    Love this podcast. There is a podcast thread here too for future reference if you’re not sure where to put one.

    I’ll be looking to see if fatigue is an issue since it’s the end of the road trip. They don’t look winded or tired so far.

    we need a really good humiliating and humbling loss every 10 games or so

    that we the team stays focused and keeps working on weaknesses, but the ceiling looks pretty high if they all come together and can play to their potential

    Talk at this time last year was about Luke being admonished. Uh, dude probably needed admonishing sooner than that and this is coming from a one time Luke apologist.

    Speaking of coaching, has the FO really been quiet tho? Remember that gawd awful coaching search this past summer? Seems like we knew a little too much of what was going on behind closed doors. And that was after the FO realignment where everybody os supposedly besties.

    Actually check that, Ryan West left after that. Maybe he was the LA Leaker.

    Imagine how well we'll be playing if/when another one of our players steps up, be it Kuz, Bradley, et, and/or if we pick up Iggy. Right now, we're still about four players deep (LeBron, AD, Green and Coward), with everyone else playing fairly mediocre ball. Still lots of room to improve, and as long as our defense holds up, plenty of time to get it together. Love this team.

    What a comeback in the 4th quarter! I really enjoyed that Cook, Caruso, Kuz, LBJ, Dwight lineup in the early 4th.

    The bench showed that they can feast when both AD and LBJ are on the bench.

    And I don't think AD is coming home!

    I was about ready to just turn the game off but glad I got to see that comeback. Our bench really stepped up.

    I guess we're a second half team? That's better than a first half team.
