Bout to get our asses handed to us

 

[wizenheimer]

wut? Timelord-->Recon?

does that mean he's on a clandestine scouting mission to locate ISIS hideouts in Syria?

He’s been out long enough to train for that.

ESPN says he's a game time decision and is reconditioning.

No bro. We are about to see our center of the future(ClingKong) Dominate our center of old(Nurkic) while our center of present(PoutinAyton) sits while we find him a new city he can move his air matress to.

 

[SharpeScooterShooter]

For some reason, I think we win this game. Phoenix looks past us. We are hungry for a win and it seems these games we are supposed to get destroyed in, we seem to do well, while we get destroyed in games we are supposed to be competitive.

Mark me down for a win on this one, as absurd as that sounds.

 

[THE HCP]

Clingan starting

 

[SharpeScooterShooter]

Clingan starting

YES!!!!

The future is gonna destroy the past!!!!!

Can't deny, "PoutinAyton" made me chuckle.

 

[Foxx]

Damn was hoping Don would destroy nurkic. Mason is too likeable

 

[MickZagger]

Let’s just shoot 3’s

 

[HailBlazers]

Clingan needs a hook shot

 

[Blazinaway]

Man, Sharpe's shooting from 3 has really been bad so far this year

 

[MickZagger]

They just pulled Simon’s out because he got traded

 

[Blazinaway]

Man, Sharpe's shooting from 3 has really been bad so far this year

LOL I'll keep sayin that since he finally made one

 

[Blazinaway]

They just pulled Simon’s out because he got traded

how cool would that be! Now if he doesn't come back in I might just be a believer

 

[MickZagger]

lol so many 3 point bricks

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Tyus Jones looking like an all star against Anf and Scoot.

 

[Blazinaway]

how cool would that be! Now if he doesn't come back in I might just be a believer

ah crap, he's back in

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Ighodaro looks like a useful player. If only we'd had a shit ton of second round picks this past draft we could have drafted him.

 

[MickZagger]

Our management is trash

 

[Blazinaway]

Looks like another rough night, da tank rolls on

 

[MickZagger]

I feel like Durant tickles the twine more than any other NBA player.

 

[Blazinaway]

Really like the way they are passing to DC in deep tonight

 

[MickZagger]

Well the Pelicans and Wizards didn’t do us any favors in our hunt for the lotto combos..

This loss might end up being worthless.

 

[TheGoldRanger]

Clingan and Timelord at the 5 has to be my favorite center combo ever.

 

[Blazinaway]

What bothers me is how few minutes Deni gets, last 4 games averaging 25 min

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I feel like Scoot has lost his mojo. Looks tentative and a little bit listless.

 

[Blazinaway]

I feel like Scoot has lost his mojo. Looks tentative and a little bit listless.

Maybe a realization he won't be a star in this league? but can he pivot and develop into a solid PG?
