so far this season yes. He worked hard during the offseason, changed his diet etc. but he looks terrible :(

We made the right thing for Westbrook but that trade won't end up well for us...

I'll wait to see what the draft picks look like to make that determination.

This team is going to be just good enough to give us some glimmer of hope at times, but we'll ultimately settle into about 11th in the West and not get a good enough pick to do anything about it.

I doubt we'll see any glimmers of hope after the deadline if Galli gets traded off. And any other useful spare parts. A strong second half tank and the new draft odds are where the glimmers will be.

if we trade Gallo soon enough we will end up with a worse seed.

Already 5 turnovers for CP3.

Where's Kizz talking about CP3 making this team so great?

Remember when kizz said Chris Paul is better than Russell westbrook?

Why is PJ Tucker constantly being left wide open? I don't get it.

Russ should feel proud of himself for talking trash to a guy who is playing in his fourth nba game.

If the Hawks are heading to the playoffs...any chance we trade Adams for Chandler and their first?

Instead of going up for an open shot, Adams just holds on to it until he’s triple teamed and loses the ball.

I know he's trash but how is Ferguson -25 in this game?

Just a reminder that Ferguson has scored double digits more times than Steven so far this season...

Why in the world would anyone want Adams?

He's basically becoming OKC Kendrick Perkins Part II. He's averaging 6 PPG this year and has yet to reach double-figures scoring. And in that time we've lost two very close games.

He's regressed to the extreme offensively and his defensive impact is grossly overrated. I can't believe I'm saying this, because I never thought I'd reach this point with Adams, but I'm done with him. He's starting his annual "major regression" about 3-4 months early this season.

Ifthe guy is hurt, bench him until he’s better. He’s gotten dominated by Thomas Bryant and was the one player who should have been able to abuse the warriors more than anyone. They didn’t even have a center yesterday. I saw Harden box him out for a defensive rebound and other rocket guards take the ball away from him. His fumbling easy passes and just looks lost. There are times where he’s not hustling to close out against his man or trying to chase down loose ball rebounds. Oh and his free throw shooting is worse.
