I am not gonna shut up about this. Youve all been warned. Keep in mind that we are currently two-waying Chris Chiozza in any responses.

Yeah, it was a Phish concert. But from what I've read the guy actually purposely jumped. A guy in the comments said he saw it happen.

Ayayi would be nice to have. Who did the Lakers replace him with?

Magic Johnson I think.

Ayayi was on a 2-way, and the Lakers now have Sekou Doumbouya and Jay Huff on 2-ways, so it's one of them......

Lamelo Ball.

Richaun Holmes. 21pts, 11 boards, 2 blocks, 2 assists. 9/10 fga, +20.

We drafted Looney instead of Holmes.

Come on. You can go through every draft, almost, and find players better than your team drafted that were picked later by other teams. But you have to go both ways -- you have to include the Draymonds, Montas, Jordan Pooles, etc., that the Ws picked that turned out better than expected at the time. Or mention the Jimmer Fredettes and Quincy Doubys and Thomas Robinsons that Sacramento DID pick who turned out to be crap.

You want to look at a stat line? Davion Mitchell -- 2 pts, 1-6, with no 3 pointers against Portland. That's the Kings' first rounder, so let's jump to conclusions about that, too. We all know Richaun Holmes turned out to be a good pick, but so did Looney, considering where he was drafted.

I don't expect even a fan board to be all homers, but the relentless cherry-picking of negatives about the Warriors gets a bit tiring.

True, but I need my once-a-season Holmes rant.

Ja Morant reminds me a lot of Allen Iverson. Maybe the evolution of AI.

Anyone watching the Lakers meltdown against the Suns? Very enjoyable. What a train wreck they look like right now.

That BS. Rondo has always been a POS. I hope that fan gets an apology from the org and if not, file a lawsuit.

lol come on man. Looney was last pick in the first and Holmes was 7th in the second - what are we even talking about here? Might as well mention we also missed on Norm Powell and Montrezl Harrel, both second rounders as well. The previous year, a pick we traded for Andre netted Utah Rodney Hood - and Nikola Jokic went in the late second. We could've had Jokic!!!

He could have just been saying "This **** here, he's the one talking bad about my dog" ... not every pointed finger is intended to represent a gun. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

Are all you Warriors fans who wanted Dwight still wanting him?
