Yeah, I remember the days of those great memes on the first few pages of the PG thread, led by posters like BrunoSkull and others. It's disappointing we've lost that.

I wish I had the skills. Instead I do my part by not posting every random unfunny thought that rolls through my head cluttering up the space for others.

Lead by example.

You won't get a top pick with Siakam, OG and Barnes in the lineup.


Tanking entails players sitting out though.
You cant sit guys entire seasons though. Maybe the last 10-15 games, but by then, they wouldn't be close to the bottom.

Silver wouldn't allow that. Guys missing a bunch of games here and there. Like what the Thunder do with SGA on an annual basis. I am sure he could have come back from his injuries, though.

Convenient that the meeting was before playing the hapless Orlando Magic. Have that team meeting before playing the Boston Celtics on Monday. That would hold more weight.

100% facts.

First page used to be hilarious and creative. is there no new blood out there to go out on a limb and post some cool original stuff? We need the next Turbozone or BrunoSkull (and others too) to step up. There are only so many "look at me!" posts I can take.

FVV could make his life much easier by exploiting that too.


It's not there yet because he buries his head on drives. He showed some improvement last year, but right now he's committing to knocking guys over and getting buckets. One full season of this and ironing out that stepback and then he'll start averaging 4-5 dimes a game.


4 very good assists last night, drive and dish for dunks
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

Boston wasn't their next opponent. The Magic were.

He's averaging more turnovers than assists. That needs to improve moving forward.

Got problems if a players only meeting is required before an Orlando Magic game.

They didn't call the players only meeting to prepare for the Magic. They called it because of their awful loss to the Nets. The Magic just so happened to be the next opponent on the schedule.

Players only meetings are often called as a result of how the team has been playing not for who they are supposed to play in the future.

The meeting wasn't required before the Orlando game, it was required after two bad losses to New Orleans and Brooklyn. Orlando just happened to be the next opponent.
