I know it's because I have no soul and my heart is black that I don't get it, but why the hell is it always "we're awesome, we're a contender" or "we suck, I fucking give up" around here? Why can't it just be "They may not be good, but hey they play hard and that's good enough for me?"

Because after you get your ass kicked at home by the Cavs it's time for a little "we suck, I fucking give up"....

Well whatever gets you through the night I suppose.

I'm sure teams have started to figure Lillard out a little bit, but honestly you have to wonder if the rookie wall is coming early for him? He's played massive minutes and more games in a way shorter amount of time than he ever played at Weber State.

Well if he's not hitting the wall yet, he should be. The entire starting five should be. And we're not even to the all-star break. The bench is absolutely worthless, I'm not sure I've ever seen anything like it. Usually there's at least one guy on the bench who belongs in the NBA, but with Meyers out I don't think we have one.

Our GM has set them up to fail this year, but our coach doesn't want to accept that fact so he plays the starters way too much. I see where they're both coming from, but something has to give. Either get them help now, or communicate to the coach that playing them this much is at some point (looks like right about now) counter-productive. It will lead to injury, or if we're very lucky, just poor decision making, poor shooting, and shitty defense. In other words, losses, so what's the point?

This really shouldn't surprise anyone. The surprise is still that they've done as good as they have to this point. I thought they'd win 20 games all year.

All this talk about how much our rookie is sucking lately....... how 'bout Waiters and his amazing game?

 

[BBert]

when nards gets back, play nolan/barton/claver/freeland/nards 15 minutes a game come hell or high water

Yes. This season is about next season. Throw the kids into the deep end of the pool. There is no long term benefit whatsoever to play Pav, Jeffries, or Price.

Gee......I'm glad I DVR'd that game and watched it in the middle of the night.

Fucknuts.
