LOL Plumlee! What kind of a pass was that?

 

[julius]

Can Gatorade please burn the original tapes of this stupid ass commercial?!

 

[Jade Falcon]

Jesus. I am SO GLAD I'm not a drinker. I'd be so belligerent right now.

 

[Scalma]

If I'm stotts I'm putting that last mcriberts three on the big board. Davis literally made no effort to close out.

 

[KingSpeed]

Lol oh really? I have watched every game this season and stuck by through the blowouts, never turned the channel. Sorry I don't think that we will be a "powerhouse" when Aminu comes back. What team have we beat that's over 500.? get outta here with that

The answer to your question is Memphis but that's besides the point. Good teams beat bad teams. We're a good team. We'll win our share of games against playoff teams though. We blew out Cavs and Warriors last year. We are the same team that did that plus Turner.

 

[julius]

Damian is being out played by Dragic. Tho that seems to happen a lot.

 

[DUB]

This 3rd quarter started off a lot like the 1st quarter did.

This team still doesn't understand that you need to give effort all the time and that they're not good enough to coast.

I think they understand that, but they find it difficult to put into practice. I think they've started the second half with the same level of effort they finished the first with; but they needed to come out hard, and step on Miami's throat.

Dragic always seems to kill us, especially when he was in Phoenix.

Stepping on the opponents throats is something that great teams do. It's something this team has struggled to do for a LONG time.

WE AREN'T A GOOD TEAM. Memphis is the only one. That's not how we were last season. At all. We could beat good teams, blow out bad teams towards the end of the season. You just don't know basketball. That's all there is to this. You dismiss the glaring issues and always look for whatever sunshine and flowers there are which can be good and bad and in this case, bad.

Mase just teabagged McBob!!!

 

[Five Second Violation]

White on white crime!

BIG PLUMBS DUNKS WITH AUTHORITY!!!

Umm we have all the same main players as last year. And if you want to talk last year, we started last year 11-20. This year, we are 10-10. Thus, this year we are better, thanks.

I can't remember the last time we were ruthless like that. It's definitely something we need to learn. We might even need a veteran acquisition to teach us that.

 

[Five Second Violation]

Dragic took four steps I think.

 

[BigGameDamian]

We're missing shots we usually make.

Fluke?

But do you at least agree that the team will be noticeably improved when Aminu comes back? Would you be surprised if Aminu came back next game and we ended up going 14-6 in our next 20?

Bold = Currently over .500

Dame is very ruthless like that. Don't you remember him drilling three after three in Steph's face even though the game had already been decided when we blew them out last year? Or what about that game against Memphis this year when Dame just stuck 30 footer after 30 footer?

You are delusional straight up. Yeah we started 11-20, that doesn't make this okay. That was when the team started and was new to each other. You don't go from competing with GS to not even competing and finishing bad teams. Just not how it works. Guys got paid. Turner has been decent as of lately but not the signing we hoped for so far. Defense has been TERRIBLE. You would make an excuse up for this team to be good no matter what and that is the most delusional shit I have ever seen. Calling people fairweather fans just because they don't think we are a good team. I have watched every game, all the blow outs, fuck outta here. Last game I witnessed you calling somebody an asshole once again because they didn't agree with you and you didn't like what they were saying. You don't know basketball. At all.

 

[KingSpeed]

People who paid attention know we got off to huge leads with Aminu in the starting lineup but then we gave up the leafs because Turner sucked. Now that Turner has found his way, we will dominate with Aminu. It's basic math.

Yeah I do think we improve. I want this team to be great like anybody else who is a fan. When you go from last season to expectations of being good this year and we are 20 games in and still look bad, it gets concerning. Yeah we weren't winning the title this year no matter what but we need steps to that, improvements that lead to future seasons of being a contender and I see us regressing and as a logical fan it sucks when you gotta watch this mess so far.

You said you won't believe until we beat a good team. I already believe in our guys. They've already shown me how great we can be. You bitch and moan while we are WINNING. I don't. Peace, dude.

Hopefully the rest of the team can improve at being ruthless; putting teams down, and stopping them from even thinking about a comeback.

 

[Darkwebs]

Flashy Turner!

 

[KingSpeed]

Our bench is so good lately.

 

[DUB]

OH MY(ers)!!!

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

whining pays off; no fouls called on Heat in 3rd.

 

[PDXFonz]

Brooklyn GM such a douche.

Tyler Johnson 4 yr 50 mil

Crabbe 4 year 75 mil

If you can't beat em, troll em.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Get ready for some snow! Sounds like we will get some challenging weather next week.
