We said the same thing last year and were 2-0 against them, though.


Didn't change the way I felt about this game.

A nice "Welcome Back Home" gift, but look on the bright side you get to watch Parsons for 48 mins

Make sure your wife/girlfriend and kids don't walk in on you, would probably be quite embarrassing.

Have minecraft on another computer or something.

Jefferson was terrible defensively ( get use to it, its been going on for two years and you guys act like this is some massive revelation or some **** ) Hairston sucked ( Barnes literally had saliva coming out of his mouth when he was guarding him ) Marvin sucked, Cody Sucked.


Perfect summary of how this game went down.

If there was ever a game when MKG would've been helpful, it was this one.

Im going to close the door, lock it, and beat my meat to sara jay to try get over this loss. It will cure it for 19 seconds, or however long it takes.

Golden State is definitely currently a better team but I think if we had all our guys healthy we are capable of beating them.

we could also have all our guys healthy and be capable of losing to the Sixers.

All of these players may be great fits but there was never a chance at any of them.

Not entirely true. I know you're talking trade. But Klay Thompson was available to us in the draft. We could have had Klay Thompson and Kawhi Leonard out of that draft. Instead, we took Biz and Kemba.

Considering we did it twice last season with a less talented roster, we are certainly capable. But the whole team was running around with their heads up their vaginas last night.

I don't feel too bad about this loss, we played one of the best teams in the league at home (typically a rowdy environment at Oracle) on the second night of a back-to-back. That's not a recipe for success. Would have been nice to see a closer game regardless, but I'm not in panic mode over this one.

Dallas game would be big to steal. After that there is a respite with games against Indiana/Orlando. Honestly our schedule is tough all through the end of the month, where we finish playing Blazers/Clipper/Warriors/Hawks. After that it lightens up significantly, we even get a game against OKC when Westbrook/Durant will presumably still be hurt. I think if we can enter December just a game or two under .500 it will be an accomplishment, and the team can make its run after that. Hopefully by then the injury situations and rotation will be sorted out.

the loss last night is the first time this season that i haven't been pissed about a loss. that game was a recipe for disaster from the start.

i am also not going to have high expectations for monday vs the mavs. 3rd game in 4 nights, coming home from california on sunday at 6am, half the team injured, against a red hot mavs team - yeah, not expecting a win or even a very competitive game to be honest.
