Well yeah obviously nobody is happy with losing. Winning always makes things happier. But I think this is more than that. Even right now, we're 5-7, which isn't good, but we're right there in the thick of things for a low playoff position.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

I do too and this is why I'll probably stop watching the team until AG, EP and Mario get significant roles.

There were a lot of side stories to energize players in the OKC game. They don't have the team spirit to bring that out of themselves every night.

I hope Henny makes a move soon. A trade for the sake of a trade is a bad idea. A trade for the sake of team chemistry is a good idea.


I said it then and I stick to it.
It's no coincidence Ibaka had a career high against OKC and falls back into place the next game.

The top 5 lottery picks are better than anyone on this team currently - or at least the effort they are willing to put out.


Ibaka has been pretty strong since OKC. His shot was off against Indy but the defense was there. He had a nice night against NO and is playing well tonight.

Ibaka, Biz and Payton are the guys I'm satisfied with so far this season. Everyone else is a disappointment.

I think the rotation and spacing limits Ibaka more than people expected.

Banks it in. Pfft. **** off.

That right there is the one guy over the past 5 years that we have committed to. AG gets taken out of the starting lineup for Jeff Green for no good reason. Mario doesn't play at all. Everybody else is gone. But thank God we've chosen Evan Fournier as the first and only guy to commit to.

Wow, Elf completely checked out of that play. Called Ibaka for the screen, Ibaka didn't do it, Elf passes off to Vuc and Ibaka throws his arms up and checks out of the play, walking to the corner.

There's some tension and miscommunication there. Then again, I wouldn't be in a rush to throw it into Ibaka who's just gonna waste a possession on another one of his turnaround jumpers.

We've added nine new players. We're 5-7 and are in the thick of the conference. People are rooting for us to lose. Makes perfect sense.

Man, Elf is in a bad way out there. Looks like he's pouting. Had no interest in chasing that down.

Fournier looks to pass it to one player only, Vuc. No matter the results
