would def trade him if a team asks for him and the trade is more of a win now

    1.) If you cant realize how and why Simons and McCollum are held to different standards, I do t know what to tell you.
    2.) Simons plays more within the flow of the offense, which is one of the biggest critiques of CJ.
    3.) Simons seems to give more effort defensively.

    Stop listing Trent probable and then not activating him it’s like getting blue balls for me ok?

    Who says imagine what he'll be like in two years (edit) ? He could shoot better starting with tonight's game.
