I don't really believe in "Fools Gold". In the NBA you have to win the games you are supposed to win and compete in the rest. If they get a 6 games win streak it is exactly that. With or without Curry who looked at the schedule at the beginning of the year and thought of these next 6 they might win all of them? Hoenets, Warriors, Pistons, T-wolves, Pacers, Raptors. 4 games on the road and 2 at home. The two games at home are both a "One Home and One Away" schedule.
Seriously ridiculous to think this team would win all 6 of those and call it "Fools Gold".

Exactly. Must beat bad teams. We’ve beaten good teams- Phoenix (twice), Denver, Pelicans, Kings, Knicks, Jazz. Now it’s time to build a record towards getting a top 3 seed.
 
seriously... wtf man. we so badly need a defensive boost. suit up for 10 mins and see how sore it is.

That’s what I’m saying. How the fuck can’t you just give it 10-15 min? Your supposedly conditioning anyways..

This dude got his money and became soft as fuck

Have to admit it’s getting long? Like three different sites claiming “Sources” were saying the 26th was the return. Obviously we know which ones don’t really know anything.

If there's 3 seperate sources reporting it then that shows you the intel was probably good, and that the team changed their mind. Or don't believe it. It's not my info, I don't have an inside source.
 
He may not be playing because maybe some team has an interest in him and we don't want to lose trade value...or he's going to replace somebody else that's beign showcased now who may be on the move. We'll see.

He's losing trade value by not playing.

Dame, Ant, Grant and Nurk as your core? I expected at least Top 6 and out of the Play-In. Given the lack of dominant teams in the West, I think they should be maybe even better than that.

Agreed
 
Payton for DiVincenzo? He could be good fit next to Dame? And then we trade Simons for AD?

So trade for another injury prone player? That's smart...

I don't understand this response? Who said anything about you? Are you a journalist? Press pass type guy? The three sources i am talking about actually have access. Casey Holdahl, Danny Marang, Aaron Fentress. All three sources have said tentatively that they thought it could happen Dec 26th.
They all claim "sources" or at least claim to be "In the know". I agree the team probably changed it on them.
That is why i said " Have to admit it's getting long..."
 
Just looked up tickets for tonight. Why are they so expensive for the Charlotte Hornets? I understand prices go up for certain players but i just don't see it for the Hornets?

Yooo i was checking the same. My travel plans got thrown out the door this wk cuz of the storm so I'm actually in town during a game night.

Wanted to hit the game but cheapest tix i can find are like 120-150 for three people and theyre way up in the 300 level. Screw that.


Think it's cuz its the holidays and everyone wants to go

I got decent tickets in the 300s today for like 110 each. Pretty expensive especially for a Charlotte game, but it’s the only game I could catch while still in town…

That might be it? Crazy prices for a game like that.
 
Blazers put together some nice packages by players around the league and former teammates of Dame congratulating him.

Interesting to note all the starters from the 13-15 era (RoLo, LMA, Batum) congratulated Dame, but Wes did not, even though Wes is still playing.

Honestly they probably justified the raise in cost because it's the first home game of Dame after becoming the leading scorer of the team.

If true, it's fucking stupid. But that's my only theory.
 
So basically one home game after 6 games on the road then back at the Warriors on Friday. Technically that’s 8 game road trip. Let’s go further…. Back at home after Friday then 3 more on the road…. smh 12 game road trip

I think Wes and Dame didn’t get along from information I got back in the days. Crazy to think now because everybody seems to love Dame
 
People should relax about when GP11 comes back, he will be back as soon as he's ready. The man is a competitor, so for those that think he is skating, you are wrong! I mean look at Dame's core injury and how long it affected him? Relax, he will take the floor and be healthy...
