    Video is funny: Trashes Westbrook games, then notes they could still win despite that if they Lakers play defense but then the Lakers traded away or gave up on 3 above average to really great NBA defenders in Kuzma/KCP/Caruso

    This team just does not have enough talent unless Russ is an MVp caliber player and he's definitely not that even on his good games

    I’m still astonished that an NBA player is named Duncan Robinson—gonna go name my kid Shaq Abdul Jabbar now.

    Seriously through, his parents must have been spurs fans. He has no choice but to play basketball with a name like that.

    Man I’m just really disappointed by our wing signings this offseason. Ariza (who I think can still round into form for 15 mins a game) and Bazemore. We literally had a starting spot open and bazemore had been garbage, what a waste when we could of had a Rudy gay or Otto Porter jr.

    Not too many complaints, but:

    Ariza should not start. He's a deep bench player.

    He didn’t and probably won’t any more. Benched the entire game. Why the “but: WMC” about it?

    Guess the unofficial memo tonight was “don’t worry about rebounding at all.”

    That's a good question. I wanted to put it in the Optimism thread, but since we haven't used it much this season, my mouse decided to click on this thread instead. My bad.

    This is with THT being on and off and Nunn being out all season too far.

    feel like we're trying to 2 for 1 baze/dj and some seconds for a low salaried player. we're probably waiting until we know for sure that any THT/nunn deals are dead, but stan's impending FA is probably speeding up that clock. i expect a move soon, probably minor.
