    brown is quietly nearly as good as tatum and probably has more room to grow.

    and again, most folks' problem with tatum wasn't that we thought he sucked, it was that we didn't think he was ten times as good as ingram. we were right.

    And that picture pretty much encapsulates what happened to Kuzma.

    This is when it sucks being a moderator. There so many jokes I have locked and loaded for this picture. I'll just say them outloud to myself, laugh, and pretend I wrote them on the board.

    Can you imagine our nemesis C Bags in that 2008 championship series we got punched in the mouth .... waiting for Kuz to come to town with that on their bulletin board?

    “SCOREBOARD” Jenner / Kardashian scene he got sucked into.

    Well, maybe he was influenced by Kobe's white hot photo shoot so he's channeling towards himself errr... I mean channeling his inner mamba, on the West Hollywood side of the game.

    game, blouses... you don't wanna be posted up in front of a cat like that... settin fruity picks...

    i couldn't help myself from resurrecting some of the lines from that chapelle show skit... anyway, i really hope he is putting as much emphasis and time on his game/strength training as he is with his wardrobe and appearance... if he wants to be a long-term member of this team, his on-court performance needs to be commensurate with his PR portfolio.

    We’re not just signing any free agent. Only the right one.

    They desperately needed another body to throw at big 3s, small 4's (ala tweeners such as Tobias Harris) and this essentially fixes the problem

    Morris doesn't look like a great defender based on the metrics but this will help avoid the nightmare Cleveland/Orlando disaster where Cleveland just didn't have enough size at the wing spots to throw at all the tweeners with length that Orlando had. He'll be physical and stretch the floor. This teams frontcourt is going to be ridiculous

    Solid wire to wire win tonight, coupled with losses for Denver and the Jazz. Gives us more breathing room as the Nuggs are now 5 games back, Clips 5.5 and Utah 6.5. That is noice!

    I know the c-bags didn’t have Kemba but this still one of the best wins of the season.

    Having Markieff next time may help in other areas to offset Walker helping when back. They lost Kyrie and lost not much of anything, if anything.
