    How does this thread even get made, or continue at 17-3 record?

    Because people can see a potential weakness on our team, and don't think we'll continue winning at an .850 clip, perhaps?

    The bench scares me. They blew most of a 20 point lead.

    i think part of it could be fixed with just altering the rotation, really. No need to have Mo, Robinson, Freeland and Wright all out there together, because you leave one guy on offense, essentially. Which is why we've seen a lot of Mo dribbling. I think Nic needs to be out there more with Mo, to be another ball handler.

    Well, technically, there is a comma, which separates "get made" from "continue at 17-3". So technically, that explains why this thread continues. Carry on.

    I don't see how we get anybody unless someone is released which probably won't happen unless we get lucky. CJ and Leonard are the only real trade bait, but have high future value that they can't be used for a dirty mid-season trade. And can't afford to trade any more draft picks. Looks like will finish the race with what we have.

    Yeah... I'd rather not playing Mo and Dame together. Have Dame stay in longer, maybe take Nic out earlier, and then play Mo with Nic while Dame rests. I'm just really not impressed with the Dame/Mo backcourt. I realize Stotts is trying to replicate what Dame had with Maynor last season, but I'm really not seeing it.
