Phoenix just isn’t a good team.

Good news is that they turn the ball over a ton, which is our only offense.

He has a hammy issue he is dealing with. If Booker doesn't play OKC probably wins. If Booker plays OKC could give 130 points and get another Sacramento style whoopin'! If Booker doesn't play and OKC loses I will have nothing left to do but laugh. It won't even be worth getting upset about anymore. I was lower on the team than most going into the season, but if they lose to Sacramento and Phoenix on their way to 0-5 I'm just going to be looking forward to the game against Cleveland where both teams could still be without a win and having an early battle for the most ping pong balls to try to get the #1 pick.

I almost want to see OKC be the last team to get a win, after going to 0-10 at Cleveland, just to see how Presti reacts. If Presti does some stupid move to add to the roster at that point it would be hilarious. I wonder if Houston would give up those four 1st round picks they offered for Butler for PG. Would Presti be smart enough to do that deal? He could still ride out Russ' career, but those unprotected picks from Houston could be huge in the '21, '23 and '25 drafts given the age of CP3 and the lack of talent they could add around then aging PG and Harden.

I don't believe it's possible for a team with still in they're prime Westbrook and George to get the most ping pong balls. I don't care how awful the coach or talent around them is.

Sit this one out if it helps getting Donovan as far away from this team as possible.

Matchup my ass. He's just doing what he always wanted to do, Or is Donovan playing Grant because Patterson can't keep up with Ryan Anderson? Incompetent idiot.

I’ll say it again, Patterson is gone at the deadline. They have clearly shown they are more interested in youth.

Grant's close to 25, does he even count as young anymore?

I bet Donovan told him the wrong time so he could give Ferguson 30 minutes
