    Or doesn't say anything unless there's a complaint to be posted....there's that....Stotts wins a coach of the month several times and you can tell who's going to cheer for that and who's not. It's like saying you were a Beatles fan but only if they'd fire George Harrison and hire Eric Clapton.

    Good thing we have people here to define what a “real fan” is.

    I think we match up well at every position including coach. And we have home court advantage. The lone exception is they have the best bench player in Schroeder.

    So Bazemore is obviously going to start because Stotts. But it will also mean Little (and Trent) gets a bump in minutes, as he did when Hood was out earlier in the season. This sucks for Hood but it will allow development that otherwise wouldn’t have happened if he were healthy.

    Baze is actually rounding into a really good 3 and D player

    I cant get excited about the rest of the Season anymore, i just cant after all these injurys man. We could have one of the deepest teams in the league, this Hood injury was the dagger for me. Maybe we win this game, yeah i'm sure we win because we stil have a better team than okc, but we just cant beat good teams, it's so frustrating. I mean how the fuck is it even possible to have 3 starters out for that long of time??? I'm really down right now fams

    True that. We need far less blazer “fans” who actively root for our players and team to fail.

    Don’t forget: Nurk just tweeted exactly what I’m saying. CJ said the same thing too. If you think Dame or any other blazer does not have the same disdain of tank-flakes then you’re not living in reality. This is not an unpopular opinion. This used to be basic common sense: “fans” who root for a team to fail aren’t fans, they are in the same boat as fair weather fans and posers. It’s sad that tanking has somehow become accepted as a respectable opinion.

    General: sir, it looks like the British are winning the war...

    George Washington: I’ve got it. Let’s lose the war on purpose and allow the Brits to slaughter our civilians. We will have a chance of getting favorable surrender conditions and then maybe we can win a war against a different opponent 10 years from now...

    general: sir, you are not a real patriot.

    George Washington: wow I’m so glad we have people telling us what a real patriot is!
