    Solid.... and dysfunctional.... lineup.

    They still don't have a go-to-guy though. Paul is an amazing player, but he's not a go-to-guy. Blake Griffin is a more athletic version of LMA.

    I'm just talking about pure unadulterated basketball talent. Just trying to tone down some of these unrealistic goals some have for our squad. Some saying we are a playoff team is just wacked.

    I agree... we're not a playoff caliber team.... we're a championship caliber team!

    Why do you care so much about bringing down people's hopes and expectations about the team?

    dviss I look at Montero like a young Nic. Raw and athletic. I'm actually excited to see him out there mistakes in all. Besides Dame, I am looking forward to watching him the most. Hope he makes the cut.

    I think he will. He's a low risk / high reward guy. Give him some time in practice and maybe in the NBDL. See how he does. Let him develop.

    Because this place will blow up at how bad we are this season. I guess I don't want to bring them down, but just open some eyes to be a bit more realistic.

    He had a few plays in summer league that blew me away! He had 3 TOs between said plays, but I like 'em. Like I said reminds me of Batum and little of Antiatumbakumboalopisos from Milwaukee

    Man, listening to Connaughton speak, he sounds like he should be @EL PRESIDENTE's favorite player. Complete "Bro".

    There weren't that many on the table. I mean there was 5,000 basketballs, but I only saw about 50 of those decks. Not sure what they are for, but they are fly.

    Pierce as a go to guy? Ballmer's got a lot of coin, but I don't think even he can get his hands on a flux capacitor.
