    -Was at Sunday night's game, sitting in loge 101, center court. By late 3rd quarter, two guys near us were heckling Byron pretty bad.. He could definitely hear them, especially when he would stand near the scorer's table arms folded.. we were all in the 2nd/3rd row, 5th overall.

    -He turned and glared at one point.. Pretty surreal yet uncomfortable.

    That's great to hear. At least he's hearing it from someone.

    so...is it just my racial stereotyping that made me think this guy could shoot? i could have sworn that at some point, ryan kelly was known as a guy who could hit an outside shot. in college. maybe even his first year in the pros. but man, teams are leaving him open, and he is clanking like kobe. i do like a lot of what he brings, but without being a shooter, he's not an nba rotation player.

    Kelly looked against preseason camp fodder, and fooled everyone to believe he was NBA 2nd string material. No.

    Black should be taking all of Kelly's minutes.

    It isnt' really between Black and Kelly. Black should the back up center. It's between Kelly, Bass, and perhaps Nance. Frankly, Bass has been garbage. He hasn't been any better than Kelly so I don't mind Kelly in there if he's along side a real center.

    Kelly looks right at home in the D-League. He should stay there, for good. He can play freely, play all the awful defense and take all the ugly shots he wants, yet he's still tall enough and skilled enough to look really good and score a lot, it's perfect.

    At Ryan's exit interview they just played that gif on a loop until he figured it out and left the room.

    yeah, this experiment is over, as is sacre's. both seem like good guys, but they have not improved enough to justify hanging onto roster spots. give me veterans or guys with higher upside in those spots next year.

    Honestly Sacre would be acceptable to me, but it's just so low on my list of priorities that it's basically a non-issue. I'd be just as happy bringing back DJ Mbenga.

    Just thinking about how bad he is and I was left wondering is it possible that he lost a step already? Remember his first year he was running around low key blocking everyone and throwing down a dunk in traffic out of nowhere? He didn't even come close to doing anything like that.

    Anyway, good riddance, Take your stupid looking man bun and move on to your new house you made from all those bricks from 3 point land.

    Hey behave. Don't even go there in jest. There might be Buss' listening somewhere who could mistake you for a bartender and follow your advice.
