Same here. I try not to let one or two losses sway me but you can't loose 4 games in a row to subpar teams and remain competitive. The west is too good and too deep. I'm not going to tune in for every game to see us play like garbage night in and night out, I've got more important things i...

Does any body remember all the crap the league and the media gave Mark Cuban a couple years ago for admitting early on in the season that they were tanking for a high lottery pick. That landed them Luka in the draft and an injured Porzingas via a lopsided trade. Now the two of them together look...

In a lot of ways i think you are right. Last years bench was the deepest bench we've had in recent memory. This year it's hard to say what we have. There isn't the same level of proven talent. This team played its best basketball when Nurk was healthy. Dame running pick and rolls with Nurk...

I was saying they both play hero ball. Which they both without a doubt do. Dame is just better at it and is more of a willing passer than CJ is. The PER numbers you've quoted speak to that.

I think your list is a fair assessment of how things have gone so far. With poor defense being the number one most obvious problem. Hero ball being second. Who on this roster is known as a defensive stopper besides kent Bazemore? Collins has looked solid in stretches if he can remain out of foul...

Pau 100% right. The game has changed dramatically over the past 10-15 years and not nessessary for the better. I think Mike D'Antoni's 7 second offense is when small ball really took off. A few years later Curry and Thompson's shot making ability mixed with Draymonds defense perfected it and now...

As talented as Griffin is I have to agree with you. I'd much rather develop our own home grown talent than take on an often injured allstar with no loyalty to our city.

I agree that the ending wasn't as bad as people are making it out to be. A bit of a let down sure but what else were people expecting? A Shakespearean ending? The problem is that the expectations were so insanely high that nothing would have been satisfying to everybody. Martin has written some...

Agreed, Jon is a dead man walking. Figuritively and literally.

I could see that happening. That could be concitered a good ending for places like Dorn or the Iron islands that don't get much reward for their allegiance to the throne.

Who knows!! Maybe they decide that all this king and queen stuff is very barbaric and lame so instead they elect their next ruler by popular vote! Wouldn't that be nice! It being GRRM'S lifes work i can just assume that all of the "good guys" die and the person who sits on the throne is a...

As soon as Danny went bonkers and started destroying the capitol city i started thinking about what happens next. Whats the next move of any tyrant? To dispach anybody who has a claim to the throne and could become a threat to your rule. Sinse there is only one episode left in the whole series...

I stopped following the nba for a couple years out of disgust after that playoff series and subsequent Lakers championship. With shenanigans in the past small market teams have every reason to be paranoid about the refs or the league putting their thumb on the scale.

There were times when we struggled over the past couple years that i was on the trade CJ bandwagon. I realise now that those impulses were short sighted and flat out wrong. It would have been impossible to get equal value in return for him then or now. I'm glad that the people making these...

I have to agree with the talking heads that the warriors would be heavily favored in any scenario. They have the superior talent. They have the experience. They will always get the benifit of the 50/50 calls from the refs. The deck is just stacked against whoever they will be playing. But with...
