Is this the guy that threatened to kill someone or the guy who tried to over throw the US Government?

No. He threatened to me.

Really?...I didnt know that.

I’m assuming we are likely not #2 in defensive rating anymore

It was a weirdly homoerotic threat too

Like, he said "You're gonna look up at me with your mouth full, but it won't be my cock, it will be my glock" or something like that

Weird dude.

The details are vague in my mind right now. He told some story involving his 7 year old daughter playing with a boy her age and said something like did he bang her. He then lost his mind.

It didn't feel like we'd have won last night even with Mitch playing

I forgot Mitch was out at one point. :lol: I think he may have helped defensively. We were bad on both sides of the ball last night.

Funny to see we're 9th since the ASB, ahead of Indy, Minny, Cleveland, the Lakers, and Boston.

Has likely to do with Mitch playing again and Brunson missing some time.

Think about this: We are 23rd in offensive rating since the all-star break. Like Thibs must be a magician really....how can you possibly be that bad on offense with this team even if the sample size is somewhat limited....

We are 8th in net rating over the season which IMO is closer to our real team strength than our record. Our record is mainly a function of Brunson being the clutchest player in the NBA and pulling out 4-5 wins which would have otherwise been losses. Our record is better than our player. We should be at like 44-32 right now.
