    well, we didn't trade Bron and AD, but the other moves were tolerable.

    So whatever's going on with Bron and AD this is the new solution ... they're going to alternate playing days now? Perfect!

    And no Bryant even. Wow Giannis may just break AD and Wenyan tonight and that's that.

    He may as well have against OKC.

    Giannis could get 60, but I don't think he'll need to play that much.

    he doesn't play: mr. glass.

    he does play: made fun of for times he didn't play.

    classy, reggie. you could tell his announcing partner wasn't amused, either.

    lebron got to duck giannis and company for his sore foot, though, letting AD get "castrated". but he's the tough guy.

    Well, we lost, but we didn't get demolished as I predicted. It was close.

    Yesterday was a “good loss” - totally overmatched personnel wise with Lebron and nearly half the team out due to trades. But we just can’t afford very many more of these. Going to be a tall order just to make the playin at this point. With the OKC and NO losses I think it’s realistically too late to expect anything more than that now. It’ll probably take 16 wins in 26 games just to get there. I don’t think the 6th spot is really in reach any more.

    No, basically the mini season starts tomorrow and we have no room for mistakes. We're not getting to #6, there's just no way. Play-in is possible but... maximum focus from now on. We actually have a deadly team now, but unfortunately no more time.

    I think it takes them 20 games to learn to play together. It is going to be about next year. This is pre season.

    i think the last 25 games are an audition for all the new guys. who fits, who doesn't, who works, etc. i actually don't even think we have a great shot at the play-in at this point, so it's all about seeing if we can develop a winning team with what's here.

    Agreed. We will have to play extremely well to get to the play in. Team has really gotta rally if they want to get this done.

    Yep! I think some of these guys will be traded when they don't live up to their potential. But we are clearly better and we need to understand what that is going to mean for us.

    And it's not just the players. Ham has to adjust and we've seen how slowly he does so. That actually concerns me even more than the players. You have to factor in time with this coaching staff tinkering with the lineups in inane ways.
