    Williams- hammy
    SGA - hand
    Wemby - concussion
    ANT - knee
    Rockets - no point guard and a s***ty coach

    While we didn't know the team was going to have the March they did, this is why I hate not taking bigger swings at the deadline when you have a prime Luka on the roster.

    You NEVER know how an injury (injuries) can change everything.

    Flip side is we have our own injuries too, so maybe even if those above break favorably it still might not matter.

    We were told "fragile a**" was an Austin Reaves thing, and a big reason why he needs to be traded for "better fit" and implicitly for someone(s) we know doesn't/don't get injured playing balls out 100% every game. L.O.L. We'll see which "talent" on this team Walter wants to keep and build with the next few years. I was being good about not taking shots but then it all comes back in and first thing out of the mouth ..... errr .... fingers is AR bashing.

    So true,

    Caruso fouls on every play, seriously (he might be worse than Dort). I miss the guy but watch him closely. He should be out of the game at around half of the first quarter.

    Of course, we could also point out that we gave them Zubac for nothing years back and that they have never reciprocated. Start a public campaign of dishonor towards them!?!?!?

    OKC ruined him. They poison everything they touch. We could rehabilitate him though. I'd take him back in a heartbeat.


    Good tweet except for one thing: OKC is definitely undeserving of its success.

    How much load managing required for "it" .... repairs, maintenance, etc? Wouldn't fly though the players' association probably would immediately start bit****g about it. :D

    That's a good hire. He got a raw deal in Memphis. He's a lot better than Doc, although that's a low bar

    Why sign a HC when you don't even know what you're getting in return for Giannis?

    I mean, Jenkins is an average coach so even if they lose him to other teams, not really a huge deal.

    defensive superstar calls are real. artest used to get them, and kawhi gets to just grab arms all over the place. smart gets some of this, too, though he also gets called for boxing out since he joined the lakers...
