    I have nothing against the Warriors. I've actually been rooting for them.

    That is hilarious, but it's kinda sad that he doesn't take responsibility for the teams losses this season. I'd say at least 75% of it is on him and his horrible volume shooting.

    I'm hoping we hand the Warriors their first loss

    We seem to play them really well. I think there's a very good chance that it happens.

    I love how he says he could be scoring 35 and they wouldn't win. He's right, because he would have to take like 30 shots a night to get that. I've been saying it for a while, if Randle had Kobes usage that team would win a lot more gams.

    Where I'm at, almost all Hornets games are televised. They've surprised me thus far and I think they're one of the league's best young teams. 4 straight wins and some damn good comebacks in that span. I actually think Batum was a good "right now" move for them, but I won't look any further than the most recent game with Nico as we all know his ceiling. It could go any which way for them with their roster.

    Philly had that game.

    I'm 100% convinced that they're doing this on purpose.

    The NBA needs to revoke draft picks for teams that are blatantly trying to lose.

    I'm not buying it. They're far and away the worst team as is. I supposed the players and coaches don't want the honor of the team with the shittiest losing streak of all time. Not good on the resume.

    They could do a number of things to help the NBA product. I think the easiest is change the lotto odds so their isn't a big difference in odds between the worst team and 7th worst team.

    I didn't realize Jahlil Okafor was already a superstar. When will Dame rise to his level?

    They haven't won a game but Jahlil is 1-0 in the streets.

    Get wrecked.

    But seriously, Jahlil is going to lose so much money over this.

    Kinda crazy that PG-13 is playing this much better after that injury, I'm really happy to see him play at this level. I think he is a legitimate cantidate to win the MVP this season. He will help his team secure home court in the playoffs where they will stand as good a chance as anyone of keeping the king out of the finals.

    This Pacers team has looked like the best one they've had in years so far this season.
