Roughly what Otis said. Nothing interesting or different

What did you like about the 1st half of the season?

"I like we're 22-13. We need to be better at defense and I think we will with time."

Trades

"It's not the next couple of weeks, it's been since the beginning of the season. Do what's in the best interest of the franchise. I like this team. I've said all season, I like this team. We have a chance. Teams win championships."

Everyone has sources. It's a matter of whose sources are close enough to be privy to trade discussions.

Having said that, the PHX trade will be announced by Friday. :wink:

Ok so nothing knew, and he said nothing incriminating or stupid. Cool, thanks

"I like this team"
"We had our first practices in a while and that will help us"
"I like this team"

If thats the case then NJ can just turn trade requests down. Why would they need to trade anyone if they can keep all their young players and add Howard. If this is true it's a bitch move by Howard. I don't think it is, I'll still give him the benefit of the doubt. But if that's what happens he's as big if not a bigger coward than Lebron.

ReverseAngle (or whoever) said "you're not a writer"... In the end he's getting paid to do what we do here all day for free......

The guy writes tiny little blurb-articles once in a blue moon. I could poop out those things in like 2 minutes (honestly, I could...easily). He also only does maybe a couple a month or so. Is that his full-time job? If so, can I get paid half of what he does to do his job please?

I dont really care tbh.. Poop one out then...Doesnt matter getting paid is getting paid. (assuming he does) those who pretend to write shouldn't bash someone for no reason. People need to grow up.

Poop one out and post it where? Here? I've written quite a few extensive in-depth looks at the Magic's options, the new CBA, a game-theory perspective on the whole ordeal, possible motives of all sides involved....go down the list. What a stupid comment. The guy isn't exactly some amazing writer. I could easily do what he does. Not just saying that to say that, I'm saying that based on my education/background. "Grow up"? People aren't allowed to bash a "writer" if they think his work isn't up to par, but you can bash Otis all day long? Hell, the guy is a "columnist", and much like BS, he constantly has typos and grammatical errors. He called a guy out for mixing up "your" and "you're" and then about 30 minutes later on Twitter screwed up "there" and "their".

Looking forward to seeing what we do with more practice time.
Better schedule in second half.
Like this team.
Busy all year, not just the next two weeks.
50/50 if Dwight stays or not.
