    Are you saying I have a low IQ or that all I post are trade bait? I don't know what "posy" means in this context.

    In which case he is accusing me of posting low IQ trade bait.

    Interesting.

    Ah that makes more sense.

    Except it doesn't really. You finally made a positive post and I ribbed you a bit and said we should bronze the post. I was honestly quite happy to read a positive take from you that didn't involve any backhanded compliment attached to it. It was refreshing.

    I have been very upset about Clarkson at times. These last few games deserve praise. That doesn't mean he doesn't often play a very stupid game that stops offensive production from a team perspective. I don't see why two things could be correct: Jordan plays a low IQ game and that Jordan has played well the last couple games. I'm not sure why my posting these things has any affect on you and your singular positive post though.

    But all power to you.

    JC has a history of having ups and downs , this is who he is going to be 4 seasons into his career .

    However getting the ball out of his hands to put it in Ennis ones was one of the dumbest decisions I ever witnessed .

    Glad he's back on track , if you're not hedging the PNR against him , he's going to kill you

    This is a sad misunderstanding of my position. I hope you learn to find joy. Living life in black and white seems bleak.

    I guess it was ladies night at Staples again.

    Good job jc! The 10 assist is the more impressive stat. Please keep playing like this, remember in your rookie year when Nash was mentoring you and he was our point guard of the future, that's the JC we need every game!

    Up and down to date sure but his repertoire and skill levels are just blowing up. Think maybe better defending Lou Williams type career and how valuable that is.

    Glad to see JC becoming more than just an Iso player. The 10 assists are a great sign.
    He's definitely showing signs of being a tremendous player..

    Back to back killer games when we needed it. I was ready to let Clarkson go for a first rounder, but now I just don't know. With the injury plague hitting us hard we need him to win games. We don't win either of these without him.

    Let Pope walk...keep Clarkson (unless something that is hard to pass comes up) with Hart as the back-up if this keeps up. Other than Ingram, he is our best off the dribble scorer even if he is out of control more than we like.

    He needs to be our Point Guard when Lonzo is out....and even when Lonzo is back, he should be getting the backup minutes.

    Get him in PnR situations and he's going to kill you every time. Remember his rookie year when he was..umm...our point guard? Yeah, let's not forget he HAS those skills but we haven't been putting him in those situations too often since his rookie year

    Clarkson has some handles to play the point. Correct he did spend time there in his first year. Maybe Clarkson could be that interchangeable starter with Ball just to reduce the pressure as well as the wear and tear on the latter. It was a concept most here had in mind had we not traded away Russell.

    theyre not tanking, maybe ill see as less black n white in praising a team for losing by less to better teams but generally im not paying praises when loses start to mount, win as a team, lose as a team....
