Self-sabotage is hard to watch right now w/ this one. Bailey Zappe is good TV.

I’ll be back for the 4th quarter, ughh.

Anyone who thought this team was going to steamroll and finish #1 seed the first year together hasn't paid attention to history of teams making big changes to the lineup. It's going to take months for chemistry to form, just how it goes.

Having said that, it's extremely frustrating how terrible this team is in 3Q.

Phoenix with Chris Paul?

Let’s pretend you’re dating someone whiney and entitled. How’s the chemistry going to be between the two of you?

It can’t be fun playing with someone like that either. It’s destroys teams.


Why do you think Ant said he liked playing with a “smaller lineup”? You don’t think he was sending a subtle message?

The basketball we are playing right now is terrifying. Even so I'm still not panicking with these early games. If ar doing this 25 games in then we are dead but I will allow some grace in the early season, we clearly are out of sorts, very little chemistry or cohesion.

What do you mean? They are doing a great job of it. The only problem is Jazz got our pick this year.

This defense would make Michael Beasley blush

Our only defensive stops is when they miss the wide open threes

Adam Silver put teams on notice in regards to tanking today on “NBA Today”.

So yea, winning is a new thing it seems.

Unpopular take, but we should go for Kyrie with a package built around Russell excluding McD.

We should have tried back when he was on the market pre-KD situation, but at this point, Brooklyn is 100% all-in on trying to win a Championship, this season. They would never consider that trade.

Until Kyrie finds a minuscule reason to become a locker room cancer again and wants out. You never know…

This team needs Pat Bev in the worst way. No discipline. No leadership. No effort.

KAT missed a lot of the training camp. Bunch of new faces besides one of the best players in the league who happens to be a big man like KAT, but there is absolutely o way they won’t figure it out with so much talent that’s a good fit on paper.

It only takes 2 passes to get a wide-open 3 every time

Teams don't really tank in the opening weeks of the season. No one wants to come out and start taking losses day one. These teams play hot and with hope, start to see they aren't good, and then the tanking sets in. No one is really tanking right now, everyone is excited and playing hard.
