    because it's a stat someone made up that happens to capture a lot of high-performing big names?

    SGA has definitely been great--and surprised me in doing so once again. i've been a doubter and am chastened.

    i also have already apologized to trodgers re: sabonis, but he keeps leveling up, too.

    They do and I’m so tired of hearing otherwise.

    I don't see much if at all OKC but remember a stat that SGA not only does these type of numbers but also creates a ton to his teammates. Just happens they are almost all scrubs so they miss a lot. And they are still winning games (at a similar rate as ourselves). It seems he's really really good. But I don't see the point of OKC trading him so haven't considered him in my list.

    My sight so far is on Luka or Booker the next 2/3 years. A lot will change until then of course

    Let's be real.

    We're a disaster.

    zero chance OKC trades SGA. he's their future and he's proving that he's capable of it with his play this season

    clippers probably would've been better off keeping him instead of trading him for PG

    I agree. But he may get tired of waiting, they have really only Giddey as a good future piece. Let's see about Chet but it's a team that still looks far from being anywhere relevant

    Are we ignoring the fact that kcp/kuzma had some sort of beef w Bron eventually .... D12 dwindled down and out he was huge off the bench for us .15-20mins and rondo is retired basicly .... Avery Bradley out the league... Danny green enough said.... Jared Dudley retired .......


    Kief/Caruso/mcgee we're the main ones we missing

    horrible defensive effort, horrible lineups, lost to another terrible team.

    Ham must be high, needing stops and playing Lebron at C + AR + 3 PGs.

    seems this team is on its way to quit on us just like last year.

    I would take the Lakers winning any game with Reaves leading a 4 on 2 fastbreak to take the lead with less than 20 seconds to go.
    Of course, the Lakers botch it - story of the season

    That’s a wrap on the season, I’d love to have some of those Hornets players filling out our much needed depth, but oh well. I guess we wait to trade for LaVine or sign Draymond Green with our cap space and pay LeBron, AD, Green and 9 minimums again next season, hooray. Jeanie, Rob, Kurt, Linda, Phil, Jay Mohr, and whoever else have turned us into a joke of a franchise.

    Yep. Dismal AF loss. I don't see us getting to .500 this year. Not anymore. Hope I'm wrong. Lakers putting out "AD may be back in January" now? Very late January and it's almost like, why bother? at this point.

    I remember fooling myself after the first 10 games that hey: at least our Defense is Top 5. (It WAS!: WTF happened? Our D coughs up 134 at home to CHA after we lost 2 games?)

    Easy to say, "Yea, but if Schroder hits that 3 very late, we win." We could say that a lot. We lost. Our 3r straight. At home. To a team with a worse record than ours.

    not capitalizing on that fast break at the end that could've given them the lead was the nail in the coffin

    the west is wide open this season and this team is so bad they're not even going to sniff the play-in tournament

    that botched 3 on 1. my god.

    we played horrific defense throughout and deserved to lose, though. i get that AD's out, but have some pride. 134 points to the hornets.
