    Not playing much and playing poorly when you do; not exactly my idea of a must have prospect.

    I’m perfectly fine with building a properly balanced team around Luka and AR.
    I’m willing to bet that so is the Laker FO.

    And he could make the All Star team and you would still say he’s trash and not worthy of a new contract. Wash, rinse, repeat.
    So fun.

    Very curious to see what the Nuggets do. They have to shed some dead weight and they also need a roster shake up.

    If they do end up keeping Watson, that's good for us too because that means one of our cap space competitors gets wiped off the board by eating one of their bigger contracts.

    Oh you're such a hard a** .... LMAO. Reality is out the window too. And still with the AR's "injured a**" blasts while players around the league at all levels of game are dropping like flies. Yeah right you are going to be just fine with whatever the new sheriff Walter decides to do going forward as far as roster.

    These MF went 1-20 in the 4th quarter. That s*** is ridiculous, how can you miss 27 out of your last 28 shots?

    No, he's worthy of a new contract. The amount of money to me is debatable, IMO; however, if he gets max, I'll be pissed like the first day and curse on the board, but I'll get over it. He's also overrated, IMO.

    But if you have a pair of Austin shoes, and a jersey and enjoy his game, or just one of those three, that's cool.

    Absolutely. PO's are do or die. If you're out there, you're performing or not. No time for excuses.

    This is where we let out ba**s drop.

    umm: Hawks, Magic, and now the Lakers did it to Houston. What is happening to the offenses? The Hawks game was brutal but the Magic offensive collapse was horiffic and the Lakers completely choked up houston too

    I told y’all in the summer. Read my post when Van Fleet tore his ACL that would destroy the Rockets they’re done. And yall said Van Fleet who’s Van Fleet he’s not that much of a difference maker. They still got KD. You see the difference he makes on that team.? What I was telling yall. He puts everybody in their perfect spots. Really makes those other guys better players. And he’s a great shooter and better defender than Sheppard. Championship pedigree.

    Great series close out. Ayton was huge if we can keep having him play Angry. Tonight we saw what having Austin back for us means.

    well no game til Tuesday more time for Luka to heal. Maybe game 3 in Los Angeles. I like that OKC will be rusty.

    and I’m glad we beat a young upstart team like Houston. Thiero looks so bouncy. Can we play him a little bit against OKC????????

    I don’t care what anybody says I want Austin Reaves back on this team. Stop talking about his contract. He’s so selfless. The fact that he’s out there in a contract year says everything you need to know about him as a player.
