Please stay healthy Gallo. No way a team won't give us a first for him if he keeps playing like that.

Chris Paul has played like a 40 year old man tonight.

I'm not sure we have enough first round picks to get rid of CP3 if he keeps playing like this

Like I’ve said, he’s either good and someone trades for him or he’s bad and we get a better pick. Were under no pressure. Tonight it looks like the latter.

I was kidding. I'm fine with keeping CP3 for 3 years while not giving up any asset.

We might be the second worst team in the west with Donovan and schroder. Especially since Adams beatdown by Kanter doesn’t look like a fluke anymore. It’s pretty impressive that Ferguson is athletic and appears to be a hard worker, yet hasn’t developed in offensive skills going into his third year.

Whooooo! Here I was afraid that having CP3 and Gallinari might keep us "just good enough" to finish, like, 10th in the West and get the 11th pick.
But I don't know, we might truly be a bottom five team in the league and be in the running for a top 5 pick this year.

Oh, and Ferguson, our starting SG, has attempted 4 shots in 46 minutes this year and has scored 4 points.
And, somehow, he hasn't even been our most frustratingly disappointing starter. That honor goes to one of the worst contracts in the league in Steven Adams.

maybe Westbrook wasn't that bad as a PG to feed Adams and Ferguson...

Anyway SGA playing well is the most important for me. Gallo as well. CP3 is our biggest issue though.

Went back and looked at the Wizards roster...I haven't even heard of 2/3rds of their roster and we just lost to them by 12 on our home floor.

I thought Adams might get more chances to do stuff & so far it feels like he's getting even less than he used to
Gallo looks like Melo on defense

It depends on if you all sell off the vets, IMO. This was just one night, but if you keep all of Adams, Paul, and Gallinari through 82 games I don't see bottom 5 overall even if you're near the bottom of the west.
It comes down to Presti.

Is Billy incapable of answering a question or does he just endlessly talk in circles?

2 guys on the whole team in double figure scoring? That is ridiculous. I could find guys in the D-League that could score 10 ppg
My eyes glaze over when reading alternative stat (not advanced stat) narratives that go many paragraphs long. If you can not make your point in 2 paragraphs it may not be a great point.

Welcome to a billy Donovan offense- Where ball movement and role players come to die.

Interesting you said role players come to die. Seems like 70% of the guys on the floor are role players. This is kind of crazy. SGA is pulling his weight. Gallo is pulling his weight. They need another 3-5 players to step up and do something. I think Adams could be scoring more although he is rebounding well. A starter is playing 23 minutes a game but is only averaging 1 point per game more than you.
