    Right Now...Waste of money. I want @BonesJones to get his contract so we can see some results.

    Baldwin doesn’t annoy me as much as Swanigan. The fact that he’s on the books for next year is infuriating. That man does not belong in the NBA and that jackass guaranteed his contract anyway.

    Giving how insanely hot and cold I've been shooting lately, I might look like a decent shooter.

    Hindsight is whatever, that’s not my problem. My problem is Olshey has too much pride to admit he fucked up and will double down on his mistakes. Swanigan is AWFUL, I’m not even joking when I say I’d rather have Cliff Alexander.

    If you make layups, you'll be accepted by your team mates.. When I could jump, about 20 years ago, I lived on that theory and defense to pull me out of a slump. Of course, if you pick up Lebron' s technique you could make shots while falling backwards.

    We should trade out Swanigan and Baldwin for one decent 6ppg player that plays defense. Perhaps, an unknown Bosnian.

    I'd rather have Jason Alexander than Swanigan.

    Most of my layups are in traffic and crafty. Normally I finish a high percentage, but not lately.

    I can see the post game comments now:

    Stotts: I knew if I just kept doing the same thing over and over it would work eventually.

    Lillard: See I told you we just weren't fresh for awhile.

    Turner: We've been solid all season so this isn't surprising.

    McGrady, Carter, and DeRozen jerseys here. No one is wearing Lowry or Leonard that I can see.

    Blazers by 15. Lowry is Toronto’s true MVP.

    In the past Toronto @ Portland has been the only game where I have felt the refs were actively favouring us, instead of being neutral, or against us.

    Now with Leonard playing for Toronto, I'm sure that'll change.

    I think I would have sat Mo, started Collins, and moved Aminu to the 3 to guard Leonard.
