Go out and lose this one for pelifan!

He supported us whole last season so it's time for a payback!

If we don't win this game, I really don't know what to say. Especially after how Denver man-handled them.

I'm looking for Westbrook to be more efficient and consistent. That is all.

It all comes down to Russ ultimately. You can blame Donavan, or Andre or Melo or whoever you want. But the central figure who controls the tempo and dominates the ball has to show better control of both the game and his emotions. Every time he stops to argue calls with the ref rather than getting back on defence - he hurts his team, every time he gambles for leaves his man gambling for steals - he hurts the team, every time he jacks up a early in the shot clock three instead of looking for higher quality looks - he hurts the team. If I am a 'role player' who is trying to implement the game plan, bust a gut to defend and do the right thing and then turn around to find that Russ has left his defensive assignment it must really piss them off. At the moment he is a player who doesn't trust his team mates on offence and cant be trusted by his team mates on defence.

Baron thinks Russ is akin to MJ.

At this point it’s going to take multiple good performances and wins for this team to get my attention.

I'm looking forward to Billy going with both Huestis and Grant against Cousins and Davis.

Honestly Friday was the last straw for me. I kinda checked out emotionally until they earn it back. I just really can't get into it no matter how hard I try. I might just watch MNF, especially given I'd have to stream the game on my chromebook anyway.

you fellers who were anti-tank can't check out on the team after 15 games!

In that case anyone who was "pro tank" can't check in!

I was full tank until we got George. Of course I also thought Oladipo and Sabonis weren’t very good. So what do I know?

sabonis figuring it out is rough. i was super low on him. one of the worst offensive pf in the nba last year. who knew?

anyway, we're on track for something like 46-52 wins imo, i'm still guessing between 5-6 srs. i thought the idea was to enjoy this season with the big 3 and everything?

Just want to note I said Vic was worth that contract and loved Domas. But this team is just bizarrely hard to watch at times, and often those times outweigh times they're entertaining. Add to that the fact that my only way to watch is streaming on about a 12-15 inch chromebook monitor while I can't do anything else during the game, it's a pain in the butt.

Tank! Tank! Tank! Trade George and Melo for whatever they can get! Trade Russ next off-season. Tank! Tank! Tank!

I want a starting lineup of Russ, Abrines, Ferguson, PatPat and Dakari. Let Abrines, Dakari and Ferguson show what they have. We know what we have in Roberson and Adams.

I can relate. I'm stuck watching game on my ipad this year. Just moved and everything that can go wrong is.

It throws off my whole night. I've debated a chromestick, but usually I work out in the evenings and it won't work on my TV in the workout room. Can't imagine on an iPad, even smaller yet.

Plus I usually box score watch on ESPN and the feed is a little ahead of the stream, which just gets distracting.

Haven’t seen you in a while. Well timed and welcome back.

If I had thought we couldn’t do any better than this with George I would have stuck with the tank. I’m not enough of an optimist to enjoy the season with what I’ve seem so far.

i have such a kludge-y way i watch games on the tv these days without league pass. in the closet where my media server is, i also have a cheap windows laptop that is connected via hdmi in the wall to the tv in the livingroom. i use a remote desktop app on my phone to control the laptop and watch streams on the tv. there's probably a much easier way to do this using chromecast or whatever but this way i don't get any sort of lag or choppiness.
