I was about to take care of high level but looks like it was dealt with, now back to our blow out loss

I guess his name meant a "high level troller" or "high level delinquent to be" or "high level tool"

I fully expect this unfortunate shaming machine to his parents to make a come back after another until perma IP banned.

Most likely, honestly I was expecting him to come back sometime today

kids nowadays...

Well we give up 131 points, I hate to see this since I've always loved great defense. I'm getting tired of all these blow out losses, but sadly there could be more since we're short handed. The all star break can't come soon enough so we can regroup and see how we can fix our current situation.

Is it finally time we make those offense for defense trades I've been wanting for some time?

Probably not, but the defense is just atrocious right now, horrible.

People can call me a troll or not a real fan because I'm always on the negative nancy side of the fence but I've been saying this all year.
Our defense needs to improve drastically or we won't get out of the first round. We've played defense only twice this year. We have a record of 14 - 12 against plus .500 teams. Ever since the pre-season game against Utah, you could tell that our D was a joke including basic fundamentals such as rebounding and getting back. I don't know what frustrates me more, the fact that our roster lacks defensive grit or that Doc plays a horrible defender in jamal out of position.

They have played awesome defense on some small stretches (the Warriors xmas game, 1st half vs Atlanta, 1st quarter of the Raptors game last Friday, and some other times), that's what frustrates me the most, that they tease us every once in a while with what could be this team's defense if everyone was focused and doing what they're supposed to for long stretches, and it looks like a top-of-the -league defense those times. But I guess that's what being bad on defense means, not being able to maintain your peak level for long stretches.

I think it is more about player effort and the system. I see some players make a great play and then take 2 plays off. the clips surely need better defense and I think that must come from within. as everyone knows in the playoffs if you can not defend for a whole game you will most likely get beat. on another note, why can we not get any info on jj,s condition. there is nothing on nba.com. other players that are starters have a hang nail and something is said. also if blake is out very long the playoffs could be a problem.
