We're going to have to start getting some wins.

As long as Clifford is the HC we won't see many wins.

I'm already convinced we will end up with a top 5 pick this season. Which is good because we go into the off-season with a top 5 pick and a new HC.

Who's the backup C? A couple of the SG's on each others shoulders?

Seriously though...how have we not signed a Nerlens Noel type guy...? Seems like a no brainer for depth especially for a team that has dealt with a ton of injuries in the last few years. Got to be prepared for stuff like this and we simply are not.

How old is Clifford? Did he grow up with lil rascals? This idea doesn't seem outside of the realm of possibilities.

The funny thing is we have a 3rd C... but he's in Spain.

Should've flew him to Greensboro when Kai went crazy and got waived.

It must be against the rules and regulations to have a chicken fight center, or could the Hornets revolutionize the game?

He's under contact there, don't think it's that simple

The thing Clifford will love about the chicken fight center is--he can still do the zone and pray tactic.

Does he not have a buyout clause? Surly if he does, it wouldn't be much.

I thought the team had to agree to a buyout? Think we saw some article on this a while ago but can't remember the details.

I really need Lamelo to score 25 plus, Mark to score 12 plus, and Miles to score 15 plus in a parlay. At least do that for me, please.

Knicks 8/11 and 3/4 from the floor so far. We got them right where we want 'em.

Also Brunson on pace for about 80 points tonight

How Cliff managed to go from a good defense with Al Jefferson to a terrible defense with Mark Williams, I'll never know.

Although I think most of it is Cliffs preference of shutting the paint down over 3pt defense. It doesn't work when every team bombs 3's.
