    Luke is a freaking genius.

    It's only one game into the season, and he has already exposed to management that no matter how good of shape Julius Randall gets in, he is mentally weak.

    He successfully threw out a couple of lineups to verify they did not work, and he was right.

    He got to see the body language of the players react when they got down, and the ones that were still bringing it in the very end.

    FREAKING. GENIUS.

    COY is pretty much buttoned up already.

    We play the Suns :)
    Our only wins this season are them, Knicks, Bulls and maybe Nets. Woohhooo.

    It's going to be ugly, but I still think we can break 30 wins this year. I think that's optimism?

    Counting yesterday as a warm up.. We couldnt shoot a f***ing beach ball with a BB gun.

    Lopez got his 20 average.. If others start making some shots its a different game especially with some of the experimenting going on.

    This game had me pissed, but while we still lost, they turned my mood around by fighting back and getting me into it, fist pumping and such. Great game by JC, some amazing defense on Cousins by Randle, and a lineup that played very well with Kuzma, Hart and Ingram in it that made the comeback.

    We only gave up 51 points in the 2nd half.

    It's actually our best effort in any half so far this year.

    We're only half a game out of the 8th seed. Plenty of time to grab a spot.

    That 4th photo ..... typical hands down defense from Randle. What is he doing, always only trying to steal or knock loose the ball down low and not worry about anything getting by him above his waist?

    Optimism: we play at a super fast pace, which will inflate the score for both teams, so holding a team to a 51 point half is like a slower team holding an opponent to 35 for the half lol
