It's easy to get down on our FO but the team is still talented, hopefully they come out wanting to make a statement and don't let them have a huge comeback again.



just defense isn't enough in the modern nba


Of course not, but we're not a finished team

hey, you don't have to buy it, I'm just saying for bad teams/teams that started tanking around us, we're in a good spot

we may be annoyed @ not obtaining shooters/PG over fultz, but hopefully we get that this offseason.. we are not in a terrible place, at least not enough for fans to consider "jumping ship" because of no trades

I think our offense can largely improve from within as the key drivers are going to be Franz, Paolo, Suggs, Black, and Jett.

In all seriousness I'm all for AB over Fultz. We are going the internal development route and I'm ok with that. But we have to actually play them to develop them. I don't particularly care at this point about winning now. Yes, playoff experience would be great for Franz/Paolo. We could still get there playing Jett/AB though.

Revolutionizing the game. Next season half the teams will have their PGs there as well. NBA is such a copycat league.


I actually think we’ve copied the Clips with Westbrook and Nets with Simmons with how we’re using Fultz.

Seems like it’s all he can do right now so it’ll be interesting if he can find some success in it, or just get in the way.


True, but not many teams have PGs with that skill set. Yet. Watching those guys bring it every night destroying the rims will change the league.

That was a foul, but that was one of the latest calls I've ever seen.
