    I think it’s the NBA who’s holding us back from trading for Kessler because we won’t give up either Knecht or Reaves… over the quota @sirronstuff

    The days of having Rambis, Nater, Lansberger and Steve Mix in one roster are long gone

    Three straight to Texas teams. Tonight was just a meltdown of epic proportions. Shame to do that on Coop's jersey retirement.

    CP3 made sure his team was going to target Rui and Austin defensively in the 2nd half and JJ couldn't adjust in time

    This team just isn’t good enough. If you can’t come through with all out effort for 48 mins and get a win after having time off because of a local tragedy, and use said tragedy as some fuel to give that full effort, then your players simply aren’t good enough. We don’t have 2 way players and we don’t have athletes, we’re just not good enough. Trades would help, but I also feel like this team has just run its course, no coach has been able to get them consistent for any meaningful stretch of time.

    Yeah it was over in 2023 when Bron and AD got swept in the WCF .

    Lakers won't trade Lebron so we're stucked in this "' fight for the play-in era" until you don't even make it until Lebron retire

    really gotta hand it to this year's version of the team in terms of really sniffing out and pursuing that nadir game. each time you think we've had it, we dig deeper and unearth something even more unholy.

    We haven't seen The " Team" envisioned for a single game this season either. We have two guys out, that would be in our top 7. Now I'm still confused on why, after getting swept by Denver, Rob decided that our core was sufficient moving forward, in the first place.

    The people responsible for this roster, will be responsible for the rebuild. I am worried. It’s the same feeling I got as I sat and watched The Rise of Skywalker for the first time, it was “oh.. oh s*** the people in charge of this actually don’t know what they’re doing, like legit are just throwing s*** at the wall.”. It was a sad day, a degree of hopefulness and innocence died in me that day. :D

    Is it at the Intuit Dome? If so will be my first look at the Toilet Palace. I hear it's really impressive where the games are played. Not as much as the toilets of course.

    Can Max slow Harden's scoring? He was nowhere near this level of D or maybe didn't play much or at all the last time we played them. LeBron and DFS ought to be able to give Kawhi all he wants especially while still coming back and getting into game shape. He's not what he was even when he was healthy last time and sometimes LeBron does OK with him. HIM needs to have a clean, low turnovers game and hopefully be hot again. Rui also. AD can outplay Zu and backups. Jax has done well lately and now we have some muscle down low if needed with Trey. Still convinced JJ is upgrade over Ham so there's that as well.

    Max played 5 seconds in game where LeBron made huge comeback and 10 minutes in another game and didn't score.Yes it's completely different Max.
    f*** you pimple
