    He's just your average American now. Good for him though. If nothing has changed, someone just sold a lot of weed.

    OK. Who is he? Agree with the sentiment. The 2nd string, even Robinson at some point I'm sure will show it, and all the guys are fun to watch and root for. I enjoy this team much more than the Van Exel pre Kobe and Shaq years. Top to bottom with the roster.

    I said it twice much earlier in the period after we got Luke that this years team that everyone then was mocking, and Moz and hating Russell in the media ..... that they might pull together and turn this into a "Hoosiers" vibe this season. Shock and amaze Baby. Give us health and Moz is pretty vital.

    I'm optimistic that we're 4-3 and the stats show that we're missing open shots. Once we really start nailing those...

    It's ancient history, but no, he wasn't. He just wanted to be in charge of the site really bad and wormed his way back in with promises to CL that he could turn it around and in the end he couldn't. He was a know-it-all douche and waved that flag proudly. Trust me, the people that saw all the behind the scenes stuff daily at CL know the truth.

    I've noticed the 2nd unit is running a weave at the top of the key, which speeds up the game, allows everyone to touch the ball and is helping them lead the league in scoring.

    Question: why aren't the starters running it? Is it a personnel issue or are they trying to be methodical in how they control tempo and bench is trying to speed it up?
