    I don’t get why this thread is even getting bumped, we hung in there and tried hard against a tough Kings team. We know first hand how good a Mike Brown coached team can be. I liked the effort from the squad! GO TEAM! :cool:

    At this rate, Rob will earn his next extension already by the All Star break.
    Jeanie must be sooooo thrilled!
    My silver lining: Rob will do nothing of consequence, and LeBronze will ask to be traded this summer. Please make it so.

    Refs hate us. Can you believe that soft as call Harrison Barnes got? NO ONE on our team gets that call.

    LOOK at this. This is what you get when you out a roster together with no shooting. They’re only even as close as they are to those other guys because you have to be to not get a defensive 3 call

    I still can’t believe Jeanie gave Rob an extension. I sure hope there are others within the organization who openly start to question this as the season drudges on.

    While true... comeon. That's Barnes and Fox. AD should be able to take both of these midgets. Make them foul you. Push for position. Something. He does none of that, half of the time. Second banana.

    When we were up 114-112 with 1:38 left, show of hands: how many wondered, "How will we eff this up?"

    Okay, and how many wondered if Russ would take a shot that would BRICK during that collapse?

    I raised my hands twice just now. 2-10.

    My gawd, this team is such a bunch of LOSERS.

    Dude has no fire.
    He’s happy with his one Ring.
    Most aren’t built to be great.
    We were beyond spoiled with Kobe for 20 seasons.

    When you're 2-9, desperate for a win, playing SAC at home, up by 2 with 1:38 left and end up losing by allowing the other team to close out the game on an 8-0 run, it's a strong indication that you suck and maybe: you're hopeless losers.

    Add that to this: It's Nov 11th and we've already had TWO 5-game losing streaks. My gawd, I need to step away from this CRAP.

    Didn't bother watching tonight's game. I figured it was either going to be one of those fake comeback games or one of those games where they blow a lead and lose by 3 points.

    didn't see the game, but this is the kind that makes you push some pretty large buttons, imo. i'll be surprised if there isn't a decent-sized roster move within a week.

    The team is awful. Somehow performing a bit worse than I thought they would and I only expected 4 to 5 wins.

    The problem with blowing it up is that I have zero faith that the front office can build a competent roster.

    Cleaning house is definitely on the table but man this is a complete disaster. If there are no changes to the organization itself then I fear trading everyone away won’t do much good either.

    I think either Lebron and/or AD will have to put pressure on them to do something. Right now they seem content just sitting on the fence between blowing it up and trading their remaining assets LBJ/AD and improve marginally.
