    Which is positive, because it keeps everyone hungry. But it did look like our vets had things in hand despite parties that were out, etc.

    Because the refs straight up jobbed us at the end overturning the foul on JHS that would have put us ahead.

    The refs did a horrible job last night, otherwise we would have won that easily. We’re just better than the Warriors.

    That AD no call was amazing. Dude literally has hold of AD arm for basically the entire dunking motion and no call

    Yeah that was the other completely outrageous no call, probably even worse than the one on JHS. But JHS's they looked at from all the angles on the challenge and then reversed it. Guess they thought he had the presence of mind to violently flop his head 45 degrees at that instant trying to fool them?

    Fudge is FUN. Both offense and defense. Got skills! Someone weeks ago saw some Lamar Odom in his game. He’s even taller than Lewis I believe.

    Come on, our third string lost that game. We were playing guys who will be in the g-league most of the year and are not ready yet. Our top 7 players dominated. If they would have played regular schedule minutes, we would have destroyed SF and they know it!

    and we didn't have our stopper, Vandy, either. Also, didn't Kuminga play a lot of minutes? I mean why they playing a starter so many minutes?

    Hard for a leopard to change his spots, but that’s a different player right there. Hope he can maintain that type of focus. I can’t imagine that will be easy.

    I dunno .... seems like he is discovering there is actually some joy to be found playing defense now with his apparently better honed and better conditioned body? He seems to be into it.

    Oh .... and also for the optimism thread .... CP2/3 looks old and not a good fit for the starting too small lineup of the Warriors. Have fun Steve while you agonize over the decision between that and asking him to come off the bench.

    Directly copy the twitter URL post from your bowser and it will work. Elon "brilliant" name change has apparently broken the embed function with uses the x.com url
