    You posted this dumbass tweet



    WE REPLACED Aminu and Harkless with Roco and Powell. That is literally the only significant roster change. Yet we got worse on defense while claiming our personnel is worse! WHO DO YOU BLAME FOR THAT.

    What does that have to do with the MULTIPLE all-stars you were talking about?

    We didn't have multiple all-stars and we didn't make the finals. Right in line with everything I've said. You're not going to make the finals (let alone win) with one all-star who is below average height.

    Making the WCF was an amazing over-achievement and even then people found a way to spin it as a negative.

    It is also more correctly called a 'near make'.

    It blows my mind when our announcers rave about how great one of our guys is playing because he's getting a lot of good looks, AND MISSING THEM. Can't make a shot, but he's playing great because he's taking (and missing) good shots.

    Can't make this shit up.

    Yessir. Guy sitting next to me. League is allowing it so regional broadcasts can make up lost money.

    Not a fan.

    And I doubt this is ever going to go away now.

    Soon NBA courts will look like Nascar.

    That's the logic Stotts gave us when he had Evan Turner chucking 3s and missing them.

    Interesting if it were true. Got a link to the actual instagram post to confirm it's not a doctored screenshot?

    Covington and Powell are worth four mid-late firsts. Why do people think Powell is a 2-month rental? That seems like you're trying to make the move worse than it is.

    We literally will have all our picks this upcoming off-season with Covington and Powell as well.

    What all-star was available last summer that you wanted to trade our picks for?

    What's funny is people begged Olshey to trade picks and they also begged for us to go get a guy like RoCo. Then he does it, RoCo is having a career 3pt shooting year, yet it's a bad move?! Crazy.

    So, it seems without a true PF, we're a 5-6 seed in the west, top one-third inthe league. I'd prefer we were higher, but I'm enjoying this team for what it is.

    It could be so much worse. I love this team. I hope Zach adds the balance so players don't have to continue to play out of position.
