    Will is more than a talent ,"You can find anywhere" . He has turned into a good defender and shot maker. He was Denver's 2nd best player against the Suns. But Morris and Rivers turned back into frogs after their meteortic shooting vs. The Blazers. And it wasn't the Suns defense either. They just bricked wide open, after wide open shots.

    You can find a will barton anywhere or he wouldn't be on the bench.

    The moral of the story is it was a good trade that an injury derailed. There is no counter argument to the fact. Thanks.

    Dwight lands the first softball question of the presser... no shock there.

    Got to stay on Olshey's payroll.

    I kinda want to see if Chauncey can turn Simons into more of a PG. He's been credited with improving Kawhi's, PG's, and Reggie Jackson's playmaking.

    I just came here to say that Twitter sucks. The active users aren't representative of the general population, and the actions of users aren't representative of actions in real life.

    It psychologically rewards tribalism and supports escalation without any hope of healthy resolution.

    It's seriously, seriously not a good thing for individuals or society.

    It's too easy to communicate a message, and there isn't the usual punishment for saying bad things. These combine allow people to turn off their filters, and their brains.

    The word on him coming into the league and his first couple of seasons was that he didn't distribute the ball well and was a scoring guard in a point guard's body... back when that was a thing people said.

    The worst part about twitter isn't the people who use it, it's the people who run it. It's not hard to notice the utter bias and hypocrisy in which rules are applied and discussion is steered and censorship is enacted. It's not a left/right divide either, it's a corporate oligarchy/populist divide and the vast majority can't even recognize it. Reddit is even worse for the same reasons.

    Yep and both Facebook and Youtube are following that lead. Corporate Oligarchs vs. everyone else.

    I think if you weeded out the bots it would be a lot better. There are some seriously funny people on Twitter, and they're just people (well, they start out that way but then get book deals/hired to writers' rooms).
