    Ladies 'n Germs: we have reached .500 in our win over OKC. Are we on Candid Camera?

    Only two players on this squad have seen 50%? The MVP and Bron? Oh my.

    You can tell this group likes playing with one another. Good chemistry already. Give them a camp and build on this, please.

    I wonder why they didn't do this before the deadline. Did they not want to have fun? Or did they not want to be seen in public with someone dressing like this

    I wonder how a game against an equally mediocre team got you to realize that.

    If we win all of our games that we're supposed to win...we still got a shot at 4th bcuz we got clips/suns left to play still.

    We really control our own destiny at this point but I'd love it if we actually go on a big winning streak to end the year

    I think I’ve never been more relieved by a trade or two!

    I must be losing my mind but I’m really starting to believe that with LeBron back and AD healthy, this is a finals team we’ve got here. Just unbelievable to even *think* such a thing, given where we started.

    The only team I fear in the West is Phoenix, because of Durant. Adding Durant to Paul, Booker, and Ayton is just laughably unfair and so on brand for Durant. There’s no other team I fear if we are healthy, we’ve beaten Denver, Memphis, Warriors, hung with the Kings before our moves, Minny isn’t as good now, Clippers will get injured or like insult someone’s goat and the entire team will catch some virus. I like our chances if we make it in to make a run, at least to scare some teams.
