    You're welcome to do whatever you want but it seems like you're good with mediocrity. If you're happy with getting blown out in the first half in most games then cheers to you.

    The wins/losses tells one story. Getting blown out and our porous defense tells another.

    Sad story out of Las Vegas. Mostly sad for the victim, RIP, but also a promising kid throwing his life away is sad too

    I read this as Zach Collins. He’s also from Las Vegas...

    Agreed . Fuck em all. And that includes every driver who drives recklessly whether it is due to alcohol, drugs, driving too fast or being distracted by your cell phone, or eating food. They all do it intentionally.

    CP3 is the best leader in the NBA. Now look what’s he’s doing with the Suns.

    Wall and Harden combined for 55 Pts and 17 Assist. Just imagine Dame and Harden

    Hassan Whiteside played 3 minutes tonight versus the Rockets. From $20M contract to waived in one year?

    pretty crazy considering the stats he put up with us. I kind of feel bad for him, but he’s gotten so much money. He made his bed now he has to sleep in it

    Whiteside is a dinosaur; he can't help that.

    Or I could rewatch the Blazer- Houston game when Dame and CJ combined for 76 pts and 17 assists.

    Neil should call Minnesota and ask about Ricky Rubio. He isn’t happy and we sorely need a backup PG

    44 Million between him and Bazemore last year.

    The players that filled those salary spots for us in the last two years:

    Bazemore - terrible with us, minimum contract now out of the rotation for Mychal Mulder (who?) in Golden State.
    Whiteside - minimum contract backup already losing rotation spot in game 5 of the regular season.
    Meyers - Lost rotation spot in bubble, came into this season without a guaranteed rotation spot.
    Harkless - minimum contract who lost his rotation spot in Miami after 3 games.
    Turner - so bad he's now an assistant coach instead of a player.

    2016 killed Dame's prime.
