Ownership. We talked long and hard before renewing ours

[THE HCP]

For some reason I am not interested at all this year. I'm tired of talk and want to see results

For some reason? I think the names on the roster is the reason FAMS.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

After all these interviews this morning.....there is NO way we don't win 55+ games this season.

That's too low!

Father in law….. what!?!? I thought you were old!!

He is, but his wife ain't.

I'm more excited for this season than last season for sure--really excited to watch Shaedon play. That's my favorite thing about sports is watching the rooks/young guys get better each and every day.

 

[HailBlazers]

Honestly does RipCity not think we will be as good as most in here do? Why no support for our team?

Last time it was this low we hadn't made the playoffs. Coincidence? I think not.

 

[Hoopguru]

Interesting tidbit from the Dewayne Hankins interview is that season ticket renewals are the lowest since 2012.

supply chain issue!

That's what i'm trying to say also. Just want to see them play, not talk.

 

[SIeepwalker]

Ant looks jacked.

Sharpe is such a bad interview it's hilarious

 

[Hoopguru]

Shaedon seems to have that silent confidence and attitude that he belongs at this level. He has two goals and if Chauncey thinks he deserves a shot, he will get minutes.
I think his defensive ability will surprise.

 

[B-Roy]

Shaedon Sharpe reminds me of Kawhi Leonard in his interviews. Hopefully he's as good on the court lmao.

 

[Strenuus]

I for one am very excited for this year. Moreso than most years past. Dame is fully healthy, ant gets that 2 spot and m very intruiged by Grant. Hart I think is gonna be the... Damnit, fine, I'll say it, the heart of the team.

Sharpe I'm gonna hold all reservations on but my thinking is he will be garbage time playing most of the season. I think people are going to overstate his positives and rail him on the negatives no matter how much playing time he gets and honestly... If people do that they need to check themselves lol. Dude hasn't played a game out of high school, be fucking patient.

But I think this year may be special. Mainly cause dame is gonna be healthy and the leagues' fans are dumb enough to sleep on a top 75 all time player who got healthy. Dame gonna make noise!

Yes

for me, it’s not the names on the roster as much as it is the names NOT on our roster.

 

[THE HCP]

Last time it was this low we hadn't made the playoffs. Coincidence? I think not.

But isn't this why we fired Stotts?

 

[THE HCP]

for me, it’s not the names on the roster as much as it is the names NOT on our roster.

Great post kid.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Great post kid.

well, that’s awkward.

You too?

Mods, please move this to the "Please say rock bottom is getting close" thread in OT.

There aren’t pictures and links to most interviews in the thread for people to respond to.

Haha. I was just giving John shit for whining.

 

[andalusian]

Maybe dame is shrinking

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Shrinking like a fish?

 

[andalusian]

Shrinking like a fish?

...or a therapist

 

[Propagandist]

Yeah, this year seems fresh. I like it.

 

[DDolla]

Shaedon is a Fun Guy 2.0 like Kawhi Leonard.

 

[BankTeller]

Was just about to post this same video. Definitely looks like it.

I’m looking forward to seeing him next to James Harden, cause the height difference between Dame and Ant in that clip look like it could be the same difference between Harden and Dame in this pic.

I was really impressed with Ant’s progression on his handles last season. To me, I get Harden vibes when I see Ant goes 1 on 1. He’s obviously hasn’t matched Harden’s ability to take it to the basket thus far, but he’ll continue to get better at that. If he really is 6’5 in shoes and he keeps getting stronger and confident going to the basket…watch out. In no way am I saying Ant will ever be close to James Harden as a player or playmaker, but Harden’s scoring package could ultimately be what Ant’s is at his peak.

Maybe that sounds like a stretch to some. But a Dame/Harden pairing at any point in their careers together is a scary backcourt. 4 years of Dame and Ant with Sharpe up next is a great future in the backcourt.

 

[Eastoff]

Damian is 6'0" without shoes. Ant looks 6'3" without shoes.
