    That's apart of it.

    There's other parts, too.

    I think he sticks around for the rest of the season, though.

    Frank loves his defensive guys.

    Yeah. I think he sticks. He showed me enough in his time on the floor.

    16-18 coming up on January, off a 5 game losing streak. I don’t care about missing players and injuries, we should have won some of those games, even if just 1 or 2. We’re screwed, something has to change, because the schedule only gets harder and this roster isn’t cutting it. Having Ariza and Reaves back will help, but we’d also probably be wise to hang into Stanley Johnson and let someone else go, like DJ.

    We would be wise to stick a fork in this roster and move on.

    This team ain't winning sh*t.

    we stink today, but also about to rip off about 10 in a row and shock league leading teams with some serious drubbings. Just wanted to be the first to call it.

    One of the 100 things irritating me is when our guys come out of protocol, they look like they haven't played ball in weeks. Bulls and Nets both had to cancel games before we play them and their guys look like all star level to superstar level their first game back.

    But I actually liked that team. They were losing for strange reasons. That team looked good on paper and put forth effort. I hate this team. It looked like a potential disaster before the season started, and it has been even worse than we could imagine due to them deciding the season was over in October.

    I would agree that the amount of excitement and expectation going into the season was on par with 2012.

    Glad I didn’t watch this one. Instead, I decided to have a stress free Christmas with my immediate family.

    Nunn was very good for the Heat last season. I’m not going to blame Rob for not being able to predict the onset of bone spurs. It’s not like the kid has had a long, injury plagued history.

    Nets and Bulls lost guys on game day and couldnt sign players quick enough to have the legal amount so those games got postponed. Nothing BS about it.

    the 2012-13 roster was built properly. it was just sh**** luck that nash suffered a severe injury that basically ended his career in like the third game and dwight wasn't quite recovered from back surgery

    this roster was doomed from the start with all the undersized guards who don't play defense. everyone just figured they'd be fine because of bron-westbrook-AD but in today's NBA, you actually need guys who can play defense instead of relying on your superstars to do everything

    I’m hoping just for the hell of it, and for the kid himself, that McClung can actually see some minutes for the Bulls today or at least before his 10 days expire …. and that against all the odds he plays reasonably well.

    Nah. It’s absolutely BS. There is a clear COVID outbreak happening and instead of shutting it down teams are having to cobble together line ups with 10 day players for games that count in the win loss column.

    I’m not going back and forth about the pandemic on here though because I know how it will turn out.
